@stevenf Smart man. #
Wow, Nintendo.com got a new web 2.0 upgrade. #
@adamengst Flock, give it a try. Fixes most of Firefox’s issues and has some nice features. #

@sanbeiji I dropped Firefox awhile back as well. May I suggest Flock? http://www.flock.com/ #
Still pursuing DRM issues with Microsoft. I’ll also throw out that MS is deleting my posts regarding these issues. Classic cover up. #
Snowing outside. Can I get a woohoo?! #

How about this XBL horror story: http://tinyurl.com/32vp4g #
Quite comical now. I attempted to call my support rep, Jerry, yet was on hold for over 1 hour with no human on the end of the line. #
Now I’m waiting to speak with him but I’ve called MSN instead and of course they can’t transfer me to him. #
I’m going to miss all my Xbox Live friends. It was a fun ride while it lasted. I’ll miss my $700 in XBLA games as well. Quite a shame. #
Posted my Xbox 360 system to Craigslist. I think I’m going to be sick. #

Did some Black Friday shopping on Amazon. 3 Sixaxis PS3 controllers for 19.99 each. #
@stocdred Just picked up Eye of Judgement. Time to rock! #
Well, Microsoft just screwed me so it’s time to hit the media with this bullshit. MS I hold my middle finger up at you. #
@trixie360 and @majornelson is this seriously how Microsoft wants to treat their loyal customers? #
Another sad tale of XBL Support: http://forums.xbox.com/16906577/ShowPost.aspx #

Bought a PS3. Yup, I needed some short term relief from this Microsoft DRM mess… which btw… #
Microsoft, I’m not the only one with the exact same issue as documented here: http://tinyurl.com/32vp4g #
@Owlboy I picked up Ratchet for now. Will also be downloading some of their online games. At least their DRM policies don’t SUCK. #
@Owlboy Yeah, I figure the PS3 will get better. Most games are cross platform so it’s not a big deal. #
Setting up my PS3. Downloading the latest firmware. #
@Owlboy Yeah, lot’s of PS3 updates which is nice. It did take about 20 minutes but it was worth it #
@stocdred I’ll be sending you a PSN "friend" request… do these even exist? Such a PS3 noob I am… #

The PSP online store is now open for business. Nice to see it has very consumer friendly DRM restrictions as well. #
I watched some people play Rock Band the other day. I wasn’t impressed with the "thud, thud, thud" sounds from the drums. No buy for me. #
Perhaps this can explain Microsoft’s lackluster Xbox Live support: http://tinyurl.com/yq6add #
Very disheartening to continue to read the horror stories about consumer DRM issues related to the Xbox 360. #
Wow. Now I’m being told I can’t get a relicense of my DRM because I switched SKUs. Uh, the Core SKU is DEAD and in Oct. no longer sold. #
@teddow Glad you got it, sorry about the delay. I’d love to play sometime. Very angry with Microsoft at the moment however. #
Taking a shower to hopefully re-think my urge to run out and a buy a PS3. #
