thanks DP, henceforth I would presume
If you're compiling April Fool's jokes, here's one. Though it is plausible:
Sony announced today that they're releasing a clip-on ultrathin DVD player for your Playstation Portable. Priced at $89.99, the DVD into PSP (DiP) lacks its own screen and, alas, won't connect to your TV set. (Bet someone hacks a way to do this in about 10 minutes!) But, thanks to the PSP's USB hookup, it will permit you to watch your DVD collection on the go.
More at www.gamestay.com, including a picture.
truth is stranger than fiction
Culture is still edging ahead at 6, but Music at 4 is not far behind. Books and Video share last place with 2 each.
Chris Beaumont gets the prize (so far) for most sub-categories, though.
Chris is notorious for his subcat promiscuity
great posts everyone, very clever and original
