Bad Taste

Or for that extra step, you could get it chromed...

This car actually drives around my area, but I'm not 100% on it. Also, I think it's actually a vinyl wrap, but a good concept, I guess if you get bored of the colour, just get it wrapped in another colour. :D

Money doesn't always equate to good taste. Poor Audi.
 
I purchased a black Sony eReader for when I'm away from home from Best Buy, similar to the one pictured below. Good thing about it, is that I can also borrow books from the library on it too (can't on the Kindle), good for when I'm feeling too cheap to buy books from the Sony eReader store.

Never been a big fan of these (as I don't read much), but I gotta admit, I absolutely LOVE that feature.

Also, I bought this today...

Tomorrow I'm going to have a fun time getting my butt handed to me. Can't wait.

That's the new small one right? How is it?
 
Since purchasing my iPad I have started to consume lots more digital content.

Zinio has helped me get so many magazines that you guys in America have but cost so much when there imported into Australia.

This magazine I pay 15 bucks australian for at my local news store.

a$6.50 for 4 episodes at Zinio

Awesome.

That is awesome! Did you buy it online?

Yes! I only recently discovered rei-outlet.com and already got the backpack, sleeping bag and a couple pairs of convertible pants. I haven't had a chance to try out the pack yet but the sleeping bag is unbelievable nice, and was like sixty bucks off retail.

Yeah, it's the Pocket Edition. $179 at Best Buy. ($172.80 US as of today). I find it very easy to read with its paper like display similar to the Kindle. Only down side I came across is that a lot of the new release or best selling books in the Sony eBook store are only available in the US and the Canadian selection is a little bit poor. But, I still like it. Downloading books was very quick and easy, and reading them is just like reading a regular paper back book. I recommend it if you're in the market for an eReader.

Launch 60GB died for the 3rd time so I fixed it (previous two times it was under warranty) but still bought a Slim. Amazing deal on the Slim so I could not pass it up. 60GB will get Blu-Ray duty only.

It is still technically the best and cheapest BluRay player available. (Cheapest in regards to what you can actually do with it, such as live updates, which in my opinion is invaluable.)

What do you think of the Intel SSD?
Click to expand...

I like the Intel, I had one in the past and sold it with my previous MBP. I boulgh this one a week ago but found the OCZ to be a better bang for my buck. No complaints though on on the Intel. Both have treated me very well.
 
IMO the PS3 Slim is the best console investment. I love mine, and I'm very happy I got it over a 360 (not that the 360 is bad) I just love the PS3's controller way more. I feel like the PS3 is more of an "Adult" gaming console then the "Teenager" 360 lol

Oh come on, don't even start with that. I have both a 360 and PS3, so I'm by no means a fanboy, but I feel the 360 is more a GAME console and the PS3 is more a media console. They both have their ups and downs with exclusives, but it's been a common occurrence that when a title does release on both consoles, it's either later on the PS3 or comes with a bunch of bugs and glitches.

So I'll take my QUALITY games with the teenager any day of the week.
