  - I think I'd be skeptical and a little less trusting for a while to see if there really is more to it than that, but absent anything more I'd let it go -- nm - pmb Sep 11, 08:24

I got a few recommendations to watch It's Always Sunny... this weekend. I hear surprisingly little about it here. - TFox Sep 11, 08:07 7

120G HDD for Xbox 360 $72 with free shipping, about 1/2 the normal price. -- (link) - tRuMaN Sep 11, 07:51 7
- Still too much when I can get a 500G harddrive for $80. - Krusty Sep 11, 07:53 6
  - But it's a start for them, hopefully we'll see some realistic prices in the future. -- nm - Krusty Sep 11, 07:55 4
    - this isnt an msoft price drop, the retail price is still $160 for the unit (ie more than 1/2 of the now $299 elite). this is just a retailer sale. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 11, 07:56 3

- Pretty soon, you will be able to subscribe to watch your team's games in HD 3D. They have to have the rule in place to help that. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 08:11
- I always thought it was profit, but I'm glad the league set me straight. -- nm - BB Sep 11, 07:55 2
  - well, in truth the NFL could play to empty stadiums and still turn a profit. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 08:05 1

      - It's hard to justify a $250 Wii when both its HD competitors are just $299. -- nm - Ender Sep 11, 07:57 2
        
        Yup and the Blueray player in the PS3 makes it even more attractive. - Krusty Sep 11, 07:59 1

  - It certains works in a historical perspective, but I don't think that's necessarily how its meant. -- nm - znufrii Sep 11, 07:36 1
    - Yeah, it's pretty much turned into a war cry to bomb towelheads -- nm - con_carne Sep 11, 08:22
