eh. I dunno if it was all that much faster. Granted, it was 2am, and I was fighting to stay awake. The one improvement I liked, when watching a Netflix stream, if you hit info, you saw where you were in the video, like before, but then it showed a meter with your net connection. Nice to know why your picture quality is dropping.
As for the buying crap. Ya. Not wasting my money. I'm also hesitant to plunk down $50 on a game that takes hours to download, and is only available on the HD. How do you trade it in? How do you take it to a friends place to play on their machine? What happens when the tiny little drive fills up? Or when the drive crashes???
Well, in the case of a drive crash, Microsoft has on file all the things you downloaded, they're tucked away in your profile. That's why if you buy a new machine you can re-download any of your downloads for free. The ones on your old drive would become unusable I think.
I'm back. And wonder of wonders, the internet
is
faster!

Every time I see "Destiny" I think Young Frankenstein.

My apologies, I've been remiss. I've clarified Adama's COs, but now I've noticed I need to clarify Roslin's COs too. While I fix this up, the current state of play is:
Destiny:
2 cards
Apollo:
1 card
Boomer:
1 card
Adama:
1 card
Roslin:
Baltar:
BSG
It's OK - Roslin plays no cards. She totally told me.
