I just got a settlement check from a class action lawsuit filed against the Pizza Hut. I was thinking about buying a PS3 with the money, but I'd rather put it towards a new car. Again....only if the PS3 wasn't $600......thats a good chunk for a down payment on my car.

Buy a 360 if you don't have one.

If you don't have one and don't buy one, I hope your new car explodes when you start it.

BTW: What class-action suit?

hahah...yeah, I already have a 360, a Wii, and a Nintendo DS...so I figure my video game needs are covered already.

There are actually three class action lawsuits going against the Pizza Hut right now. One is for not giving the employees any 10 minute or 30 minute breaks during an 8 hour shift (took me about 4 years there before they gave me any breaks), for not paying employees overtime, and for making them work off the clock. The second law suit is for not reimbursing delivery drivers a fair amount for delivering pizzas. They only gave us 50 cents a delivery for years, while all the other surrounding stores gave $1-$1.25 a delivery. Then, I'm not exactly sure what the third law suit is for...I just know that I filled out papers for three different lawsuits

I want pizza now. Not Pizza Hut though, that shit fucks with your DNA.

I don't think Nintendo's fascist third-party policies had anything to do with saving the industry. It was all about money. I think SMB saved the console gaming industry. Nobody would have bought the NES, post-crash, if it didn't have a killer app. And if nobody had bought the NES, we'd all be playing games on our PCs.

I like Ico.

LOS ANGELES - Microsoft Corp. Thursday cut its fiscal 2007 forecast for Xbox 360 video game console shipments, citing unsold inventories in stores, and said it is trying to make sure its gaming division turns a profit in the upcoming fiscal year.

Chief Financial Officer Chris Liddell said Microsoft aims to ship a total of 12 million Xbox 360s by the end of its fiscal year on June 30, down from a previous target of 13 million to 15 million.

Going forward, Moore said Microsoft intends to focus on delivering profits to investors.
Microsoft had promised that its Entertainment and Devices unit -- home to its games businesses -- would turn a profit in fiscal 2008.

"We're very glad to see Microsoft is trying to rein in Xbox so it can be a profitable concern rather than a market-leading, money-losing concern," said Kim Caughey, an analyst at Fort Pitt Capital, which manages more than $1 billion in assets, including shares of Microsoft.
