Fully digital won't be a possibility until everyone in Sony's demographic has broadband with 10m/bit second and most people have 100+m/bit second. And they can convince people that there is no possible extra to lend it to your freinds or resale it- or even play the game on a new console instantly. I certainly couldn't be bothered to copy a 4gb file over 54/100 m/bit wireless, when my regressive freinds change a disk over in 3 seconds flat.

I know what you mean about drinks places asking for your name. I refuse to ever go to Boost Juice because of it. Why the fuck do they need to now my name? Just give me a number or heaven forbid, just remember who ordered what. But it's all in the name of creating a fun and friendly atmosphere for the big company. "Your coffee is ready Joe!" "oh thanks stranger"

Can't say Starbucks here do that. I wish they would though, would give me a chance to open a conversation with Bethan who works at my local Starbucks.

Bethan: Can I have your name please?
Chris: Only if I can have your number.

So what does that make people who play violent video games now...
Violent,
Better hand eye coordination,
Can block out distractions better
and Paranoid.
I'm paranoid myself, but it has nothing to do with video games. It's because I have to go past places where drug dealers hang out
I wonder what's next.

Well, people who take drugs (presumably said dealers) will be paranoid themselves from excessive drug taking.
Speaking of paranoid - just give the people at those Boost places a flase name. Like Harry, or Potplant or Creme Egg - you get the idea.

Paranoid much???
Brilliant...
Can't wait to catch your next installment. You continue to be an entertaining read that I now look forward to as much as an updated release list.

Want the UMD version, the one you can only watch on your PSP, the version without the extras? That will be $39.95 thank you very much. A $10 hit for an inferior product. Even priced at $29.95, the UMD version’s a tough sell, but at a ten dollar premium.
If the UMD movies were around the $10 mark, then Sony might deserve to let the UMD video format survive.

Okay, while the relevance might not be as obvious as the actual subjects within the editions of this article, I must say I think I enjoy them because I can relate to the Canberran aspects. But anyway, how long has the Starbucks been at Manuka for? (I hardly go out that way)
Top edition once again though, Jeremy.

give your name as quetzalcoatlus, and insist they spell it right, when they mispronounce it, ignore them until you get a "Hey, You!" and claim you assumed there was someone else they were talking to.
only if you're really bored and have time to kill though.
