Getting Used to New Technology

Let me just say that I am not a Microsoft Fanboy, but I own a Zune, Vista Laptop, and Xbox 360. The reason I have these is becuase it's what I am comfortable with and used to. I mean, how often do you buy something $300 or higher if you are taking a shot in the dark on whether you might like it or not? I don't like taking that kind of a chance. But recently, I have been breaking that tradition. In Febuary, I bought (shh) a PS3, mostly for the Bluray feature, but also for games. I haven't used the gaming functionality much, but the Bluray, I am enjoying too much. But yesterday, instead of breaking out my 360 controller and hopping onto Xbox Live (XBL) I turned on my PS3 and put in Rachet and Clank. I actually liked this game. It was fun, amusing and new! I didn't get very far, but I didnt have a lot of time. I did try to talk with my friends on the PSN (I an Overlord for the only PlayStation Clan: The UnderGround) but couldn't get with them. Although they do now have online play, their functionality is no where near what XBL is. But it is different and new.

Also in the theme of trying something new, I have started having the urge to buy a Mac Mini computer. I talked with King yesterday and he said that a Mac is wonderful and coming from him (he's a Windows Developer) is a BIG statement. I mostly want it for podcasting, video and photo editing, but the alure of getting something that is out of my norm, is powerful.
