iPhone Arrives July 11 At Rogers Stores- Monthly Plans Aren’t Going To Be Cheap =(

Rogers has announced their iPhone plans and they’re not going to be cheap =(

iPhone Package

In addition to the relatively high price for their minutes and data plan, Rogers wants an extra $15 per month for Caller ID. Couple that with their System Access Fee of $6.95 CAN (?) and then add GST on top of that and the lowest iPhone plan will approach $90 CAN per month. Ouch!
I’m still not sure if I want an iPhone that badly, but if any of you do, please keep in mind that there are limited quantities at each Rogers location. And that you will have to activate the phone when you purchase it.
I guess my options are either: suck it up and pay the $299 CAN for the 3G iPhone (16 GB) and the $90 CAN monthly fee or purchase a 2G iPhone on eBay or craigslist and go on a pay-as-you-go plan. I’ll have to decide before Friday, July 11. Decisions, decisions…

Â That’s rights, folks- mark Friday, July 18 on your calendars for one of the biggest movies of the summer! Cristian Bale, Morgan Freeman, and Heath Ledger star in this big-budget extravaganza. The story picks up right where “Batman Begins” left off; the introduction of the Joker!

2 Old + 3 New Restricted Cards In Magic Vintage (Type 1) Events!

Post author By iRoy
Post date July 1, 2008

As Of June 20, 2008 the following cards will be restricted in Vintage (Type 1) events:*Brainstorm*Flash

*Gush

*Merchant Scroll

*Ponder

“Gush” and “Merchant Scroll” are no stranger to the Vintage (Type 1) Restricted List- in fact, didn’t WOTC just unrestrict “Gush” a little while ago? Anyways, this is the official list and thanks to Andrew for the heads up! By the way, Andrew says that WOTC’s Gatherer hasn’t been updated, so if you use the Gatherer to determine whetther or not a card is restricted or banned when you’re making a deck, the Gatherer won’t have the most current banned and restricted list.Â

For those of you who would like to try and are able to preorder the 4th edition giftset (1 Player’s Handbook + 1 Dungeon Master Guide + 1 Monster Manual), we’ll be running special game demos in June.Â
