Macbook
Wombat,
I too have recently purchased a macbook. Let me give you a slice of advice: Don't you dare pay them to upgrade your memory. It's insulting how much the charge. I actually got the 1 GB in the 2.4 system, bought a 4GB kit for $100 and took, oh... 50 seconds to install. Hardest part was finding the right sized screwdriver.
I'm very happy with the product and with Apple in general, but that's a tremendous failing on their part.

I like this format. All Games Interactive does something similar to this, it's a lot of fun.
On Videogame Prices
We went from Wombat being the ignorant slut to cheapy... Here's a small reason why video games cost more than DVDs. Because movies also show in theaters! While they assrape you there, getting a large portion of profit from movie theater owners, they can then turn around and make more profit off of DVD sales. I know you guys mentioned it, but it seriously costs MORE to take a date to a movie then it is to buy a DVD. I'm paying $20 and walking out with, what? Nothing. It's basically a $20 rental.
The day first run, new release video games are only available for 1 day rentals at $12 a pop, for 6-12 months, you can gripe. Until then... you're wrong.
