Twenty Ninth Street Store Grand Opening
W00t! Seems Apple really likes me, or at least people in my general area. Tomorrow is the grand opening of the newest Apple store, Boulder, Colorado's Twenty Ninth Street location. Par usual for store openings, the first thousand people through the door get special limited edition t-shirts, and can enter for a chance to win fabulous prizes. I'll try and make it up to Boulder to get in line by 7:30, but if one of you early rising readers is going to be there and wants to keep a place in line for me, I would be forever in your debt. I'll be there with my Flatiron Crossing grand opening shirt and etched-out PowerBook blogging and interviewing store staff and excited line-waiters alike.
FFIII, as far as the eye can see
The staff at Siliconera was kind enough to drop us an e-mail announcing that they survived the lines and were having a blast with their shiny new copy of Final Fantasy III. They've been churning out video footage in order to share their experience with the world ... and maybe to brag, just a little. They've got the opening movie, as well as the first moments of the game, which we've included above. This is particularly interesting, as not only do we see some of the controls here, but the remake deviates a bit from the original.Yes, that means spoilers. Skip this if you want to experience it for yourself! And check out the rest of their videos. [Thanks, Siliconera!]
