1. Sony PS3 Slim - finally got one. I have been writing this for the longest time and finally I took the plunge, and hell, it was well worth the wait! Bluray movies, Hi-def games, Online games. This machine can do it all. Two thumbs up!
2. Atlantic Technology THX Speakers - got this pre-owned again! I am lucky, this used to be $1,500 for the whole 5 speaker set. Got for a fraction of the cost. Now my system is fully THXed! From my receiver (Onkyo 806 THX) to my subwoofer (M&K V-125 THX) and these babies. Just switch on all THX and its good to go. Sound so good.
3. Monoprice Two-output HDMI Splitter - this component is heaven sent. Formerly, I can only watch my HDDVD & NMT on my PJ, my Pioneer DVD and KY Karaoke on my LCD panel. But with my new Sony PS3, I expect to play HD games on my LCD panel and watch Bluray movies on my PJ, don't want to go through the hassle of switching HDMI cables and this thing does it for me, just the size of a soap box, tucked just at the back of the set-up without people even knowing it exist. But it does its job well. Glad I bought one.
4. Macbook Pro - my wife decided to retire her old plain Macbook, after almost three years of great service she was ready for a change. Its also fitting to upgrade this time since, at three years, its also the best time to sell the old Macbook when we can get around 50% of its acquisition price. Well, the new aluminum unibody 13" Macbook Pro did not disappoint. Sleek in looks and packing a punch in features. It was an ideal home computing machine, in it is of course the world famous Mac OS X, now on its Snow Leopard run.
These are the updates I have for now, till the next article. I plan to write something different, something I just discovered, I have just tried out their service, hopefully its as advertised.
