No TVs, DSLRs, or iPods yet though. But, if you need a blue 8GB Zune in your mailbox tomorrow afternoon, Amazon’s got one ready to ship out immediately.

Hopefully, Amazon will expand its offerings quickly and finally put an end to this Future Shop-Best Buy monopoly (monopoly, not duopoly – Best Buy bought out Future Shop) on Canada’s consumer electronics market.

Xavier: Renegade Angel premiere is tonight at 6 p.m.

Xavier: Renegade Angel, the new show from Vernon Chatman and John Lee (of the Wonder Showzen fame), centers around Xavier, half-man, half-bird superhero with a snake for left arm, who travels the world “[f]acing rednecks, inflicting righteousness and preaching religiously about the ‘strong, silent types’ and moralism.”

The premiere’s at 6 p.m. ET on [adult swim], which, of course, is not available in Canada.

I guess I’ll be watching it… umm… some other way that may or may not be entirely legal.

Update: The first episode has now been posted in full.

Ding-dong, the witch is dead?
