How many of you can guess what I bought? I'm sure that some of you already remember what was next on my list.

Ding ding ding. You are right Sir J. Please take any stuffed toy from the center shelf.

The 80.

The 40 seems to have QC issues (as well as no SACD). Something like a 40% return rate. That's why I didn't want the 360. The 40 is the only one made at a different location though. The others should be ok, so far.

The 60 was high on my list, but the special ended. Faced with the 80 plus a game vs the 60 with no game, both at the same price, I went with the 80.

CC and BB both submitted their BF lists today. Only the 40GB is on them.

It's about time!!!! Look at this guy, format neutral just like that.

Congrats. I've had my PS3 running for a year now with no problems. Not sure if your into animation, but you gotta give Rataouille a try. Some of the best PQ I have seen so far. Just excellent. Head over to JR.com. There's a decent sale going on. BR titles as low as $12.99

Hmm.. Anything good?

It was tough to pick my 5 freebies. I had to Google a few of the titles to find out what they were about.
How embarrassing.

Congrats on the new toy GM. I have the 360 with the HD add-on and while it is servicable enough I've considered going this route as well. Ultimately, you combine the lack of material on HD DVD and the intrusive fan level of the X-Box and it is not the best solution.

I look forward to reading your impressions and enjoy your new toy...as it were.

That's what you get. I wouldn't buy a Sony ANYTHING with your money or play it with your hands... LOL... They've lost millions on that thing. Is there yet ONE game worth getting that thing to play that I couldn't play better on PC?

I'll still have fun playing it.
Sony? Never my first choice. But choices are limited. And my computer is not hooked up to my 106" HD projector.
