Recent Entertainment Purchases

I've recently purchased Tron: Legacy, fantastic movie.
Recently bought the Superman/Batman: Apocalypse animated dvd. Honestly felt that Michael Ironside should have done the voice for Darkseid. Absolutely loved the first meeting between Kara and the Kents after she and Superman got done kicking Darkseid's butt!
Don't faint, but I've got something to add to this thread.
We now have an Xbox 360 Kinect sitting on our entertainment center next to a 20 year old RCA VCR.
I didn't buy the damned thing, but I did have to put it together and get it onto our wireless network and make it all work.
My wife wanted one that would run exercise programs. You know, like dancing to the oldies without Richard Simmons.
So she did some research, and talked to her sister, and my brother, and women she works with, and read online, and all that, and came up with this thing. And got it on sale to boot!
From what I can tell, this machine is a hybrid between a Wii and a Cyclon.
First off, there is dozens of cables to run every which way, a power supply the size of a shoebox, and this EYE that sits on top of the TV and watches you watch it. And not only that, you can talk to the Xbox and it will talk to you! Through our old surround sound that I bought at a pawn shop ten years ago no less.
I am not a Luddite, not really. I like technology to some degree. I don't have a smart phone, my cellular phone is pretty much a phone. I do have a laptop that runs Windows XP, now, I just got it last fall when the machine I used for writing that ran 2K flamed out (no I'm not kidding, it went down in flames!). And so on. I neither hate nor fear technology, I'm just a late adopter of things.
But now, when I'm sitting there in the morning checking my email and drinking my caffeine watching the early news... I have this GAME that blinks at me, and then the C-u C-me thing turns and looks at me.

Before this weekend is out, the 360 will be on a power strip that can be turned OFF when the game is not in active use.
.... damned toasters.

I recently purchased the entire collection of the anime Sailor Moon in both English and Japenese. It's been my favorite anime since I was a kid, about time I finally got it.
I ordered Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition and Mass Effect 3: N7 Collectors Edition today. Aside from that, I bought the complete seasons 3 & 4 of the original Transformers cartoon, and the full series of Mobile Armored Strike Kommand (M.A.S.K) on DVD.
