12 Days Of Christmas: On The Third Day...

Before I started this, I wanted to ask everyone if anyone has bought Blu-Ray players (PS3s are included) or the HD-DVD players (Xbox 360 HD-DVD add-on included as well). Also, I'd like to know how old you guys are. If you bought a PS3, cool, I understand. But you guys going out spending the money on a standard that might not make it is pretty out there. Do you guys know the story of VHS? During the times VHS was released, another 'standard' was around called Beta Max. Some people bought a Beta Max player and Beta Max tapes. Some people bought VHS and VHS tapes. Needless to say, VHS won that war and those people that bought Beta Max wasted their money. The same thing will happen to Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD. One of them will drop and then the guy who bought the player that drops will be ranting and raving. Before you do go into a rant, remember, Dinghy is telling you now to not waste your money on this crap before the standards are set for what will replace DVD, and second, remember that we have history (even history in electronics) that we should be aware of and learn from. If you think this isn't another Beta Max/VHS war in digital times, you're a very foolish person. I'm just saying, hold up for a few years because honestly, you can't tell THAT big of a difference unless you're own a 1080p TV. Even then, it's not worth it just so you can say "Whoa, I watched a movie in HD last night.". Back to Christmas...

·Day Three: Movie·

I know you guys have been flipping out about me putting this up, and trust me, I love this movie more than the next guy. Eddie (the fat drunk cousin) reminds me a little too much of one of my uncles. But, for those of you who are unsure about what this movie is about, here it goes. The Griswold's decide to stay home and have a huge traditional Christmas with their families coming in and staying with them in their home. Clark (Chevy Chase) is saving up to buy a pool for his family for Christmas, but is waiting on his big bonus to come through so he can afford it. The real fun is when Eddie and his trash family comes. A great classic, and if you haven't seen this, go find your grandfather's gun and clean it with your tongue!! Just kidding. Just go watch it. If you have Xbox 360, you can rent it directly off of Marketplace right now. I think I saw it on there...

·Day Three: Game·

Finally, a game even a Wii owner can get. Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is a really good game for you guys to ask for this Christmas holiday. I just recently wrote a review for the game (check it out). I think the reason this game is good to ask for is because it truly is a game you and your friends can sit down and play. Everyone knows Marvel. Everyone knows how to hit random buttons. My preferred console to play this on is the 360 for the achievements. They're a lot of fun to collect in this game and give you a little more for your money. That's if you care about achievements.
