I ordered these really awesome whole smoked shrimp from Sweden.  UPS shows up (very uncharacteristically) between 10am and 12pm on the day of delivery.  Of course, I'm not home.  The fiasco continues for 3 days despite notes on my door to leave the package and after this the shrimp goes all the way back to Sweden.  I get a nasty email from the vendor, I don't get my awesome smoked shrimp, and over 50 shrimp die needlessly and rot in the back end of a UPS truck.  Fucked.   
 
Sorry about ME2.  I'm still waiting for my copy in the mail.

Some of you and the OP have this wrong. However, let me preface this by saying that I love my PC and work as a tools engineer for my livelihood so you don't think I'm just hating on PC's:
 
A brand spanking new graphics card for your PC costs more than a brand spanking new console.  As long as the console has internet access and a reasonable interface the console is most comparable to replacing your entire PC every few years for the cost of a graphics card.  If you want to argue that PC's are on the bleeding edge then I challenge you to maintain the relevance and cost of a console by buying the best new PC components at the beginning, and only the beginning, of every new console cycle.  At first you'll maintain parity then the costs will go up as the PC becomes incompatible with new cards etc. and will eventually far outstrip console pricing.  At best you'll remain equivalent in computing power but the shrinking PC market seems to be shoving itself more and more into a high-end only corner so in rapid time your PC will be half-assed for the few major tech-demo and intensive strategy games that are released for it.   
 
My best hope for the OP's original sentiment is that consoles hurry up and start supporting a form of mouse if only for downloadable games (I'm pretty sure that's the only thing holding back a PSN Torchlight).  *Sigh*... I'm making myself sad.

I'm in Berkeley and we've opted out of the Ferry Building mess in SF on this New Years and decided we want an arcade tonight.  Does anyone in the area know of something nearby?  We're trying to stay out of SF and don't really want to drive all the way to San Jose.  Suggestions? 
 
Thanks!
