Thats a famicom themed remote. From the looks of it.

poor, homeless and tasteless
Just picked up a couple of Jrpg gems @ Gamestop, namely Radiata Stories and Valkyrie Profile 2 : Silmeria.
The guy at the counter told me about a combo (with a coupon out of a pamphlet of theirs) where I would end up paying only $5 more than the used games alone for
A) Members Card (10% off used games, I'll save more than $5 for sure)
B) 1 Year subscription to GameInformer
I decided the $5 was worth it.

Skate was part of my COD4 preorder from BB that added a free $10 gift card. They screwed up the shipping of said card and offered an additional $10 online discount.
I shaved $10 off the other three with a BB coupon.
Wallet still am cry for the rest of the month*, just a tiny bit less.
* Folklore, Duck Amuck, FIFA, [snip], Castlevania (PSP), Stranglehold, Ratchet & Clank, Simpsons... dear God!

Now to spend the next 2 hours uninstall all the unnecessary crap it came with =(
I was just going to ask you how long it took to reformat and get rid of all the bloatware sony installs.
Infernodash said:
Problem is that Sony includes no installation cds =( Just some sort of hidden backup partition. So you can't reformat, which I would've preferred. Unless I download another "copy" of Vista and use my existing License. Going to try to uninstall most of the crap and disabling stuff thru msconfig first. Deleting Norton Internet Security (should be called Norton System Hog) now.
And my god the amount of Vaio crap that's on there
Sexy machine though

Definitely is a sexy machine. I was recently in the market for a new laptop, but I've decided to hold out for mid 2008. Sony was high on my list but after much research I've found that their bloatware, lack of driver support for XP, etc, I had to write them off. I'll reassess them Summer 2008.
D3, a Danish gaming expo. Nothing big really, just want to try out games like Rock Band and stuff like that. Hopefully it will be there Also a few of my friends from Copenhangen will be going too so it'll be cool to see them again
Normally I hate iPods, but I won this one in a workplace lottery. Can't remember if I've posted it already.

I've got a 16GB myself. (3 weeks ago so it won't count as an October pickup). It's a matter of mind power -- no wait, Mind Power (tm). If you must have all your music on your hip, don't get one. Get an iPod classic.
I have a playlist of songs that I've listened to only once (or less) plus a bunch of TV shows... plus "Grosse Pointe Blank". Hm, that's still a great deal of content.
...forget what I said: Get one.

decon said:Last, a book on ninjutsu which I've just started training. It's an awesome material art so way and I'll probably be training it for years to come
The first rule of the Secret Art is to not tell people you are using a widely available book.

that's exactly what i do with every Vaio laptop i buy.....my bro buys a Vaio like every 6 months and begs me to uninstall the crap it comes with since he doesn't want to uninstall something important accidentally(he's not very techy when it comes to computers)
and btw, my laptop is the exact same one as yours, only mine is a Centrino Duo 1.8Ghz...bought it about a year and a half ago. it's great laptop nonetheless.
EDIT: when i installed Vista on mine, i got the drivers from the Vaio site, but i still can't find the hotkeys drivers that's used to adjust the volume, brightness...and all the other hotkey commands.
any idea what the file is called?
decon said:How come it's still running vista then
he's waiting for Service Pack 1

bad-joey said:Halo 3 are leftovers from Sept.
Finally picked up Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops (cheap). Got Zelda (rebought), Blue Dragon and Warhawk. The wireless headset for 360 is pretty good, good sound and no interference.
Pre-ordered Ratchet & Clank and Assassins Creed. Also renewed Xbox Live for a year
What exactly is the Assassins Creed box? Wondering since it seems PAL but my local game shop doesn't offer any kind of pre-order kit / special edition yet.

Fuck that, the iPod Touch owns. I won a Zune in the mail and sold it for funds for an iPod Touch.
Like, litrerally 30 people from my school have come up to me and said this exact quote: "Is that an iPhone?"
Sad, actually.

Preaching to the choir. I'm planning on picking up a Touch soon. Although I was disappointed to read that the DAC in the Touch isn't as good as the in the Classic/Nano. Also I'm hoping to see more of the iPhone apps (like email) added to the Touch. Also, the past month since my last 'pick-up post' has been on the pricey side. I've been trying to exercise some restraint (sorry Eye of Judgment).
Couple things finally showed up today...
Final Fantasy XI: Online "Vana'diel Clock" by Hori:
Again by Hori, 4 (of the 5) Eternal Sonata faceplates:
The clock is a neat little collectable (which makes it a shame that my box is kind of mushed...), but outside of that? It's kind of useless -- the display is way, way too dim to be a practical alarm replacement, and the sound quality is quite awful -- which is about what I expected after hearing people talk about it. Definitely not anywhere near being worth the original MSRP, which is ok, as it was on clearance so I got it all nice and cheap.
The faceplates, on the other hand, are amazingly well done. Very, very nice in person, and worth every penny (weren't too much, as I waited until the Ebay prices bottomed out). I essentially have the whole collection of 'em now, as well, as I'll be getting the last one (Allegretto) courtesy of kiryogi.

I just picked up 28 Weeks Later on Blu-Ray. I almost bought "Days" also until I remembered that 90% of the movie was shot on PAL video and would look like warmed-over ass in HD. The 35mm sequences apparently aren't too great either apparently.

That's not huge, it's MEGA.
