Recently the time came to replace my aging gaming rig. It was originally built about 5 years ago and over that 5 years I’d upgraded the bejeezus out of it just to keep the new games running reasonably. Well during my planning for a replacement I’d come to the conclusion that it is no longer cost effective for myself to use the PC for Gaming (mainly for the following reason)

a High end Video Card alone would cost me $400 - $700 and I’d need to upgrade this yet again in 6 months to a year.

This made no sense to me when I can buy a PS3 or an Xbox and a year of Xbox Live for around $500 anyways and I won’t need to upgrade those for the life of the system. To make this long tirade short Gaming on the PC is dead to me it’s just not cost effective anymore.

Well said Aaron but not for the reasons you’ve implied. These words were uttered by Aaron Greenberg from the Xbox team over IM to “Godfree” from Gamertag Radio in regards to a surprise announcement that was going to be made in New York today at the Pac-Man World Championships. (See full quote HERE )

Well today the announcement was made as promised and it certainly may go down in history but not in the positive way Aaron portrayed it but as one of the dumbest PR overstatements ever.

Anyone that has an iPod knows that an unprotected iPod tends to start looking a little weathered quite quickly.
Personally I’ve been through numerous cases for the various versions I’ve owned and none really seemed to work very well in practise.
Going back the first case I bought was a rudimentary rubber skin type that didn’t cover the screen of the iPod and I noticed soon after I started using it that the screen just appeared to be seeing the brunt of the abuse as due to the lack of a belt clip it would end up in my pocket mashing against my keys, change, cellphone, etc.

After dropping that case by the wayside I decided I needed something that protected the screen and had a belt-clip. With this in mind I procured a black leather case that had a sheet of thin plastic covering the screen area. This worked well for a while but over time I noticed small objects that are prone to carrying a static charge seemed to want to gather behind this clear plastic shield.

In a courageous line camping operation smashmyps3.com accomplished their goal of obtaining and gleefully destroying a PS3 in front of a line of horrified SONY hype addicts. I can’t help but think how would it feel to be the first person in the line not to get a PS3 and then see that. I can’t help but think it’s a small piece of payback for sipping the SONY koolaid. Anyways check out the pics and video over at http://www.smashmyps3.com

It’s pure beauty!
