What to Buy…

A while (like, may last year), I posted What Mac? In which I discussed all my options for buying my next computer (sorry all the images are broken…and probably the links too…oh well…). Anyway, I’m going to do the same thing now, since I’ve been thinking about it a lot since the iMac came out. So here we go.

  • A Kickass 24″ iMac

Pros
*Great computer for relatively low cost ($2000)
*Can replace Eve (when Eve needs replacing)

Cons
*Don’t have nearly enough money yet, I’d have to save almost all the money I get for a year and get a job to be able to have this by 2009…

  • Playstation 3

    Pros
    *Really advanced system, should be great for a long time (I’m still happily using my ps2…)
    *LittleBigPlanet
    *I can actually afford it at the moment (but just barely, another month or two for a game and a second controller ;))

    Cons
    *Only one game I’m really looking forward to, but plenty of other’s I’ll enjoy
    *Can’t afford any games yet 😛
    *No HDTV to play it on, I can hook it up to my monitor but then I have no sound…The TV is another $500 if I shop right…

  • Nintendo Wii

    Pros
    *Love using it. The controller is fun 🙂
    *Fun hacks with the controller and a computer
    *Some fun games coming out later in the year
    *Wii Sports counts as exercise 😀
    *Have a lot of money left over for games/controllers

    Cons
    *I already know 2 really close friends with Wiis, and I can use theirs whenever I want…
    *Barely any good games out right now…Boredom until something good comes out
    *Underpowered
    *Hard to get…
    *Lack of HDTV (See ps3 cons)

  • Something else?
  • Nintendo DS – play Myst DS when it comes out, Pokemon now…nothing else though
  • iPhone? 😀
  • Upgrade Eve? (More RAM, bigger/faster HD)
  • Something other than else?
  • Please advise me! 😀

    New iMacs!

    Apple announced their new, 4th-generation iMacs today. They’re made with aluminum (like the macbook pro and mac pro) and glass (like…well, you know. It’s got a glass screen. Very shiny, very pretty), and are thinner than the previous generation.

    Want.

    Levitation? Boo-ya.

    Apparently, some physicists have figured out how to levitate things. Awesome? Yes.

    Bourne Ultimatum

    I saw the “final” movie in the Bourne series, “The Bourne Ultimatum” today. It was good, but I haven’t seen any of the others in the series so I really had no idea what was going on at first 😛

    It was really action-packed, very few special effects, just tons and tons of crazy action. The ending was sub-par though. I didn’t really like the ending. All the stuff leading up to that kicked ass though. Lots of really blurry close-ups in the action sequences, though…

    Still. Great movie. Go see it. 😀
