I wanted to see what the general consensus had to say about it before plunking down my hard earned green backs. Ok, so they’re not so hard earned but that’s beside the point.

For instance, how would you like the ability to replay videos your favorite fight sequences, capture that perfect decapitating frame, and show it off to your e-friends?
