- 11:00am EST – 11:29am EST Microsoft – Xbox 360 Elite Console
- 11:30am EST – 11:59am EST Ultimate Game Chair – Ultimate Game Chair V3
- 12:00pm EST – 12:29pm EST Panasonic – 50″ 720p Flat-Panel Plasma HDTV

The picture is better, though they tend to be more prone to burn-in.

Sure, but the plasma downstairs doesn’t have any burn-in, despite the XMB being up for hours at a time. [shrugs]
