Yeah, I remember those days, too.

Oh, and if you're going to throw that YouTube video in my face, I just
happened to have rented POTC2 last night--as it just so conveniently
happens by circumstance--on a freshly 2.10 upgraded PS3:
Loaded in 10 seconds, played Liar's Dice without a single hitch, won
three games, and finally figured out the darn scene in the movie...Any
more strolls down Format-War Memory Lane?
