I gotta get me one. I want the original Kindle sooo much, but would be willing to hold out for 90 days if the Kindle 2 is truly coming out around Jan 8 (CES time).

Of all things, I ran out to buy a new psu because I thought my psu failed. PC still wouldn't power up. So, my friends came over and looked at it. The new psu had the fans start to spin, but nothing would post. So we disconnected every part from the mobo and the ultimate solution was a new mobo.
Which meant, I had to get a new cpu and new ram. So, $500+ later and full of upgrades...same problem. What?! So, I disconnect everything including the cables from the psu and finally...it starts up. I start putting things back together one by one and I finally find the problem. It was my HDD. My system wouldn't powerup if it a cable from the psu was attached to the HDD. Yikes! Who's ever heard of that?!
Well, at least I got some shiny new upgrades, but now I need another HDD. The one I was using was my backup because my raptor drive bit the dust as I was troubleshooting another pc. Makes no sense. But, anyways....yay upgrades!

So? Those of you who've been able to pick up the game and play it a bit these past couple days....thoughts?
I realize that my opinion is probably laughably pedestrian on this, since I am a girl, and this IS (a) a video game that (b) has to do with playing sports - and don't get me wrong, I'm against Title IX just like everyone else - but to throw it out there for kicks - I think 2k9 is great. I have been very pleasantly surprised with the added features and enhanced gameplay. They kept the heart of 2k8 but were able to polish it up substantially, i think. That said, one of the less-cool new developments in 2k9 to be that I no longer can play from the 2K Camera View I preferred in 2k8. Using it in 2k9, no matter what the height or zoom, produces weird lags and like seizure-inducing camera spins. That said, I think the "Broadcast" default camera view in 2k9 to be GREATLY improved and super fluid and fun. So, while irritated at first, I survived the camera view transition and am very much enjoying the game.
How about you other nba2k_ers? Did it meet expectations?

I just wanted to point out how awesome Mythic has been so far regarding gold sellers, resolving issues, fixing bugs, etc.
First, check the right side of this page:
http://herald.warhammeronline.com/warherald/NewsArticle.war?id=362
"BANHAMMER: 9844 Banned for Selling Gold"
That's awesome that they're taking an openly aggressive approach to banning users for spam tells and such.
Secondly, look at the patch notes I linked - they're fixing percieved issues on an almost-daily basis, with small patches and hot fixes. Color me impressed - I've never seen an MMO dev respond to issues so quickly!

It looked so freaking hilarious when the dude ran around the party. Any more costumes that stick out in your mind like this?

Now you're thinking, should I just start over? Or should you continue on and hope to get your old groove back soon... either way, it ruins the game.

based on all the leaks, you're looking at aluminum MacBooks, redesigned MacBook Pros, and probably a refreshed MacBook Air.

Finally we have dating advice for the 21st century: "Keeping your refrigerator stocked will get you many women." Truly, this is the finest instructional video I have ever seen on or off the internet. Use its wisdom well.
