Games: Just a couple quick things that I thought people might like to see:
.
1> Got this press release from PopCap. I don't usually run press releases, but I thought this one was worthwhile
.
SEATTLE, Washington – November 12, 2008 — PopCap Games, the leading developer and publisher of casual games, announced today that it will ship the first 500 boxed, retail copies of Bejeweled Twist™ to the non-profit Games For Soldiers (GFS) organization tomorrow. GFS will deliver the boxed copies of the game to armed services personnel stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan in time for soldiers in the field to enjoy it during the holiday season. The third installment in its ultra-popular Bejeweled® franchise, Bejeweled Twist arrives on retail shelves next Tuesday, November 18 and is available now via Web download at www.popcap.com.

I don't support the war, but I do support the people who are over there fighting it. Kudos to PopCap for the donation.

2> And for those people who may be jumping on the 360 bandwagon by way of the $199 Arcade pack (sans HD), Microsoft is offering to send out a 20GB hard drive for only $20.
.
Although 20GB isn't optimal, it's a heck of a lot better than the dinky memory card that comes packed in. Honestly, I have about 30 or so Arcade games on my 20GB, and I still have about a quarter of the memory free.
.
With the new Xbox Live Experience launching in another week or so, people who want to take part in it will likely need the storage and 20GB for $20 might be more affordable this holiday season than ponying up $100 for the 60GB, or $150 for the 120GB. Interested parties should go HERE for more info.
