My First Discount


I was hungry and I needed lunch so I get a BBQ pizza at the Food Ave and viola, 10% team member discount. Orientation was not as boring as I expected. Target is a very upbeat company and their DVD training was interesting, if not full of common sense. They showed the FISH video thats always fun to watch.
So Microsoft releases their upgrade for Live. Not a huge fix, but not bad. I was able to play Zuma while downloading a 500mb demo. Nice. Before, you would select a download and walk away and do something constructive until the demo downloaded. Now you can enjoy their fine product while it does its thing. Neat. Still no new downloads worthy of mention.
Nintendo does some more talking about Wii, but doesnt reveal anything much. They expect games to be between $4 and $10 for the virtual console. They will announce details like a release date and final price in September. Talk about cutting it close. Also, they will release original titles for Virtual Console. That should be cool.
I picked up Gradius Collection today. Its a good package for what it is, but $40 may be a bit much for the average sh'mup fan. But still, 5 great shooters with a bonus music and movie gallery and you got fan service.
