Can I upgrade to u verse without the tv package? The uverse elite plan seems good for 29.99 when I pay 38.00 for the normal elite.

Seems like you can go just with the internet (filter for that alone with the link I gave), as I skipped TV service to get phone service, too. The bandwidth caps sound annoying, but I'm feeling better about staying under the future 250GB monthly U-verse limit after taking some measurements.

Just wondering those with ATT u-verse for internet what type of speeds are you getting, I'm going to switch from Comcast and get the up to 15mps connection. I get 11 down and 4 up at speedtest.net. Thanks in advance for the post of any test results. Also if you have HDTV through them let me know what you think of the quality of the picture.

I actually get close to the stated speeds at just under 12 down and 1.5 up through Speedtest.net's web site, both upon installation and right now. Again, adding a wireless-router WAP to the DMZ (DMZplus mode for 2WIRE's residential gateway) was a real pain to set up, but the network's been working relatively smoothly for me for the last few weeks since doing so.

Went to the north Elston Av. Kmart Wednesday to pick up Crysis 2 and they had 2 copies of Yakuza 3 but i hesitated to pick one up. Went there this evening to get one after having second thoughts but they were gone. The Kmart at Division, Milwaukee, and Ashland still had about 3 left after I bought mine if anyone was interested...

Blockbuster on Larkin in Joliet had a lot of movies at a low price. Good ones left. Baely any game stuff left though.

If anyone is interested, Galloping Ghost is having tournaments all day long this Saturday. Virtua Fighter 5, Tekken 6, Super Street Fighter II X Grand Master Challenge, Marvel vs Capcom 3, and Super Street Fighter IV. All are free to enter, with prizes. I may or may not be there, don't know yet.

P.S. Go Cubs!!!

Glad to see they finally have one. I tried to make one in 1997 and people thought I was nuts. Is this a Campus Activities Board event, Student Association, or just a club doing it on their own?

I'm not 100 percent sure but i think its their anime club hosting it.

Go white sox!!!!!!!!!!!!

Going Blockbuster hunting tomorrow in the Joliet area. Hopefully some game stuff. At least want to get Machete for $5 or less.

Good luck with that. Both stores only had 5 games at 40% on Friday.

They barely had any games. The one that stuck out the most was Force Unleased 2.
Ended up getting

The Grudge 2 $1
Repomen $3
The Spirit $3
Machete Blu-Ray $12
GIG Rise of the SixString $5 From Best Buy right off 55 by the mall.

Best Buy also had Dark Void, Harry Potter, NUNS2, and a few other games for $7 to $12

I will be there the whole day for fighting game overload.

I've heard the BestBuy in Burbank (across from Ford City Mall) will be one of the locations...but don't know the dates or time.

I heard of that one but I was told their are two other locations scheduled.

It's pretty amazing how much advertising Portal 2 is getting. Between the billboards and CTA buses it sure is getting alot of attention around here. Or maybe it's just me...

Not just you...I see it everywhere I go. Grabbed my brothers copy of Orange Box a few years back just to play the first one and loved it. I'm happy it's getting so much attention now. I just hope enough people like the product, and that it eclipses the original. Been seeing so many deals but I think I'm just gonna keep my PS3 copy locked in at Amazon. Had a $20 credit to burn there anyway. If anyone else is getting it for the same, hit me up if you want to try out the coop.
