Reloading... Special Delivery

RELOADING...
Yesterday afternoon I received a delivery parcel. I wasn't expecting anything so it came as a surprise. I read the label and it was something from SOE. Could it be something cool like preview materials for a new game? Was it an early alpha version of PlanetSide 2? I unwrapped the parcel hurriedly, reached inside and grasped a soft cloth material. "Bleh," thought I, it's only a T-shirt. I pulled the fabric from its container, glanced down and immediately dropped what I had been holding.It was a diaper. Yes, Sony Online Entertainment had sent me a diaper.
I picked up the envelope and peered inside to see if I could find some sort of explanation. Inside was a note:
"Dear Ben,
In anticipation of your first hands-on with PlanetSide 2 at E3 we'll expect you'll be needing this."
Well played, SOE. Well played.

haha that is awsome!!!
This is getting a bit more sutjcebive, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of neighbors will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune Social is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
