- Scott : Thanks for the chart and the info. I saw something on Sony's site that let you plug in the games name and it would tell if it would play or not or if it would play with limitations. Supposedly all the kids games will play but, with all the "good" reports on the wii I think we are going with that.
- Bryan : «link» this chart is your friend,makesurey oupick the right model carefully...
- Bryan : Scott, only the original 20gb and 60gb PS3 models that launched have the Emotion Engine in them and are 100% backwards compatible with PSX and PS2 games. The 40gb, 80gb, and new 60gb won't play many of your earlier games. Sony killed the EE to cut down on the retail price.
- Scott : Chris as far as the turn around time it was about a month.
- Scott : Thanks fo rall the input. I didn't want to go strictly by the respective sites forums...I was thinking about the PS3 mainly because of teh blue ray player and it will play the PS1 and PS2 games. I woudln't have to add another game to my switch...
- Paul C. : oops. Only reason I would buy a PS3 would be for the cheap blueray player...or to pay Gran Tourismo
- Paul C. : Only reason
- Paul C. : i haven't had any problems with my wii...or my mother in laws, brother in laws, or friends. the other way to look at it - maybe more people use their wiis so they experience more things
an unused console won't have any problems! - Bryan : The Wii will often freeze during firmware updates if you have a weak wireless connection. It's happened to me before. Other than that, I haven't had any problems with my Wii, either. It's good for younger kids and "causal" gamers, or people that do a lot of social things. The 360 is better for older kids and hardcore fps and rpg fans.
- Robin : Chris: I totally agree with you on the eggs, cheese, bacon and bread..I would add some homemade strawberry jelly or mayonnaise and then be set for life except for the cholesterol concerns.
- Chris : Hmm...I haven't had either of those problems for what it's worth. Did the things you read say anything about how quick and easy it was to get the problem solved?
- Scott : I think freezing up was the biggest and not booting up was the other. It's been a week so I don't remember the problems exactly, just that the wii had more/newer complaints than the other two systems
- Chris : Jez: Eggs, cheese, bacon and bread and I'm set for life...
- Chris : Scott: I haven't had any problems with my Wii. Love it, so much fun in a group setting. Haven't heard of any probs...wonder what trouble they are having
- Jez : Oh, and eggs are fantastic. Eggs and potatoes are two of the greatest foods ever!! They can be used in so many ways!
- Jez : I have both a Wii and 360. Really like both of them. The Wii has more games for kids and casual gamers. It also has more party style games. For a serious fps or rpg type gamer, I'd say 360.
- Scott : On another note...any one have a wii and if so any troubles with it? Might get one ofr the kids for Christmas, but what I've read on Nintendo's site compared to what I've read on Sony's site for teh PS3 and Microsoft's site for the 360 I'm not sure I want one...
- Scott : Yes sorry haven't checked the site in a few days...Paintball on 11/29 at 10am the usual place...I have some scrap wood for more bunkers/bunker repairs too...Hint!
- Chris : Woohoo!
- Jez : See we signed Daniel Orton? Already rated a top 10 recruiting class for next year, and it's still early recruiting!!
- Chris : Scott, any word on that?
- Chris : Yep, last I heard there was a possibility for a game towards the end of November. I'll keep you posted.
- David : Did I hear paintball in the future awhile back?
- Chris : Lol, oops.
- Robin : Where is my rught ear?
- Chris : Ok, got most of 'em fixed, Paul.
- Paul C. : Thanks Chris.
- James : Nice cd. Randomly remember a friend a few years ago pulled that one out on a road trip and said "Have you heard of him?" Moment of zen. All Star still lives in our hearts, if not always in our stereo these days.
- Chris : hmm, I noticed dilbert and getfuzzy haven't shown up the past few days but haven't look into why. I'll see what I can do about it

They ought to make it 50 cents and just let that roll for a 10 or so years… or at least 40 cents

Chris
Grandma and I went to the PO today to get some two cent stamps. Guess what they did not have any and suggested to Grandma to take three cent stamps instead. Well you know grandma. She told her no way that postage was too high already and came out without any.She was going to let the carrier deliver them to us until she found out we lived in Richwood. She should have let us have the three cent stamps for the price of two cent ones. Think we should make something out of this. After all they have known for a long time they were going to raise the rate even though they didn’t need it.

Wow, I can’t believe that they PO didn’t have any 2 cent stamps. You’re right, they have known about it for a while, so the PO should have had everything they needed to handle the transition. Way to stay strong and not get the 3 cent ones. I bet there’s a “honeymoon” period, so maybe the 37 cent stamps are still good…
