I'm sure it will be.
No time to watch it now, though; gotta get caught up on the baseball playoffs. 
(And in case any other Matrix fans are listening: This time, the Animatrix films are also in High Definition. On the old HD-DVD version, they weren't.)
Got FIFA09 today. 
Some Peanut M & Ms.
Any good? How does it compare to 08?Got FIFA09 today.
The Indiana Jones: KoTCS 2 disc special edition, the Star Trek Alternate Realities Fan Collective, Command and Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath expansion, and 2 new pairs of running shoes (one for town, one for trails).

I bought some groceries last night, as well as Season 8 on DVD of a particular show I am quite fond of..... what else? I paid my car insurance bill.
Did they clip out "the" scene?

If you mean that bit from Second Renaissance II? I've long since gotten over that.

It's better. Heading doesn't work quite as well as it used to and it still has the annoying online problem where it checks for squad updates every time you play (which means by the time you get in to the game the session has closed) but it's still better.
I've tried the PES 2009 demo and it's atrocious. Avoid. Really. Like the plague.
I just bought a new Freud biscuit joiner. I'm going to make a set of floor to ceiling book shelves.
Is it a dirty show? Something you can't tell us? Which show?

Much better.
It's much more responsive in almost everyway. Especially when dribbling and passing. The goal keeper is also faster and more responsive.
The visual quality has improved, in some places, especially the crowd scenes when you score, you can see them arms around each other waving club scarves. Brilliant! I especially like the new accessibility of the goal celebrations, I wasn't sure how to do those before, but now there are loads already there, and it subtly prompts you to use them after scoring... you can choose whichever celebration you want, no matter which player you're using. Fun!
There are more control pad vibrations when you hit the crossbar on the goal for example... I happen to like that myself, makes it feel more realistic. You can always switch that off if you're not into it.
You can also choose custom tactics... you can pretty much tune what you want, choosing between precision, speed of passing, crossing, anything... there's more choice, you can custumise a lot more stuff, easily and efficiently.
If you were expecting to find massive changes, there aren't really, but there are certainly a lot of cool improvements, and absolutely nothing is worse. The music soundtrack is about as good and diverse as the previous.
If you can spare the cash, go for it. If you can't 08, is still pretty impressive.
