Today I preordered God of War III Ultimate edition with the Pandora's box and all that stuff

Yesterday: PS3slim 120GB > 320GB.

Today: Laptop 80GB > 120GB + External HDD 80GB.

Two days of good news, especially for me and the weekend being tomorrow.

Recently bought a PS3, ordered a copy of Ar tonelico 3 for it (Japanese version), am currently installing various development tools on it (in Linux).

And to top it off, I sent in a broken Rock Band guitar for replacement under the warranty, the broken one was wired, and I got a wireless one in return.

EDIT: And as Shrygue pointed out below, this was apparently my 1000th post here, even though I've been here since the beginning.

Plus after being registered for nearly 6 years, you've also reached 1,000 posts. Congrats for making it this far!

As for me, I'll be getting a front metal frame for my HTC Touch Diamond 2 phone (aka the Topaz) to replace the current that's gotten scratched and dented in one corner. Also, I'll be replacing the digitizer too (the touch panel) as that's scratched as well and had stopped working at one point before. It got the dreaded Newton's Rings causing the top layer to cave inwards. Tape manage to solve the problem for now.

Poor build quality, or you should look after it.

My phone (LG Arena) has a metal front, which hasn't as of yet suffered a single scratch.

Vampdude: the phone was second hand and it was like that when I got it. Plus I do take great care of things like that.

Getting a 32" Sony FD Trinitron/WEGA (32FS100) for $50 pretty soon. It features a high-resolution (component/s-video 480i) flatscreen CRT and surely beats the hell out of my current 19" entry-level RCA TV with no input other than RF from 1990!

Oh, also got this for free:

^ A Pioneer SX-838 receiver from 1974! It's built very well, powerful, and also my new receiver.

When I buy used phones, I always buy the replacement housing at the same time much to the expense on eBay from the dealings in phone parts and faulty phones for spares and repairs.

480i? RF? Wow, you are forever behind.

Though at least you can still play retro, where I've had to say goodbye to playing HotD and Virtua Cop (for now). Which the answer for my HDTV was Time Crisis 4, where the gun is the worst thing I've held (not good).
