Now get me a Mac Mini!

Well, I eventually got my 'free' Sony PSP, so I signed up for the new Intel-based Mac Mini. I've got a few referrals cleared on my account but still need a few more. If anybody is interested in signing up and trying to get one too please use my referral link so you'd help me out while you're at it.

The offers aren't very difficult at all, especially ones like Blockbuster or the stamps.com one. They're almost worth doing without the free mini for incentive.
The deal used to be pretty attractive before the Intel versions were announced, but with the newly updated specs it's a steal.

* 512MB memory
* 60GB hard drive
* DVD/CD-RW combo drive
* Integrated AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth capability
* Mac OS X 10.4, iLife '06 and Front Row software
* Apple remote
* 6.5 inches wide and 2 inches tall
* Weighs only 2.9 lbs

Rude Animals to Return

After being dormant for a few years now the surly bunch that makes up Animal Crossing will be making a return of sorts in their kinda sequel; Animal Crossing Wild World. I remember seeing fuzzy pictures of the original game YEARS ago in EGM when it was being developed for the N64 and thought it looked unique. How right I was. The Gamecube original is like crack rock on a disc! You basically mimic life in the game through a strange looking boy or girl character in a town full of rude and sometimes obnoxious animals. You do chores for them, or just hold things for them and they'll give you items that you collect and horde in your tacky self-decorated house that you're forever paying off to the wretched Tom Nook. This time around they've added...well not too much, but still it's new so it's reason enough to play the damned thing. You now have a slingshot (hopefully you can hit the animals with it like you could do with the net in the original. now THAT was good fun!), it's in a 3d perspective, and of course, the big deal is it is online capable. It's not easy to get online accoring to EGM, but when has the internet ever been meant to be easy anyway? At any rate I've been looking forward to this pointlessly addictive game for over a year now and it may very well be reason enough to get a DS. Hopefully Target is still honoring that whole $99 debacle...

Get me a PSP!

By using this link;

and signing up for one of the offers available you can be a real super duper friend and get me a free Sony PSP!
I've been very doubtful of these offers ever since they started the freeipods thing years ago. They did a few segments about it on The Screensavers even and Kevin Rose shattered the myth once he actually took delivery of his free iPod. I had an iPod though so my interest in that was pretty limited, but when I heard about the free PSPs and Xboxes, and PS2s etc I just had to see if it was for real. The steps involved are pretty simple, you sign up and then have five friends sign up and complete one of the offers. Soon after that they send you the goods. I signed up for the $9.99 Blockbuster Online offer which has been great so far. I set up my account fairly easily and picked 3 movies. The next day my first movie arrived because the shipping depot they use is literally a few miles away. Lucky me. So, even if I don't get the free iPod I'll have gotten 3 movies for $10 delivered to my door.
If you want to be a super friend, please use the link above and hook me up. Hell, I'll even send you the ten bucks if you go the Blockbuster route using my referral!
I'll report back if I get it or have issues.

This makes total sense

This article about the mediocre Motorola/Apple/Cingular Rokr phone makes complete sense to me. Apple never was the type to release something so "blah" and as this guy points out the Rokr is just a pawn in their grand scheme to get a foot hold in the cell phone market. The beauty of it is that they don't even come out of this deal looking so bad. It's not the Apple Rokr, it's Motorola's turd. It'll sell beyond what it would have normally because of iTunes, and as a result Apple might be able to come back to the bargaining table with something of their own design that could blow away the competition and be able to dictate their terms. The real iTunes phone is coming I think.

Well that's just obscene!

Buggati is finally back in action. Their long talked about Veyron is finally going to be available and AutoExpress drove it. Rated at around 1000hp from a quad turbo charged W16 engine, the Veyron will cost you a mere $1,000,000. It apparently spanks the McLaren F1 as the fastest production car with an estimated top speed of 250+mph. AutoExpress has some audio so you can hear what a beastly 1000hp W16 sounds like. The old EB110 has always been a favorite of mine. Despite the Veyron having nearly twice the horsepower I'd still rather have an EB110...
