Dear God, I need one of those (the MacBook Air)...I don't know what exactly I'd need it for, but it looks so nifty somehow. Maybe when I get around to going to school full-time (thinking next spring or the fall after).

That MacBook Air is insane. I'm afraid I'd lose it down the side of my bed, though :?

OMFG. $1800 is approx. £916.78

...

And knowing consumer products as I do, it'll be put up to about £1200 over here. ¬¬

Kinda sucky. I'll stick with my Dell (which cost me £325 ($638) because I have connections :lol:).

Off-topic: Oh! I just noticed I'm now a 'Super-Special-Awesome member' w00t! A nod to LK's TAS I see. Very nice.

Now that I think about it, it was so obvious. Super-special-awesome is, well... SUPER-SPECIAL-AWESOME.

That is true. At least Nintendo doesn't release the same product in a new design with small increases in features. Oh... Wait a sec...

There's not much point upgrading the DS. If Nintendo release a Wii V2, I'll stick with my launch Wii. Unless it has some totally awesome features like holographic images or a TV embedded into it's side allowing play without an actual TV or something.

Hmm, I like the new DS lite as it looks nice, brighter and nicer buttons etc. But the reason I ahvent upgraded it is my DS does everything so meh.

A Wii V2 wouldn't have them unless it was a completely new console. And the TV in the side would kinda be pointless tho! :P

Yea, that's what I'm saying. They added a few tweaks here and there, but it's basically the same. Most importantly: It plays the games! Job done.

Oh and I agree with the TV thing, I was just making a point... BUT COME ON! A TV ON THE SIDE = FRICKIN AWESOME.

Hey, it's the principle that counts... what a second! BETTER IDEA.

Have a... wait for it... wait for it... PROJECTOR on the side. So you could project it directly onto a wall! How awesome would that be?
