No, a real tank. As an ornament near our paintball course. They are fairly easy to find and not necessarily all that expensive, but shipping is a bitch.

Post by: huckleberry on May 14, 2008, 12:52:53 AM: A 2009 Honda Fit in the Fall (they don't come out till September I think)...I am a sucker for hatchbacks. Plus I don't really like cars all that much to begin with.

A $21,000 payment toward my student loans, which will pretty much clear me the fuck out for buying any cool big stuff for a few months.

Hopefully a couple of plane tickets out to Portland Oregon so my wife and I can drive up and down the coast trying to get a feel for the area...thinking about moving to the NW next year sometime.

Most tech sites consider the PS3 the best bluray player on the market since it has upgradeable firmware and tons of memory. If you don't feel the games for the system why don't you use it as a dedicated bluray player. Just get the remote and you're all set.

Post by: Kyle on May 14, 2008, 01:57:19 PM: I consider the PS3 the best and the cheapest bluray player available in the market, but I have to replace my old (DivX-enabled) DVD Player with a finished spec Bluray player that is DivX enabled too. so, selling my PS3 would save more space for my little home theater, cuz I didn't play games on my PS3 since I bought it :-\ even GT5P was boring.

I have to take the best chances selling my PS3 when MGS4 come out. :D

Yeah I just don't have the time or patience right now to do that. I need a good one for some of the games coming out soon. Since moving out of my parents' I got a hand me down that was only good for surfing the net. It barely ran StarCraft and Diablo 2 and that was after maxing the memory and RAM out :lol

I'm not committing to one thing or another until I have a vehicle. I think I'd like psychology more since it would not only be potentially useful in real life, but it's a much useful from a potential career perspective.
