Eowyn

Not the Lord of the Rings character, but the band. Eowyn is a great lead vocalist. Sadly, this band had to disband because of financial difficulties. They've lowered the price of the silent screams cd to $7.99 Well worth picking up

Innocence & Instinct

At first I was very hesitant about RED's newest CD. While still incorporating the smooth strings harmonics that I had enjoyed in the first CD, the music was decidedly "harder." Well that is all a thing of the past as songs such as Shadows and Death of Me are slowly(actually not so slowly) creeping there way up my top played songs list. A great CD by a promising band.

PS3

Thats right. I couldn't stand not having a next gen system so i finally splashed money down on the PS3. Here is my short list of reasons why.

1. Blu-Ray: The PS3 is one of the best blur-ray players on the market. As with any blu-ray player it also upgrades any standard dvds you may own to 1080i HD quality.
2. MGS4: aka Metal Gear Solid 4. The series is amazing beautiful and I own every one. This game is quite possibly the best game to own....not to mention how beautiful it looks.
3. The sixaxis controller: Very quietly this controller has gone under the radar of most people. Basically this controller was built with wii like capabilities to detect motion. Its used in games such as Heavenly Sword and Warhawk. The even bigger underlying issue is the fact that Sony realizes the importance of this system as is releasing a new "wand" for the PS3.
4. Free access to the PS Network: Free> Xbox Live $
5. The PS3 is a wireless, bluetooth receiver
