That Transformers trailer was quite nice.

On the Folding@Home front QJ had this news to report;

Looks like PS3 is dead.

Sony got the Horse out of the barn. Now they are going to start training the beast.

You will still have backward compatability dude. The PS3 is strong enough to do it all in software rather than with the old PS2 chip.

And frankly I wish they droped the 20G model from the US too. I couldn't find one when I had the money. I ended up spending anouther $50 just for an ethernet cable long enough to reach my wi-fi router. (It's plugged into the back.)

I imagine the price difference has something to do with average exchange rates. (That's a wild guess though.)

The truth is Sony craps on all of us equally.

You really should consider not watching the show anymore.

Anyone pick up flOw? I actually like it. The SixAxis control works well for once.

Read my post a few spot up.

It's very addictive. I just wish I had an HDMI swithcer and some extra cables.

flOw is a really nice game. It's very hypnotic.

Weren't the oliphant drivers supposed to be "Middle Earth" equivalents of black people? As for other minority races being in Tolkien's works, don't look too hard for them because the battle for Middle Earth is being waged by the "fair" people of the west, as they try to repel the "dark" forces from the East, if you get my drift...

The name Haradrim is very derivitive of Harad. A popular name in the Historical Palastinian territories. There are black people referenced in the books. And the Easterlings are your Asiatic people.

And they hold those rights for Macross too. Didn't stop Yamato Valks from getting out.

The rights are for anywhere OUTSIDE of Japan.

I think.

I have all the Macross artbooks so just PM or email me for info. Also there are some quality bootlegs of Macross Perfect Memory that wouldn't be a sin to tear up for scanning.

Just an FYI, 1/2500th scale is another VERY popular scale. It would make the SDF-1 only 19" though.

I have a contact at a major retail outlet that will call me when they come in. (Not supposed to do that, but I have been shopping at that store during my lunch breaks for 9 years and have earned some loyalty from a long term employee there. Here's to hoping for tomorrow.)

The ONLY reagion free thing was that the first batch of PS2's in Japan were reagion 0 DVD players. Sony fixed this "oversight" immediately.

That one won't do Deathblossom in the kit.

Not everything they sell is a recast. You might call to find out if it's from them or under license. But otherwise I agree.

Anyone who buys something has the right to resell it. Unless it's CD's tapes or DVD's. (Techincally that is.) The complaining about people doing what they have the right to do is sad.

The worst thing Sony could have done is announce another postponement of the PS3. The problems with violence and poffiteering is not the fault of Sony. It's the fault of the obsessive gaming cuture. The gaming culture is almost as bad as the Gangsta culture.

If what I read is true I'll be running my HD TS files of Battlestar Galactica from DVD to my TV.

I may try the Linux install too.

is allmost december , any news??

I'll make the phone call next week and see what's up.

Nothing compares to the FM Falcon except maybe th 32 Master Replicas Falcon that goes for $2500. If you wan't to make the OLD MPC Falcon (The Falcon model you mention is actually from the '70's and the cutaway was a modification of the same kit.) to look good you will have to fork out $100 for the resin detail upgrades.

I'm really ticked off that most of the PS3s being sold are going on some auction site so people can rip people off.

You know what they say...You can't rip the willing.

I would be ALL over the SDF-1. I prefer the TV version myself but the movie one is good too.

Ahem! Initial battle scene anyone!

Yes it started that way. But it never went back to cruiser in the film. Or ever if you look at the continuity from the movie to the other series.

I doubt it. The last few releases by imai had all three heads in one box.

No Glaug, just a Regult so far.

There are resin recasts of this kit on Hobbyfan.com and E2046.com.
