So I thought I would just take a moment out of my day to acknowledge the passing of three (or four) legends and one guy who could sell you anything, including a lump of coal. Rest in Peace Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson and Billy Mays. I wasn't born when Ed, Michael, and Farrah were in their prime, but I do recognize their contributions. As for Billy, I will miss seeing him on t.v. turning us into zombies while we buy yet another bucket of Oxy-Clean only to realize we haven't finished the last one. If Billy says you need it, you need it!

So I filled out an order form to have my PS3 fixed (finally) and Sony sent me one of those custom shipping boxes that they send to your house. I don't see why Sony wants a signature required for a freakin empty box. I can understand a signature requirement when they send the repaired system back to me but not an empty box. I have class in the morning, and both my mom and sister work in the morning so there was no one to sign for the blasted thing. UPS did the whole try mailing it to your house for three days in a row, and if you don't, have someone to sign for it, you have to come to us. I signed the back of that little slip thingy they tape to your door that authorizes them to leave the package and they didn't (maybe a neighbor removed it, that bastard!). It could also be likely that my mom removed it cause she is crazy, but at any rate now I have do make the 30 min drive to get the box on monday, stick the PS3 in there, leave it at UPS, and go class (starts at 9:45 am) which is about an hour drive after that. UPS opens at 8 am. Boy does this stink. Sorry about complaining, I know I shouldn't but I need to vent.

So after watching all three system conferences I have to admit that Nintendo's conference was not that impressive. I think this year Microsoft stole the show with Project Natal. I don't know, maybe it was just me but I expected more from Nintendo. Sony's conference was descent too though.
