    Actually it does a good job of keeping the heat in. It stays hot a LOT longer than a normal sized cup.
    The more hot water there is in a mug the longer it takes to cool. It probably has something to do with surface area or w/e. Kind of like if you break your food up and spread it out it takes less time to cook.

    There's something else about latent energy or some shit that my science teacher told me about back when I was in school but I don't remember what it is.

    Recently my ps3 slim decided it wanted to stop reading discs and start scratching them. Of course, the warranty has expired. So instead of wasting money on a replacement blu ray drive or Sony's overpriced repair service, I've pre-ordered the new ps3 "super slim". Which comes with a 500GB HDD, Gran Turismo 5 Academy Edition & Uncharted 3 GOTY Edition for a total of €283.
    I will be tranferring data from my old HDD onto the new HDD, sell GT5AE & U3GOTY and my broken slim on eBay to those seeking spare parts. I'm pretty sure I will be covering at least 50% of the costs.
    Yes, the new hardware revision is fugly but I much prefer a top-loading system to a slot-loading one as it's literally impossible for a top-loader to swallow and chew up discs.

    Here are a few of Youtube unboxing videos for your entertainment:
    - Gamespot
    - IGN
    - VideoGamer
    - CVG

    I just bought Red Orchestra 2 and a TT eSPORTS Shock One headset. I've never had a "gaming headset" before, so I'm quite excited.

    You are going to love it, Darkbringer! I've been using Astro A40's for about two years now. Best gaming investment I've ever made.

    Bought the new Triple Pack for x360, it includes the excellent Outland, Beyond Good & Evil HD and From Dust on a single disc. I caved and bought the DOOM 3: BFG Edition for x360 as well, something tells me I'm going to regret it...

    This is not some Astro fanboy comment but I'm a musician and I know audio. I have yet to hear something that rivals the A40's in terms of sound quality. Combined with the 5.8 mixamp; all the mids, highs and lows are perfectly balanced. On top of that: the A40's are closed headsets (note: with speaker tags), whereas the Sennheiser PC360 are open which not only leaks more sound out of the headset but reduces the bass levels significantly.

But if you want,just the best sound for the price get senn hd508 there tge best sub 400 in terms of quality. But the best heads avalible are hd800 and no1 can arfue with that however they cost an unholy amount.

    I'm from Austria and that's only because the german rating-system (USK) is so stupid. I want to buy it from directly from the Ubistore you know. I don't like amazon and all these shops so much - even if the games are cheaper sometimes...

    I'm planning on getting six new games, because my birthday is coming up. They're all for PS3, which is great as it has been a while since the last time I bought a console game. :D
