Do it myself, and most any car maintenance that does not require super specialized equipment. I bought a pair of break pads for my car when I got it, and due to the lifetime guarantee on them have never had to pay for break pads again (same with the rotors when I replaced them last).

@clonedzero: Personally not sure if the sale of two used games always equate to two new game sales. In some of these cases the purchase of used games is due to price or sales of used content from stores. Personally I take advantage of the buy 2 get one free from GameStop or BestBuy on occasion to pick up old games that I wasn't willing to buy new at its current price.

I think it is interesting that in Europe they seem to have protected consumer rights on this when it comes to software and licenses.

But we some how struggle with this concept here in the States. I feel the decision (so far) from Microsoft is very anti consumer and hope they change it.

Single Barrel would be my first pick, I have been thinking of making the entire barrel purchase. If i'm out of single barrel and must drink something else Ancient Ancient Age (10 year) is a good alternative.

I really like KoA despite its flaws. Sad to see this happen to them already. Hopefully they get it straightened out soon and can remain in business.

Personally have a lot of fond memories of Shenmue on my Dreamcast. I played hours and hours of it. It was new, and the production values at the time were amazing. I think Shenmue 3 as I'd hate to say it would be great if shrunk down into episodes and then released via XBLA, PSN, STEAM. This could allow for a slightly less demand on some production as it's a small 10-15 dollar episode.

Play through the ladder on easy, as you can get multiple flawless victories for 1k each and takes about 12-13minutes to get through the whole ladder (getting you closer to the beat all character ladders achievement/story) or play on expert, you most likely won't get that many flawless victories but a win is worth about 500k each. Keep in mind on expert you can always when it gets to tough at a point just restart the ladder, expert also adds the benefit of potentially making you a better player as you play through it.

Personally Believe it will be about Thomas Zane, and be more of a prequel to the first game. With Rumors around potential use of Kinect which I'm not to sure about.

I hope they are making this game, I don't think it'll take 5 years as Max Payne 2 was something like 18 months after the first game. Well I hope to see it at E3 this year.

wired had an article similar with a guy who actually was hacking his ps3, and found out that their apache servers were out of date (he had the revision numbers) determined using packet sniffers on his network, and explained that they do not even attempt a firewall or VPN.
