Winter pre-order update #1 February 25, 2009

The first round of pre-orders came out yesterday (Tuesday) and promptly arrived at my front porch.  The items were:
Jeff Kashiwa, “Back In The Day”
Pieces Of A Dream, “Soul Intent”
“Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder” (DVD)
“Super Bowl XLIII Champions: Pittsburgh Steelers” (DVD)

After bringing everything in, opening the packaging, and unwrapping, I ripped (loaded CD tracks from) “Back In The Day” and “Soul Intent” to my computer.  I didn’t get to watch the “Futurama” DVD or listen to the CDs, but I did watch the Super Bowl XLIII DVD.  It was in widescreen format, which was zoomed by my HD upconversion DVD player.  That’s why I love the player.

I’ll get around to CD listening in the next day or so.
