"i'm gonna have to drop out of school"
said walter tonight...
i'm all geeked out! i've got my new PS3, E3 coverage is on G4 AAANNNNND they're talking about Halo 3! i've got so many games to play this september and october i'm gonna have to drop out of school!
since the price dropped $100 on the PS3 yesterday i knew the days were numbered before we had one. when walter sent me a link for a Blu-Ray special for 5 FREE Blu-Ray movies with purchase i could read his mind. they aren't the best titles but considering they're 30 bucks a pop i'm not complaining! ;o) so when i stopped at target for groceries tonight after my workout, i teased him and asked if he needed anything like a PS3, YUP! after i wandered the store picking up random items we needed (tortillas, face wash, coffee, conditioner, tank top (not on the list), and avocados), i headed to the electronics department and asked for a PS3, Resistance and then picked up Ghost Rider on Blu-Ray as our first movie. 4 dudes were standing there with their mouths dropped open.... esp. since i had my shiny iPhone in my hand as well. ;o)
OooOOooo i haven't posted about that yet! i absolutely love it! i sat in line for 6 hours in front of the apple store on june 29 to get my hands on the beautiful iphone. then we left on vacation the next morning; i surfed the internet the entire week on at&t's recently (day before release) beefed up EDGE network and took advantage of people's wifi when i could. i had no trouble while walter read OXM and i watched youtube videos and emailed camping in the woods. so nice! the Mac OS is seamless between my computers and the phone. everything is integrated perfectly. by far this is the BEST first release ever. my address book, ical and music sync'd perfectly through itunes. i've got my 1/2 marathon training schedule from iCal on the phone so i won't forget how many miles i'm supposed to run that day. the 2mp camera takes beautiful clear pictures esp. compared to my RAZR camera. the images look amazing on the brilliant screen as well as imported into iPhoto. i agree that there should be some sort of zoom capability but you can zoom and crop once the photo is taken. 2 complaints- is the ringer doesn't get loud enough, but i have that complaint with every phone.... i have a hard time hearing "marimba" when i'm in the kitchen and my phone is in the livingroom and forget it if it's in my handbag. my second complaint is that the visual voicemail the caller's voice sounds very digital. it still sounds like them but kinda robotic. actually now that i think about it... that's cool too!

the ps3 is awfully purty isn't it? Be careful keeping them side by side though. i read about one guy who fried his 360 because they were both on at the same time. The PS3 helped overheat the 360.
We bought Big Fish on Blu-Ray and you couldn't really tell a difference between it and a regular dvd. Apparently, some of the re-releases aren't getting upgraded properly. And the BR didn't even have the bonus features that were on my DVD...i felt ripped off.
I played with Aric's iPhone. It is pretty sweet looking! But then i dropped my phone again and was reminded why i can't have one.
why would they be on at the same time? but i heard about that too....
ghost rider is beautiful on blu-ray. i figured there wouldn't be much of a difference from upconverting, but o my the colors are bright, the edges are sharp and the picture is crisp! you can actually see the texture on johnny blaze's leather jacket. stunning!
we watched both pirates on BR and wow...the picture quality is amazing!
I don't know what the difference is between HD and BR, but they're both far superior than just a plain ol' dvd. unless, of course, you've got a poorly upconverted movie.
iiiiiiphoooone! *drool*
oops, i was daydreaming again. :P
