I can't just ignore your post. Although I don't want to be too off topic, I have to say that I can't agree more to what you said.
Years and years ago early 2000s I bought my first football game (yes it's called football not soccerwhich was an EA Fifa. And I was a huge fan of those games. One day my friend just showed me this game. Once I saw it on the screen I was like WTF. People were small, commentator was speaking Japanese and etc. I refused to play that. It used to be called Winning Eleven. Then he insisted and said just play once if you don't like, you can always go back to your Fifa.
Man, that day was my first day with Konami and never played or purchased the Fifa ever since.
Fifa is good, dont get me wrong, but to me, PES looks MUCH more realistic. I played Fifa 12, and it felt way to video gamish to me. Outside of the game on the field itself, Fifa has all the bells and whistles because EA is a powerhouse, but nothing beats PES' gameplay, IMO of course.
iPhone 5 32GB. Preordered 2 phones, one came early a few days ago and the other is stuck in back order so I canceled it. Then on the way to work, decided to drive by the AT&T store at 9, waited 15 minutes in line and walk out with the phone at 9:45!

I think I wasn't clear enough. I used to play Fifa until I was introduced to Pes.And now I have been playing all the series of Pes since 2000 and never looked back. So I %100 agreed on what you say about Pes (Winning Eleven).
Oh no, I understood what you were saying, I was just adding to the conversation. I was torn between the two last year, but watching a few gameplay vids on youtube, it was an easy choice for me.
Mine was delivered around an hour ago. Love it so far! Quite the upgrade from an iPhone 4.
I decided to upgrade my Sony 5.1 system to something a lot better, as it was one of those home-theatre-in-a-box amp & speaker combinations. Not bad, but I wanted something better and my mate is well impressed with his surprise random gift!
Anyway, I went for one of the new Yamaha Aventage amplifiers, the RX-A820, the Q Acoustics 2000i 5.1 pack and a pair of the 2050i speakers for the fronts to complete the 7.1 set-up.
I must say, I'm absolutely blown away by the performance, and it all looks very nice too. However, I was watching Batman Begins and something felt a little lacking...... I have a 50" Panasonic plasma which is a fine size for watching TV, but for movies I felt like I needed something a little larger.....
So today I ordered an Optoma HD33 projector which includes the 3D emitter and a pair of the RF shutter glasses, and one of their 106" motorised Panaview screens. Should be here in the next few days, I really can't wait.

Returned a mountain bike that ended up being to big for me at REI and exchanged it for this beauty of a road bike.
LOVE IT!
Asked REI to take the fenders off because they make the bike look tackyyyy
Upgraded the 4S to the 5. Thanks, work!
And plugged in are the Bowers & Wilkins C5s that I just bought (from the marketplace here, actually). I love the fitting mechanism, but I'm not quite sure of the sound, yet. Time will tell...
And a couple games. Borderlands 2 is freaking fun, and JSR is one of my old favorites.

Welcome to the dark side!
I have gotten black every time and don't plan on deviating from that ever.
I feel the same way! I always get a black iPhone but my brother always gets a white one.
Apple product tends to come with little imperfections. My black iPhone 5 came with a tiny ding in the metal. As did every single Mac that I've purchased over the years.

NIce setup...I went down the Onkyo road mainly for the 3D support...It's an awesome amp too.
That looks like a great bike. I love those bar end shifters- my trek tourer had the same, but it stolen a few weeks ago when I chained it to a tree in the CBD and had to leave it for a couple of weeks due to a family emergency. I'm dreading buying another as all the shops seems to sell are mtn bikes and racers. I've decided on a Surly Trucker with disc brakes but can't find one in the shops.
I didn't get an iPhone, but I happy to grab probably the last remaining copy in this city of 70's superband, Roxy Music's box set that was released last month, on Friday. The albums haven't been brick walled so they sound great.
Sorry for the crappy grammar. I couldn't be stuffed fixing it.

I had one of those and hated it. It was way too bulky and held my phone that tight, it felt like it was going to scratch it when i took it out so instead, I picked up a Griffin clear back black case. It fits perfectly and adds very minimal bulk and weight. Plus you can see the iPhone design through it.
I think this is the first iPhone case I have ever had that I like using.
