When we moved, we arranged to turn on the cable at the new place early, so that there would be a short overlap in services. Ostensibly, this was so we would have TV and internet access in the new place before we actually moved, but while we were hanging around for the locks to be changed and things like that. In truth, it was also so we could hand in
the old cable remote with the old cable box, and enjoy the brand-spanking newness of a pristine cable remote. Oddly enough, the new box looks like an older model than the one we turned in, but the new remote is in mint condition. So far. The same can't be said for the remote to the new sound system, whose "VCR" button already has a dangling chunk. But hey, it's the 21st century. We don't have a VCR anymore!
Interestingly, the Xbox controller remains intact, despite Harley's best efforts.

We think he purchased a movie, though.
