Feb 9 2010Michael Jackson Commemorative Hard Drive

Available February 24th for a scant $123, this commemorative Michael Jackson "This is It" hard drive is a monster piece of how the hell did this ever become a real product? And to think I couldn't find a single manufacturer willing to roll out my line of Geekologie laptops. I dunno, something about the 1.21 jiggawatts processor. Amateurs.
Under the hood, you get a S2 Portable HXMU050DA, with 500 GB capacity on USB 2.0. Oh, and a DRM locked copy of This Is It. Don't worry, you'll also get a little voucher with the activation code you need to watch it. Heaven help you if you want to burn it to a DVD to watch anywhere other than on your computer.
Who the hell would ever buy that? I know people love Michael Jackson and all, but still, You gotta draw the line somewhere. And that line should be right after MJ bobble heads.

Thanks to Van, who was shocked to find out it doesn't come preloaded with the boys section of a JC Penny catalog. WOCKA WOCKA WOCKA!

Long live the robots.
Since "OLD" is a reference to time, and time is an abstract concept created by carbon-based lifeforms to monitor their ongoing decay,
The answer is NEVER!!!
9. Patrick the Patrick Patrick - February 9, 2010 4:07 PM
eh.
Its for people who are batshit insane about MJ.
Would be neat if it came with a giant discography of his stuff already on it.
10. your mom is my whore - February 9, 2010 4:14 PM

time isn't an abstract concept.
and it will get old for you. i am guessing that you are aware of GW and the collective's dislike for robots so you it appears fairly obvious that you are trolling. Nobody has bitten except for me to tell you that you need some new material.
After some time of no response you will post under a new name and find something else to say. Maybe you should write "FIRST!!!!111", I heard that's what the cool kids are doing these days.

At first I thought it was a lighter.. Which would have been more appropriate since He has been on fire before.
14. Batarangmandan - February 9, 2010 4:37 PM
So is it mostly made of plastic?
15. Ragnarok - February 9, 2010 4:38 PM
It's packaged as a floppy. To make it a hard drive you have to rub it on a six-year-old.

@11 while I couldn't agree more with you regarding asperfluxs' redundancy & calls for attention, never encourage someone to firstard their comments my good man. There's plenty of losers doing that here already... and while it doesn't entirely ruin our fun little geekologie family, they're sure as shit trying to
17. stJoseph - February 9, 2010 4:52 PM
@16
Although your advice is very wise, i wouldnt be suprise if hes already a firstard.

if you haven't seen the movie i don't want to ruin it for you but he dies in the end...

@15 Well Done Sir...

Little Michael is awesome. His music is truly really inspiring. He inspires me to be a better person when I listen to his music. He was a very talented human being and he was such a beautiful person. You all are filled with jealousy, and hate for a man who you know nothing about. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. May my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ shun your souls from heaven. And may you all burn in hell for the way you are talking about him. How would you like it if I talked about all of you like that? Just accept him into your hearts and care for him.

25. KBOTZ - February 9, 2010 6:54 PM
@21 homosexuality is a sin is it not? Oh wait, the church touches more little boys than anyone....n/m
26. J - February 9, 2010 7:29 PM
@21 if he was such a beautiful person why did he choose to alter his physical appearance so much. Face it, he was a kiddy fiddling, baby dangling freak whos obsession with changing his appearance did so much damage to him physically he had to depend on prescription medicine to so he could 'function' to a point where he Od'ed on them. The only good thing he ever did was save the environment one less buried body because he was more than likely 99% recyclable.

At first glance I thought this was a peripheral for the wii
28. Amanda - February 9, 2010 10:26 PM
@26 He chose to alter his physical appearance because he wanted to reflect who he truly was as a person. The way he saw himself. And to me and many other people that right there is an inspiration to many. He wasn't afraid of what people thought of him. He has had to deal with a bunch of ridicule and harassment. And even lies about his sexual preference for many years of his life. But he died happy, and being the King of Pop. No one will ever be as great as a man as him. I pray for you every night Michael.
@25 God will forgive our sins. Jesus died on the cross for us. So we can live sin free. If Michael was a homosexual, he will be forgiven. He never did anything to harm anyone.
xxRIP MJxx

MJ is a legend people. He suffered childhood trauma - leading to his longing for a childhood (Neverland; he isn't a child molester) and he had Vitiligo, causing him to lose his pigmentation in his skin. I plan to order this harddrive, because Michael Jackson IS the King of Pop.
32. Alex - February 10, 2010 3:58 AM
on first look this hard drive looks awsome people. but then it disapoints me as i can just build a 2TB ext for like $100, which is much better than a 500 for $123 if they released it with all of his music, videos and movies i would say hell to the price tag i'ma getting this drive and it would be well worth its cost but as it is it sucks ass and i will never get this drive.

It keeps saying "This Is It" but it doesn't seem to stop.
35. Jim Jones - February 10, 2010 4:04 PM
Awesome. It should have pre-installed utilities to help hide the child porn.
