Why are they touting their purchase of Sybari? Linux has no need for a virusscan program and that is one of the biggest reasons it has better security.
I'm not surprised they pushed it back because they're in short supply. Sony had this issue with the PSX and the PS2, so it's nothing new.
There are always two things you can count on with a new Sony game console release: 1) It will be in short supply 2) It will have one or more serious flaws.
I've known my girlfriend for about 6 years now and we have been together for a little over 1 1/2. We are both avid gamers (me a little more then her). We both enjoy playing multiplayer games with each other like Mario Kart, Wario Ware, Dead or Alive 2 and other console games, but we don't mind watching the other play Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy XI. The important thing is that it is a hobby that we share and enjoy and we treat it like one. It is not the only thing we do; we go out, watch movies, get dinner, etc.
The best thing any of these "gaming widows" can do if they are in another relationship with a gamer, is just to get involved. Whether it is just being interested, watching and talking to them about it or picking up a controller and joining in.
I know it is easy to get pissed off at Best Buy (believe me I know) but get pissed at the managers, GMs and corporate, not the lowely workers.
I work in the front lines and we have trackers (little scorecards) on how many magazines and PRPs/PSPs we have sold. The managers are always on us about how many magazines (Entertainment Weekly and Sports Illustrated Trials) and PRPs/PSPs we have sold because we get rated within the company for them.
When someone comes up with an item that has a PRP, I tell them straight if it is worth it or not. Take it from me DO NOT get a PSP unless your REALLY need it and the magazines are just an automatic renewal scam. The employees at service centers are idiots and rarely fix things right (if at all). The PRPs are actually a good value (on more valuable items, not a $20 phone) because we just give you a new one.
So whenever you come to Best Buy do not take your anger out on the people working the registers, we are forced to ask the many questions we ask and offer what we offer because it is our job and that is what Best Buy makes us do.

M$ bought Bungie to make a decent game for their system. What movie studio, director and cast are they going to buy for the HALO movie?

Now they're going to start using real animals again because they have a replacement on hand.

Planetside and SWG were "paid betas" for a little more than a year.
Best Buy sold them and MediaPlay a long time ago (98) when Napster got big because they were losing profit in those stores.

That is really interesting, I work at Best buy and we do not match prices at websites.
I work for a retailer and the 90 day warranty is actually pretty sneaky. It is 90 days from the day it was manufactured, not sold.
