I've been having thoughts all over the place tonight, while waiting on RP. One scene is planned, the other...is one I'm hoping for if the people involved log on. I trust.

But, I've just been wanting to get as many random thoughts off my chest, so I might keep the LJ window open and hammer them out as I go along.

Here's one: I don't have a credit card. I have a debit card, which takes money right out of my checking account. Now, my credit rating is imperfect, mostly due to student loans and one previous credit card used in college and a lack of enough of a job to pay it off all the time. Now, car payments, no matter how timely, don't change the credit rating. So, I've been considering actually getting a real credit card, making a purchase or two and pay it off that way, even if I have the money right now to pay it all.

And, to use as my primary example of this: I have the money. And, for a lot of reasons, I would like a Playstation 2 very much. I can afford it, tomorrow if I so felt like it. (I never thought I'd be so happy my car got flooded out, but...well, when in Rome, I suppose). And raka talking about Kingdom Hearts isn't helping. Square (Makers of Final Fantasy and Chrono Cross), and Disney mixed...it really is too cool to pass up. And there will be a Suikoden 3, I'm positive. And maybe a sequel to Chrono Cross.... And, most important for me: A DVD player. And the LotR Special Edition coming in November.

So, should I do it? I'd love a better credit rating.

Yes. Just be sure you pay everything off right away. It's worth it for improving your rating.

You know that a PS2 _is_ a DVD player, right?
You might want to get the DVD remote for it, which will require you also get an extra 8meg PS2 memory card. The reason being, the DVD remote seems to be an improvement on the builtin DVD code.

Whee!

PS2 DVD

I was under the impression from reading the entry that not only was he aware that it was a DVD player, but this was one of the reasons for buying one.

I'll concur that the remote makes the unit a bit more viable as a DVD player. If that's one reason for getting the console, then add in the price of the remote as part of the price of the PS2.

Of course, it's still worth it. :)

Yeah... It wasn't clear to me if that was what he meant, or a separate DVD player was also on the list, hence the comment.

Just to clear up, yeah, I know it comes with a DVD player. That's a selling point for me. :)
