The last rock LP (vinyl to you kids) I bought was Thriller, when it came out in 1982. The New York Times’ John Rockwell praised the album in his review, so I went to King Karol on 42nd Street and bought it. You can still get the vinyl Thriller LP at Amazon.com
So that brings me, 25 years later, to Halo 3. Still affected by the mass media, I read Ars Technica’s Halo 3 review and I pre-ordered it from Amazon.
DHL delivered it today. It’s my 4.11176471 x 10-8 contribution to Microsoft. That’s my $59.99 part of the $170M first day sales of Halo 3.
