Toy collecting is a pretty serious hobby for an enthusiast. So when you're 29 years old and your mother throws away your entire collection of plastic Gundam models you're understandably upset. But upset enough to allegedly burn your own house down in revenge? That either brings new meaning to the term "burning passion," or it's just plain stupid-- it's probably the latter. At least no one was hurt in the incident.
For some reason the "so good, it's bad" appeal of Dragon Ball Evolution continues. The Anime News Network reports DBE has been the most popular download on the PlayStation Network for the last two weeks. It would be interesting to know if total PSN sales will eventually surpass the meager earnings the movie brought in at the box office in April. On the upside, at least it is turning a profit for Twentieth Century Fox. As for Blu-ray sales I'm certain only HD buffs and hardcore Dragon Ball fans would be willing to shell out nearly $40 for that format. And while on the subject of Blu-ray, Toshiba has finally started to manufacture products capable of playing Blu-ray discs. If you'll remember back to 2008 it was Toshiba pushing for the HD-DVD format against its rival Sony, until Blu-ray won the backing of all the major movie studios. That decisive blow effectively ended the HD-DVD wars and Toshiba pulled out of the HD-DVD market shortly thereafter.
On the Microsoft side of things, the evidence that the Xbox 360 Pro will be phased out continues to pile up. In the UK one retailer already lists the Pro as discontinued by Microsoft. If the current rumor holds true (unlike the one about the Elite being phased out) then only the Elite and Arcade models will remain. The current rumor also states the Elite will sell for a price of $299 instead of the current $399. But like the PS3 slim this rumor has not yet been officially confirmed or denied.
If you currently own a 360 and you have very few games (like me), then Capcom's $40 dollar Platinum Hits triple pack collection may be an extremely tempting buy. Personally, I could care less for Dead Rising, but Lost Planet and Devil May Cry 4 are definitely deal makers.
While the Wii may be in slight decline the DSi is doing quite well. Its US launch was more successful than the Wii, original DS and even the DS Lite. Apparently having an "i" in the name of your product works wonders, take note Sony. Or not, but having sold 1.7 million units since launching in April is pretty impressive. And across the Atlantic Germany has overtaken the UK as the largest video game market in Europe.
Forget the X-Men, thriving on fewer than six hours of sleep per night is a genetic mutation that many people wouldn't mind having.

This hand of mine burns with an awesome power. It tells me to defeat you!
Take this! My love, my anger and all of my sorrow!
I absolutely do not want people to be able to survive on less sleep. Don't believe for a second the extra time would go to leisure, oh no. It would go to increased expectations from work, especially for salaried persons not eligible for overtime.
Perhaps that sums up exactly what the one guy was feeling when his Gundam models were tossed out. Unfortunately, he didn't think about the consequences beyond that...
It seems that only a very few people can live on less sleep as be as healthy as someone who sleeps a full eight hours. Though you're right, most people would spend that extra time working themselves to death.
