Don't buy SONY products anymore. In a capitalistic society this is the best way to punish companies who have dissapointed/ violated consumers.
Ultimatley we have MORE power than the big corporations and the big lawyers, because we outnumber them.
If we stand together and SONY loses a portion of their market share, then you can be assured that we will be rewared in the future with better products and lower prices.
I'm really sorry that you never had a healthy relationship for you to pattern your own relationships after.
Hang on a second Dr. Phil... first of all don't start making assumptions. My parents barely ever fought, and my wife's parents barely ever fight either. So please stop playing the psychiatrist.
Secondly your dragging this off topic. My original point is that a lot of non-gamers don't see gaming as a legitimate pastime. Case and point, if my wife wants to go out to a club and dance with her friends I encourage that, but when I want to have an evening at home playing games and having a couple beers (max 2 times week) that's viewed as a "Geeky" thing to do and so a (usually very small, rarely ever big) argument starts
And maybe it is a bit geeky, but the point is; it's not the 80's anymore. Computers are an essential part of life, heck, even my granparents have been using the internet for years.
Gaming is a legitimate pastime, and should be treated as such. Like any pastime it should be partaken in moderation, but when a fight breaks out over minimal play I think that it's because the spouse/ girlfriend etc hasn't accepted gaming and thinks they can stop the gamer from this "Childish/ Nerdy Pastime".
What planet are you living on? Any passionate couple will fight from time to time, the sooner you realize that the better off you'll be. Or are you just the kind of person who does exaclty as you're told without ever standing up for yourself... cause those type of people usually turn into serial killers;)
This is something I know all too well. I married a non-gamer and Halo 2 is the source of 90% of our fights.
I type this message with a dislocated finger (no joke) from punching the wall in frustration after a fight last night.
For some reason, non-gamers just can't seem to grasp the concept that gaming is something we do to RELAX... and it's not relaxing to have someone constantly bothering us about our hobbies.
The year is 2005 and video games are a legitimate pastime, and have been for years =)
Can you imagine Panasonic or Toshiba using that excuse regarding a stereo? No.
Comparing a stereo system to a next-gen console is about the equivilent of comparing a high end television to a portable radio. The level of complexity is so much higher for the next-gen console and so there's more that can go wrong.
But from what I'M hearing around the web, it's not the console at all, just a faulty version of the power brick. Big deal, ship it back to MS and they'll send you a new one. That's the price we pay for being early adopters of next gen systems:)

As if the Hollow Earth Society: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_Earth/ needed any encouragement.
... says the guy who posted on slashdot.
Mixing your "Gaming Personality" with your "Relationship Personality" is not always a good thing.
I think George Costanza put it best when he said...
"WORLDS ARE COLLIDING HERE!!!"
... considering I used to just piss in the empty bottle and give it to my friends =P
Microsoft must have pretty much passed anything through QA or the 360 hardware is just fundementally fucked.
Okaaaaay.
Do you even own a 360? I do, and it's a VERY solid system (it hasn't crashed once)
They've only shipped 600k units because that's all they've been able to make so far. If they'd been able to make more, they'd have sold more.
I'll in programming terms.... max(sales) <= Supply.total
... take an English class.
Maybe they'll teach you what a "Run-On Sentence" is.
And why must every scientific acheivement be used against ID? (I'm not for it or against it by the way)
Can you imagine Wilbur Wright saying "Well Orville, now that we know how to fly, I guess we can tell everyone to stop going to church"
There's a very simple solution to this...

Says the guy with the signature that reads; "Web hosting solution only 8 dollars a month"

That's my 2 cents =)
Normal couples don't fight
;)

Please don't reveal my secret identity ;)
BTW love the signature!! =D
... there won't be any good games for it until then anyways.
"Paleontologists have discovered a HUGE crocodile which..." ...was 12 ft long.
Huh, must be a slow news day. =P
... what happens if Rosie O'Donnell doesn't want to go? =P
Did you just say "British CALIFORNIA"??... :|
I believe British Columbia is the word you're looking for.
And to answer your question, Tekion is located in BC.
You're right, how thoughtless of me.
I guess the only question left is; Will they use a "Rice Rocket"?
They don't even know how to drive a car, and they're going to land on the moon? Good Luck... Hopefully they don't dent up the ISS while en route =P
