@JGab: If you are going to go HDTV, I think it's worth waiting until you can save up enough to get a decent size and brand. TVs last a long time so it's worth getting something that you'll be pleased with for years.

@dwhita16: Once they eventually win that, they'll have equal rights. Maybe then they'll stop -reminding- everyone that they're slightly different.

@CuttySark: You definitely missed out, much like I did with the PS1/PS2.

@Black Knight Rebel: I think more and more young kids will start getting fancy phones, but I see your point that there will still be a market for non-phones.

My predictions:

@GamingTheory: I highly doubt Apple will come out with a dedicated console. However, I think it's likely that they will add gaming functionality to their existing Apple TV and all the games would be downloaded from the App store.

@spline9: I have a 2009 sport and I'm happy with it. It's got a ton of space for its small size. I like how it drives and having all those cup holders.

@masterdingo: You're right that I don't have a sense of humor when it comes to kids who spend their childhoods in hospitals or when it comes to giving videogames the same protections of free speech as other media.

@Goes_around_the_world: I didn't mean to knock those that didn't spent a lot of money. You are right that everything counts. I was reacting to the implication that working the system somehow makes you a savvy consumer. I don't care what people think about mac users, but I think that's really disrespectful to those…

@SuicidalEarthworm: I'll have to look into the router settings. Hopefully I can make the ethernet connection faster.

@TheMetroidMan: It's always been slow, but I attributed it to crappy wifi. I was expecting the ethernet connection to be much faster.

@Ethan Kerr: It's the 120GB slim.

@masterdingo: It has nothing to do with what machine I use. If you think Macs are a waste of money, then more power to you. However, if you think that those people who managed to rip-off sick kids are somehow smarter or superior, then you are a jerk.

@Tevious: That makes sense I guess. I think it would be a pretty bad idea for them to shut it down though, unless there was a direct sequel to replace it. It would be a pretty terrible way to treat all the die-hard fans they've accumulated.

I'm having a weird issue with my PS3. The internet connection speed is ridiculously slow, which is weird for two reasons:

My Honda Fit shows real-time and average mpg. I don't pay much attention to it for city driving, but on long trips I will tweak my driving to try to maximize efficiency. 43 mpg is my best.

Cool artwork. It would be great to have that on a t-shirt with proceeds going to the charities.

@maddog050: How about understanding quality of life for sick kids?

@breathe_unison: They're still shutting it down?

Does anyone know exactly what the differences are between using this vs a regular bluetooth with the PS3?
