Holy shit! You live in Japan? We haven't heard that a thousand times already!

These aren't magazine covers that are for sale, they're on top of the covers. You can easily remove them.

@Asbestos_Underwear: "there could be name collisions between Sony, Microsoft. Those collisions could be resolved that way." Or the vastly easier way which would be to add "@XBL" to MS users and "@PSN" to Sony users. Problem solved.
This was at the auto show that I went to, and it isn't new. At least a year old, if not two.
@speakerwizard:
"i hoping the iphone would be another nail in the flash coffin"
Flash coffin? What flash coffin? In case you haven't noticed, every single major and minor Internet company utilizes flash across a huge array of sites. Youtube, Google, Yahoo, Facebook (for their ad serving tech), etc etc etc.

The whole "flash sucks@!!@" thing is over. Get with the times.

It's an even better day than Pi day:
Step 1. go to [google.com]
Step 2. Enter: March 14th
Step 3. Hit "I'm Feeling Lucky"
Step 4. Profit (in a special way)
"iPod touch will also get the update but at a "nominal charge" due to Apple's accounting principles that differ between the Touch and iPhone."
What a f'en joke. I'm going to get charged so I can buy applications?
So, there's FIFA Street, NFL Street, NBA Street (or whatever they're all now called)... how about: Curling Street?

Bring the outlaw culture of the world's leading curling masters to next gen consoles!

@Pugs: Exactly what I was thinking.
Japan is great. We get it. Woopie. We also don't care about all the boring minutia. It's an f'en TV show.
@thebobman: Please show me the UAV that would have a range of 6000 miles and can "bomb 16 targets in a single pass when equipped with 1,000 or 2,000-pound bombs, or as many as 80 when carrying 500-lb bombs." and not be detected on it's way in or out. Or even a squadron of UAVs that can do that.
How about The Ambiguously Gay Duo: The Game?
I've got the Dell 2405FPW and I love it. Dropped about $700 on it and it's probably been the best computer purchase I've made.
Ehh... I'll wait until 9am Eastern and watch it in HD. A number of decent 720p videos to tide me over until then at [www.indianajones.com]
1 million downloads / 25,000 downloads/day = 40 days.

Jan 24th until Feb 9 is, what, 15 or 16 days? Am I missing something?

Walked by the house of the CEO of THQ recently. He tried to grow grapes and failed.
For the clever people saying they'll just have 29 feet of concrete: Guess what happens when 780lbs of high powered explosives go off on the other side of a 1 foot slab of concrete?

That's right... you die.

@t3knomanser: Let me guess, you run a 14" CRT monitor at 640x480 still, right?

I guess if you have no interest in sports, quality nature shows (Planet Earth in HD was insane and is my #1 reason to pick up a blu-ray player), console gaming, etc etc, then no, you have no reason to get one.

"No, I will not get an new HDTV for the Super Bowl."
Maybe the Gizmodo editors should first worry about basic grammar?
