Sorry for saying “DDR2” it was a paraphrase, not a quote. The point was I thought Amy’s lines were quite funny. I’ve been mostly unimpressed with this season - but I liked this episode in general. Brian ---

And another thing … The show more or less tracks calendar time. Holiday episodes occur near that holiday, people going away for the summer occurs during the summer break, etc. Most notably _The Adhesive Duck Deficiency_ episode aired November 16, 2009 and the incident was later mentioned in _The Excelsior Acquisition_ as having taken place on November 16th. So why is Sheldon shopping for game consoles that came out over 4 months ago? He would have bought at least one of them during the first days of sales. What’s a Zune? ---

ftg - Possibly Sheldon has spent those last four months _considering_ making a decision between the two. ---

A “Zune” was Microsoft’s answer to the iPod. It flopped. ---
