The PS3 takes it's first, faltering steps along the loong road to Being Worth Buying.
Of course this only counts for a small window of time because in The Future we will all be downloading our HD movies and the idea of having a little shiny disc inna box will be as outdated as real trees and eating for pleasure.

Altair's shopping list
1. Bow and arrow
All the other guys have these - they seem really good. Much better than my throwing knives
that don't go very far and run out too fast
2. Telescope
What's the point of me climbing up these dead high buildings if when I get up there the
ground's so far away I can't see anything? I realise it's the middle ages but how about one of those two-balls-of-glass-wrapped-in leather things Morgan Freeman had in Robin Hood? That was set round about this time right? And it had respected US actor Kevin Costner in so it must have been historicaly accurate.
3. Rope
Now I'm really really good at climbing walls. It's one of the things I'm best at! But even I
can't climb a blank wall that's too high and sooner or later people are going to stop leaving handy ladders around. My last job someone conveniently left some scaffolding up, but
I think you'll agree we can't rely on that happening all the time! A nice long rope with a grapple on the end would stop a lot of mucking about.
4. Another outfit
I like my nice white outfit and it's very handy for blending in with scholars, but that's no good if there are no scholars around is it? Also, I don't know if you've noticed, but not many scholars carry great big swords around, frankly I'm suprised it's fooled anyone. A guard's outfit would be a lot more practical kthx.
I'm sure if the stuff I'm doing is so important we can run to a few bits and pieces.
cheers!
