Indeed. If you had waited a month you could probably get that CE for half price in the UK.
No not really Fable 2 CE was gone in a hart beat!
And the MSRP for the CE of F3 was 90 euro so I got a great deal.

iWork for $49 after purchase of a new MacBook Pro. I already have Mac Office 2008. Keep?

It depends on your outlook on the "Mac experience" and user interface. iWork has it, Office does not. As far as basic end-user functionality goes, they are on par. If you already own Office, then iWork is superfluous. If someone has no Office suite, then I would recommend iWork hands down.

I use Pages and Numbers daily.

I hope I don't come off as a 'salesman' of sorts. I only post/recommend products that I really believe in. It would suck to have my name associated with shit. lol.

lol no not at all, i just was making a pun.

I own 4 madcatz joysticks, a madcatz fight pad, and now the Madcatz Rock Band 3 Keyboard.

Pretty sure that was preorder only.!
Pre-ordered nine months in advance.

I've heard the gameplay is a struggle and lasts 18 years or more. Gameplay may also make your hair fall out from stress.

Should I be considering Vanquish? Lots of pick-ups in this thread. FWIW, I own all the Platinum games but have not played much more than a few hours on each. PS3 or 360?

Not much difference between the two versions but I think the PS3 one edges out a bit.

I'll pick it up. The demo was not doing much for me but I'm still game for it.

Tonight I picked up a few classic games on VC:

marksman, how's the hori lcd screen for the ps3?

It is AWESOME. I wish I had the Japanese one (Sony licensed), it has a PS logo on the top instead of the Hori one, lol.

I got tired of trying to win it on Ebay for cheap, had a $15 Best Buy Gift Card, so I went and picked it up.

Also the FlingSmash bundle were on the shelves at Best Buy, but the standalone new Wii Motes w/ Motion Plus built in weren't, odd.
 
I just noticed no one checked the mail today so I just went out to the box and this came:

Nintendo wasted money and packaging on shipping. The other fan came yesterday lol.

what happened? i just went to their webstore...

The top guys in charge of the company both got married, decided they wanted to move on to another phase in their lives. Triumvir's still putting out the Street Fighter Alpha collaboration but I believe that's their final product.

ah, gotcha
well, wish them the best with their future endeavors
 
No photos, but just picked up a brand spanking new Dell laptop (*cough* Alienware). Ridicule me all you want, paying for the name, etc, but I got it for $300 off as an open box, so paid $1500 for it. Expensive, but I figure it wasnt too much of a premium. Beat the hell out of the comparable ASUS they were offering for $1800. Radeon 5850, i7 720 processor clocked at 1.6, 4GB ram, etc. A suitable replacement for my desktop, to say the least. Gonna be moving around quite a bit for the next couple years (new job, gonna be changing homes every 4 months or so for the next little while) so taking the desktop with me was not a terribly enticing idea. Figured I would just get a heavy duty laptop to cover my ass instead. Gonna be spending the next couple days transferring everything over from the desktop to the laptop, but right now I'm very happy with my purchase. The battery life will probably be shit, but I plan on using it as a desktop replacement and not a laptop, so it doesnt worry me too much.

Also, Fallout: New Vegas (which is fantastic, by the way), and, most importantly, a new job! First job out of university, so I am pretty excited. Start on the 8th, can't wait to see how things go.

You might be opening it the wrong way. When open, the wide side of the slats should be pointed at you, not the narrow side.

Yeah be careful, grab from the top and pull it sideways gently. Don't force it or you'll break it. I made the mistake of doing that with the humongous fan I bought at the Japan festival and ended up breaking it.

Now to go get tangled in some epic yarn.

Ahh, reminds me of the day I became an uncle...

"HEY! STOP PRESSING THE SCREEN! YOU'RE MESSING UP MY GAME/WORDS! OohH!"
Now she interacts with Dora, Ni Hao, and every other edutainment program. Kinda worth it. :)

New Macbook Air. 13.3" with 4gb Ram and a 128 gb storage. Very impressed so far.

YESSS!!! I'm planning to buy one next month myself! I can't wait. And it's funny too, I was talking to my wife about how I wished that they had a smaller mac laptop then boom!

@Mattlikewhoa Yeah I had been wanting a smaller mac laptop too. The new Air's performance has been really surprisingly good.

Lucky! I never heard of them until Paramore's Honda Civic Tour when they were opening. They put up an awesome performance and looking forward to that DVD

Picked this up. We're going to watch part one with the nieces tonight. I wonder how they'll like it.

And to stay in the theme of the POWER OF LOVE, my ultimate pickup:

A few Funimation titles have Region A and B on them, so it really depends. My copy of FMP! and Fumoffu are AB and TSR is just A.
