I think that we should give up on the bailout and just have Chuck Norris beat the economy into submission.

The Palm Pre looks awesome!

Cool!

Rock On!

I didn't get a gift, but I did get to go to MINIs Take The States in Miami. There were close to 400 MINIs there, plus the yet to be released John Cooper Works Clubman and MINI Challenge race car!

I was just in an area similar to this. The price of premium unleaded was $4.40 a gallon. The pumps read $2.20 a gallon and the station owner multiplied by 2.

These things are so rad!

I have never heard someone call a Civic LX a "better car" than anything except when they are talking about something like a Civic DX, Corolla, or Fit.

The point is that many people have HDTVs that only support 720p or 1080i. Not everyone has the luxury of 1080p. Why on earth would someone spend extra money on a player that their TV is incapable of displaying the signal from?

I have a 1080p TV, a HD-A20, and a PS3 for Blu-Rays (I don't play games on it at all). I couldnt care less about who wins the war, because I am covered either way.

Now, having said that, I don't see SONY winning this war when there entry level player (PS3) is 4 times as expensive as the competition! DVD's mainstream adoption didn't begin until after they hit the $200 price point, so if SONY hopes to win this war they need to start taking a huge hit on the pricing for the player, because after the holidays, It's all over.
