Happpeeee!!!

Aye. I worked all over last Summer (11 weeks for me) just to get it.

Holy cow, you worked a whole 11 weeks!!

That's ineffable, Lenny.

To say I've never had a paying job in my life, I thought it was pretty good.

Thats pretty good not having a job then going right into something like that I think. Its hard to judge and get used to it I guess more so for some than others. Idk I'm on my second actually part time job now, getting like 35 hours a week little more than I'd like but it'll let me get out of college without having debt so it suits its purpose.

35 to 40 hours is full time.

Guess it could be, I don't see full time as anything under 40 though. Could be just how once I get a full time job, it will be for 40 hours a week or more.

More than 40 hours is overtime. Seriously, if you're consistantly working more than 35 hours a week and they aren't offering you, for example, medical benefits, you might be able to sue them.

Nope, they're offered I'd just have to pay a minium for them. However, I'm covered under my dad's policy which is free for me until I graduate. Also I looked at my last check, it was like 63 hours. So I'm still under the 35 a week, just seems like I'm there.

Pre-orders from Amazon start at 9am on Thursday.

And the first 500,000 people in Europe to register with the PS network after the European launch get a free Casino Royal Blu-Ray film.

Just thought I'd say that I got my TV today!

And Jaysus, it ain't 'alf big!!

what TV you get? I recently got a 32" LCD HDTV for my room so I have my PC, 360 & PS3 hooked up to it.

Love watching porn games in it

32", LCD HDTV.

It's a Samsung, and is 720p.

I'm looking around for a cable to hook it up to my PC, and I can't wait until I get the PS3 and am able to hook that up.

14 days!!!

Nice, I saw a 55" LCD 720p Sony TV for $1350 yesterday online. I was so tempted to buy it because the price was too good to be true. I didn't.

Man alive... that's a great price! Especially for something so big!

How come you didn't buy it?

And in other news... I'm using my TV for a monitor right now.

Well, firstly, I'm heading back down to Florida for work for a few months, so I have no need for it right now. When I get back though, I will probably look into it again. I need to start saving money again and stop spending it like I'm going to die tomorrow.

: dies :

DOH!

Lenny my best friend has that TV, it is beautiful!! I have taken my PS3 & 360 over to his house before and the picture quality is amazing, specially if you calibrate it.

Mine is a budget set, cost me $550 its an Olevia 332h 32" but it performs very well for the price and has all the inputs I need, I wanted to get the 32" samsung but it was $999. (one major downside to the sammy is that the VGA port audio is a 3.5mm instead of L/R White, Red so we had to get a RCA to headphone adaptor to be able to hear the sound through the TV for the 360 with the VGA cable, this isnt a problem if you have an audio receiver though)

I will post a picture once I can hijack some1s digi cam.

I don't know if I'll end up using the VGA audio.

If I do connect speakers up to it, then it'll be my 5.1 surround sound - 3 jacks.

And yes, it really is beautiful. I'd imagine it compliments the PS3 to no end.

yeah, the shiny black look is gorgeous.

here are some pics i took today with my phone(shitty quality pix)

Haha! You've set it up aa:

360 vs. PS3
GoW vs R:FoM.

Lovely.

I have to say that the PS3 is by far the more beautiful machine.

Also, is it just the way the boxes are stood, or is the R:FoM box smaller than GoW?

ya, ps3 game cases are smaller than the regular DVD cases, why? who knows...
