Battlefield 2 Beta Patch by Christmas

The Electronic Arts UK Community Forums have a couple of updates from DICE about the long-awaited version 1.5 patch for Battlefield 2. Back in September EA announced the version 1.50 update for the military shooter sequel would be delayed to this winter sometime to allow them to address a couple of exploits. Word is they are looking to release a beta version of the patch by Christmas: "The beta would be for everyone that wants to install it, the more people that do the better feedback we get and we don't have an update 1.30 again. That update alone set us on the road of public beta to stop it from happening in another update. The plan is to get it out before Christmas yes." Thanks Ant and Planet Battlefield.

Out of the Blue

MrsBlue broke her cell phone, and with our contract no longer current, it looks like we'll have to subject ourselves to the ordeal of shopping for a new plan as well. It doesn't seem right that shopping for mobile phones and plans should have that same creepy "you're getting ripped-off" air that you get when shopping for a car. I guess the fact that car shopping has been that way as long an anyone can remember suggests that this situation with phone deals will not change anytime soon.
