I think I'll be getting the new video ipod, though I'm waiting for a decent review of Sony's new mp3 walkman which has 35 hour battery life. Any suggestions guys?

I plan on getting a video Ipod.
If not, a Gameboy Micro.

I'm going to be getting some CD's, Warriors action figures, some assorted stuffed toys, and cash. I might also ask for an iPod Shuffle to replace the iPod that I got rid of or some Homestar Runner merchandise. Probably the latter.

Dunno.

But i guess its better to know what your getting then to be totally oblivious to it right?

I would love a Xbox 360, despite the gossip about the constant freezing, overheating, and what not.

Hey, random but, did any of you hear about the idiot who smashed a 360?
Waited 7 hours, spent $400 (Obviously), bought a sledge hammer, and then went out side and told everyone around him to wait, and smashed it to pieces.
One of the guys asked him why he did it and his response was "Why not?"
Pretty stupid eh?

Same thing happened with a Ipod.
A bunch of dudes did it inside an Apple store and got kicked out.

And how they got the money... Donations...

Well, I don't know about you guys but I don't find out what I'm getting untril Christmas day

These things are on my wishlist though:

An mp3 player
An amplifier for my guitar
A digital camera

Those are the only important things, then I might also add some CD's to the mix.

I actually found the site for it today (was posted on cnet.co.uk). The video was quite amusing as people queued up all night to get one and these guys came out of the shop and smashed it up with a sledgehammer in front of them. Amusing.

Anyone heard much about the new Sony Walkman mp3?

I've got an i-pod, but I'm not sure if its as good as everyone says it is. The Sony gives the i-pod's looks a run for it's money!

I'm looking closely at this as it is one of the most sexy mp3 players out there and just about everyone says it looks better than the ipod. Unfortunately, every single review I have read says the mp3 player is excellent with hardly any fault, but the software is so bad it is beyond belief. Everyone has had trouble getting music from their computer to the player. I think I might be going down the ipod route as a result. I have to decide soon!
