I remember that scene, but I'm pretty sure it was a Phil Collins song in the back ground.

And the year of the set-top box argument with D/L content had me chuckling too...

One feature that I missed from Monday's Xbox 360 announcement:

• <font size="2" face="Arial, Veranda">The ability to copy games to your hard drive so that the loading times will be faster and the disc will not make any noise when spinning, however the disc must remain in the drive to verify that you own the game</font></li>

Sony really must be run by a bunch of idiots... It's being conjectured that come September the new 80GB PS3 will be the only one on the market and it will not have any backwards compatibility to the PS2.
 
 So they went from having a PS3 model with PS2 HW built in for compatibility, to a PS3 model with PS2 compatibility provided via software emulation which doesn't support all the titles on the market.  And after this they expect PS2 owners to still upgrade... I'm willing to bet the  value of a used first generation PS3 just went up.  
 
 They really ought to just call it a DVDstation and be done with it...

Wii Fit tells 10 year old she's fat
 
 ...The stepfather of the girl, who didn't want to be named for her sake, said, "She is a perfectly healthy, 4-feet-9-inch-tall 10-year-old who swims, dances, and weighs only six stone. She is solidly built but not fat. She was devastated to be called fat and we had to work hard to convince her she isn't."
 
 ------
 
 The proper answer is she's not fat, BMI just doesn't take into acount that awkward 6X size in little girls, which I thought was just an American thing.

lol no. i'm almost there though. i rated a lot better than i expected - i was fully expecting it to call me a fatty.
 
 my wii fit age is 22 too, which also surprised me.
