I've always valued the individual games over the systems... so for example, I bought a PS2 pretty much for King's Field and the handful of Resident Evil games I couldn't get anywhere else.

Maybe I'm a sucker that way, but it means that I'll end up probably getting all three - but I will say that I'm currently very turned off by the controller on the Wii - maybe it's not as dumb as it looks to me at the moment.

Anyways, I've played the 360 a few times, and I love it.  I'm getting one on Friday... I picked up Oblivion this week and am going to grab Call of Duty 2 and Madden this weekend.

I wonder if they'll close the stingray petting pool at Sea World now. 

My understanding is that all those rays are de-stingered in some fashion.  There would have been hundreds of incidents there by now if they weren't.

There was a sign saying "Don't Pet their tails" 

It's been awhile since I was there, but I still could have sworn that the last time I was there some guide was telling us about how their stingers (barbs I guess...) had been removed and that they were harmless.

If they all had barbs they'd be getting shot out left and right with all that petting going on.

It's funny because I remember back when it was outrageously high at 1.50, I was wanting it to go back down to 1.00.

Then a few years later when it was at 2.00, I was thinking that I'd be thrilled if it just leveled off at 1.50.

Now that it sat at 3.00 for so long, we're excited about the possibilities of 2.00 gas.


That's how they **** you.  This whole thing is probably just designed to make a ton of money at 3.00 then keep making twice as much money as 8 years ago when it goes 'down' to 2.00 - and we'll be thrilled about it.

I bought the X-Wing, but I'm not touching the rest of these unless they're on clearance - and not the 10% off kind of clearance, more like the 75% off kind of clearance.

I wonder if they'll close the stingray petting pool at Sea World now.

I saw $2.43 yesterday.  Knock off another .75 or 1.00 then leave it that way and  I'll be happy.
