I have that kind of spam on my blog from time to time,too. But my favorite kind of spam-comment is the "paste-copy-comment", the "writer" (or bot) just copies two lines from your post and pastes it in a comment. I think spam is just part of the game. I don't get mad about it.

One paragraph in I was honestly afraid that yours was another of of those "97% of money-making schemes are scams, click here to avoid them" blogs, but I quickly realized that I had finally found a voice of sanity in amongst the hawkers. Keep it up. Too many people get roped into these bogus scams all day long. I hope that your writings will reach some of them and save the $49.99 into the wind syndrome :-) Nicely written, and a breath of fresh air!

I have seen the first one some 8-9 times and I am still not done with it. Eagerly waiting for The Dark Knight which comes to India (where I live) on the 19th of July so will be watching it ASAP. I am sure it's going to rock like the first part. Totally agree with you about Batman. I have seen the first one some 8-9 times and I am still not done with it.

Movies that still come out on physical media the next few years will come out on DVD & Blu-Ray, and I enjoy watching things when my internet is down. Since the PS3 has firmware updates via the internet and plays games and music and stuff like the XBox, it's still the best Blu-Ray player for the price. But that's apples and oranges as far as preference over the XBox 360.
