Well, I must say, I was siding with HD-DVD in the format wars. I picked up an HD-DVD drive for my Xbox 360 last August at the time for a very good deal (Best Buy had incorrect prices). I'm sure now though the prices will drop quite a bit. It looks like I'll get a Blu-Ray drive sometime, I'm not sure when, definitely not in a rush right now as I don't get time to watch the HD-DVDs that I've purchased. At some point I'll look into drives, probably just going with a PS3 to knock it all out in one shot. Don't think I won't buy anymore HD-DVDs though, I'll definitely keep an eye out for deals on movies over the next few months. I have the player, I may as well buy the media.

That's right, my xbox360 is going to start blogging! When it does it'll be available at http://www.360voice.com/blog.asp?tag=christoc I think it may take a day or two for my 360 to know it can blog, we'll see what it comes up with for it's first...

At CES this evening it was announced that the Xbox 360 will get a HD-DVD external drive attachment later this year! Good news for 360 Owners. Now if they would just upconvert regular DVDs as...

Christmas was good this year! Natalie and I both spoiled each other rotten! I just installer her new car stereo into the F350. The stock stereo was hurting! It only had AM/FM, no CD or Tape! I got her a nice Sony CD Player for the dash, two new kicker speakers for the front doors, and an XM Roady2 for the must have Satellite radio. There's no Sirius in this household, down with Howard Stern and Sirius Radio! I installed the CD player this evening and made sure everything worked. It's a very clean install, you have to love Crutchfield for including everything you could need to install a radio ordered from them. The new CD player went right in the old unit's place courtesy of the Crutchfield mounting hardware. I also picked up some fine jewelery from Krekeler Jewelers for Natalie's Christmas gifts. Thanks to Jeff for all the help picking a few nice things out!  Natalie spoiled me with some new Oakleys, a cool North Face Jacket, and the Klipsch floor speakers I'd been asking for! The new speakers sound amazing in front of the 50" plasma! I've ordered the Klipsh C-3 center channel speaker from Best Buy using some great gift cards I received. Sometime later this year I'll get the new receiver and 4 surround sound speakers to complete my new and improved home theater setup. My parents sent me money to purchase an aircompressor and some tools for the garage, so I was out looking at Sears today. I did realize however, I'm going to need to take the truck next time I go, as the air compressors won't fit in the 350Z! Thanks to everyone for the great Christmas. Natalie and I spent our first of many Christmas' together, hopefully next year we'll be able to see our parents though, it was my first Xmas away from my family :( More to come in...
