The larger drive is beneficial for copying the game discs to. It keeps you from having to listen to the annoying hum of the DVD drive spinning.

When I did it 5 years ago for a flatbed tailor kit I got on-line it was a pain in the ass. There is something similar to a title that the manufacturer was supposed to have included with the kit.. but didn't. Without it the DMV wouldn't process the paperwork. It took 3 week to show up after I called to request it before I could go get permanent plates for it.

Metro. There is parking available in private lots around the stadium for ~$10-30, but in my experience nothing is easier than just taking the metro down.

Sprint has lower priced "everything" plans, but their service isn't 100% everywhere. Their selection of smart phones is currently dismal as well, especially when looking for droid phones. They are going to be offering 4g phones by the summer, and if rumors be true, they are going to be releasing a pretty nice driod phone to go along with the roll-out.

Unless you are in the Dewers/Acela Club it's usual ball park fair (hot dogs, pretzels, fries, chicken sandwiches and crap and a few $7+ Budweiser beers). Go early and get eat and drink at Bar Loui, RFD or one of the other restaurants around there. They all have pretty good happy hours before the game.

100% agree with your list, I'll just add : - Buy a tunnel boring machine, put it in the ground by Dulles Airport and send it on a circle through VA, MD and back to where it started from. Now put a metro line in that tunnel. Being able to metro to places without having to go to DC would be a huge bonus.

Any bar with DirectTV, Cox, Fios, Comcast... and even Dish Network have Comcast Sports Net if it's included in their paid for programming package. You just won't get VS on DirectTV. All the other providers still have the channel if it's included in whatever programming package they pay for. Sucks that the free NHL Center Ice preview on DirectTV ended last weekend though.

I've ordered an OEM copy.. and considering stepping up to an SSD to run it off of. Anyone had any experience installing it on an SSD? Ive heard horror stories of it killing the drive, but also read other of it actually being smart enough to know to turn off defrag and enable trim support.
