I need one so my wife can play video games with me! ... Admittedly it might take more than a 2nd controller to get her to do that but 1 less thing to worry about.

I don't have a TV in my bedroom but I do have a desktop. So it's pretty convenient to be able to watch movies on it. If iMacs get Blu-ray then it's going to be like a 1-click buy for me =P.

due to the economy my company has laid off all the keyboard and mice.

Mine says 22nd too. I'm not sure what to do now because I really thought it'd come by the 19th. I'm out all next week =/ bummers.

mine says delivers by the 22nd =/ i was hoping for it to come the 19th. maybe there's still hope?

@Paul I want the Pre but I'm reluctant to give up that Apple ecosystem. You're right, I asked myself about playing music. My solution? I'm getting an iPod Nano if I get a Pre.

I read an article (originally in a magazine. And yes, people still read those) about Crispin Porter & Bogusky regarding their efforts for Microsoft. Here's a snippet about them using Macs in their office:

In April 2007, long before the Microsoft account came Crispin's way, Bogusky had told me that "Crispin sort of exists because of the revolution in desktop publishing that the Mac brought about. You could be a small shop and compete against Madison Avenue for the first time because all the tools were in your computer." That may explain why Keller and Reilly are today using their team as an early focus group for learning how to persuade Mac lovers to embrace Windows. "You've got a lot of passionate Mac people in here, and they've got to get their head around this thing -- why Windows is genius," says Keller. He and Reilly have outfitted their shared office (inherited from Bogusky) with an Xbox 360, which they've been using as a wireless hub. But their joint desk also holds two ultrathin MacBook Airs. When I ask if they're making their team get rid of their iPods and PowerBooks, Reilly responds, "It's not a matter of forcing people. It's getting them to want to use it. If you can't, you're not going to do great advertising."

really? ok, i haven't preordered from gamestop before. thanks, i hope that's the case. looking at the favorable metareview at metacritic.com has got me drooling.

I preordered the CE from Gamestop 3 months ago. I checked a few minutes ago and it said it's been backordered. What the hell was the point in preordering it? Sorry, I'm just grumpy because I reaeeeeeelly want to get my hadoken on.
