16GB White iPhone on Softbank.
congrats man!
i love the iPhone, but if apple was so cool and hi-tech why doesn't the iPhone still support "mms"(multimedia messaging) and video recording? that's so retarded, i'd have one if it did the above, which every phone nowadays can manage....even the cheapest nokia camera phone records video and does mms!
apple would have easily won me over had the iphone had mms and video.

Better late than never.
EBA is so addicting.

All in all I had a pretty pleasant experience. My local Apple store had (at least) one thousand iPhones in stock today. There were some activation issues in the morning which caused the line to move incredibly slow at first, but it was manageable. After they gave up trying to activate the new iPhones in store, the line started moving extremely fast. Every customer got a 1 on 1 experience with an employee, which was very pleasant. Every half hour or so the employees would walk around w/ coolers of Smart Water to give away to people in line. I stayed nice and hydrated. I also scored a bunch of free schwag (gift card, samples, etc) from C&C Bigelow next door since they were giving away bags of stuff to people in line. I think my gf will dig that stuff.
I met some cool people in line, one guy was an IT director at JP Morgan Chase. He was fun to talk shop with. There were also some Computer Science undergrads from OSU that I spent a lot of time talking to as well. Lots of geek wisdom was shared. A lot of people had the 2.0 software already on their 1st gen iPhones, so there were a lot of people playing monkey ball this morning. LOTS of people in suits (take that BJ!) which surprised me, haha. There were also some Cupertino folks hanging out as well, and they were pretty cool to talk to. We took turns going next door to grab breakfast/lunch at COSI.
The best part was when I was the next person in line to enter the store this tattooed hipster guy ran up and offered me $100.00 to switch places in line with him. He was about 30 places back. Apparently he was running late for work, so he wanted to get in/out as soon as possible. I immediately took him up on the offer! It was awesome. I ended up getting out of the store w/ my iPhone about a half hour after he did. Easiest $100.00 I have ever made, haha.

How much are these new Iphones? Or all you guys getting it on Contract?
Oh what a coincidence. I just received the same TV today.ahoyhoy said:
Samsung Series 4 37' 720p. only $798
Such a beautiful product, even when it's not on.
Too bad it is downright mediocre. The image quality is awful. I can't stand it. It's so blurry and jaggy too.
Luckily I'm able to return the television to the retailer.
I might just get the Series 5 1080p 37" instead.

May the Schwartz be with you
After having a Sega CDX growing up (My brother ended up taking it with him along with mine and his games) I finally found another in good condition. Came with 4 controllers as well.
Some games I found locally or with the purchase:
Ninja Gaiden 2, Burnout, and NBA Street, got some good deals on them all.
NES games I got locally...<3 Track n Field.
Ipod games I bought a few days ago
WELCOME TO THE ROCK...and parappa the rapper on clearance for 7dollars

Amazing deals from Amazon as usual. I'm expecting Batman TAS Season 4 in the new couple of weeks to complete my collection. Sometime next week, I should get my Batman Begins bluray gift set in anticipation of TDK.
Also, the camera I use has been unusually blurry for awhile, I really need to figure it out and fix it.

The sexual feeling you get from playing on Sanwa/Seimitsu buttons vs the Hori clone buttons is that of legend...
But yea... The buttons are a bit mushy and sometimes nonresponsive. They tend to die out after repeated use too. Easy fix, annoying fix. Better to fix it and have it over and done with.

If you're worried at all about scratching the touch-screen on your new DS I would get a plastic protector for it. They're like $10 at Best Buy....w/o it you're gonna scratch the hell outta that sexy piece of electronics.

Okay, my sister lost my camera charger, but today I got SGT Frog 10 and a Eva Asuka figure where she's sitting on a wall. I'll post a pic as soon as I can charge my doodah again.

Bought this from Forbidden Planet. Its really cute!
Shame about the crappy photo, I had to use my phone to take this pic (Sony Erricsons W850i) because my camera battery is out of charge and my sister left the charger at her house >_< So I can't take nice photos right now.

I actually put a hori protector on it before I played it. I think you can kinda tell in the picture because the touch screen looks a bit faded.MikeE21286 said:

Sorry for the bad webcam pic but... Baldur's Gate II CE!!!
Temple of Elemental Evil is not as good as I remember it, even with the Co8 patches, but ah well. And a friend sent me the floppy version of TIE Fighter... too bad it's not the CD version though
And I went back home for a friend's wedding and found Planescape Torment in a box stowed away in a closet in my old bedroom. Completely forgot I owned it still... Got another copy of Throne of Bhaal since my cd was getting kinda scratched and wanted to play multiplayer with my GF, and got a pretty mint Sam & Max Hit the Road to add to my Sam & Max collection.
