@BuhoLoco40: Christmas presents last year, quite a few double point items on my reward zone card (not Best Buy mastercard btw) like Starcraft 2, etc. My wife and my family also use my Best Buy reward zone account as well so that helped too.

@Hooray4Zoidberg: Thanks. I need to get a good telephoto lens, an extra battery and a better tripod so if you have any preferred lens or tripods, feel free to let me know! ;-)

@Yedman: It was $909 before tax, then I added a $199 4 year warranty (with accidental damage). So $958 before taxes and after my rewards zone cash.

@HashMaster9000: Yeah, I read about the ticket scam on Wikipedia. Really sucks for them, but I am really hoping to go see them live sometime in 2011. I have a trip planned out to California next year to go to Comic Con, see relatives, etc and would be awesome if they had a show around the same time as well.

Just wanted to say thanks to all the Gizmodo commenters who answered my questions regarding DSLR cameras.

@FauxReal: I think, at those specs, it has ceased being a "laptop".

@Kaiser-Machead v.2.2: That is sweet! Never realized there were so many cool decals on Etsy or just available period.

YES! I can still hook my garden hose for unlimited POWER!

Ok, generally not a fan of decals, or Macs for that matter, but that is SWEET!

This is so AWESOME!

Does anybody else not like that curved back of the current generation, and possibly the next generation, of iPad? It was always too slick, IMO, and I would rather it have a flat back like the new iPhone.

@pz: It does stream HD content but whether the content you want to watch is in HD depends on the show/company allowing it to be streamed that way. As far as I know, they have not said whether Battlestar Galactica will be in HD or not.

@McMike: Must have been the last thing Steve Irwin ever saw...

@atrus123: Same here. I use the physical discs for the occasional movie that my wife and I want to watch that isn't available to stream, but for the majority of the time they just sit in front of the TV never being used.

@TonyLukes3: I agree completely with both of you. I would gladly stream all of my content if their entire library was available, even pay a bit more as well.

@MaxPoint: For forks sake people ! How long are we going to hammer on about saws?

@MarcusMaximus: Somebody should clamp down on these sort of posts.

@benjgvps: I saw this pun thread coming a mile away.

I would say "You will be missed" but that would be a lie.

@Rahll: Only if they have a copy in stock, not treat you like shit or go bankrupt first! ;-)
