This isn't supposed to be a Neal Stephenson thread...
but of course read Cryptonomicon before Baroque because of the cute family connections.
Not to mention Crypto is better than any individual Baroque book, I THINK. Items like Randy driving behind the pig truck, Lawrence dealing with "German spies", all the "hackers" toting guns outside of the Tombstone's office.
That book was sooooo great.
And of course I the main character from Zodiac, even though he was supposed to be a dick.
yeah I got the GC one because it is a great game, and I want to finish it before the Wii one comes out.
Haha, yeah I explained backwards compatability to the Target lady. She said it was, "a good idea"
Yep.
Well.
I don't know what Target store policy is...
But when I went and gave my name, she dipped into the back and came back with a WIII!!!
So with that, I am the proud owner of a Nintendo Wii, Paper Mario, and Zelda.
I also got a memory card and some batteries and a new router.
Well, that's putting the cart before the horse, isn't it?
Anyone buying an American PS3 is getting a PS2 as well.
Of course, it's true that the European and *especially* the Aus models cost waaaaaaaaaaaay more, relatively, and actually.
So like, either get one now with BC, or two years for a price drop and get one with spotty BC.
This is largely moot, though, because I'm practically sure everyone who is gonna get a PS3 already has a PS2.
