Two awesome pickups. I never got around to snagging a silver wavebird. It was a great controller, but I only ever had gray.

As for me, I'm playing a little catch-up here on some of my more exciting purchases.

New Nikon D90. Got a heck of a deal on it; and since I only ever rent lenses, I figured it would be a good opportunity to upgrade my body - but I'm doing away with my Canon 40D and accessories. Still debating if I want to embrace the 4/3rds stuff, and get an OM-D. It sure would be nice with all my travel. Decisions, decisions. For the time being, though, I'm VERY happy with this guy.

Must be nice to get some good stuff...all PA has are glorified sparklers :(

Minnesota's are lame as well.

We took a drive last night. ;)

Notice the "Open for Business", it almost taunts MN and our archaic laws. Wisconsin was happy to take my money. :rolleyes:

Happy 4th of July! :)

Are those true M-80's in the ziploc? I wish I could find some nowadays, I picked up some M-66's and they are SO not the same. :(

Congrats, looks like a solid show! :cool:

Thank you! Unfortunately, no, those aren't the real deal. They're labeled similarly, but they're a HUGE downgrade from the real thing. I have a buddy that might bring me a bag of 10 or so for a twenty dollar bill tonight. But we'll see...

Lovin the wavebird to play smash bros - the main reason why I picked up a second one.

I am going to get the OM-D though. Waiting for next pay check ;) Have fun with the D90 though. Great camera, and I have always preferred the Nikon vs Canons. I had a D90 for a while and it did a lot of things really well. Enjoy.

With a little one around I'm needing to prep food quicker at night so - Russell Hobbs food processor

And been wanting to do some crispy fried fish and chicken for a while, and as my wife is allergic to gluten you can't get this stuff in the shops so I have to make from scratch. Batter mix sorted now, but cant fry it on the hob well enough so picked up a Breville 3L fryer.

Still struggle with NZ pricing though. Biggest disadvantage to living at the bottom of the world!

Good choices! I reviewed Starhawk and All 4 One for a site I'm writing for and they are both good fun, all though they require a certain taste (which I don't have). And SSX really is an amazing series, I've been meaning to pick that one up but for some reason unknown to me... I haven't.

Also, I think it's sweet that you guys celebrate 4th of July so heartfelt. Our day is 6th of June and all we do is stay home from work. :)

Not really a purchase but a recent trade. Took the plunge and traded my 4S for a brand new One X. Hopefully it will hold me off until the new iPhone is released. Needed something new.

Just arrived. The DX is pretty cool. I wouldn't spend more than I did on it though..anything over $200 is too much and sad to say that's where the price is sitting right now.

I've always had a soft spot for the DX and wanted one for the free 3G and bigger screen. Do you like it?

So far really liking it. It is lighter than I thought it would be and the screen real estate is great for my terrible eyes. Great for couch reading. It also makes me really appreciate my smaller kindle 2 for on the go.

I don't remember if you have an iPad or iPad 2. If so how's the size/weight in comparison?

Oh, the D90 -- such a fabulous camera.

Just picked up $68 worth of OWC 4GB RAM for my 13" 2.4 Ghz Macbook 4.1. Hope the upgrade solves my FCE4 rendering problems.
