As much as I talked about and defended resellers, I’m glad to see that PS3’s aren’t going for $3000 on Ebay anymore. A few days ago I was in favor of a rematch between OSU/Michigan for the championship game. Now I’m convinced that someone else should get a shot. Hopefully Notre Dame, if only to make my brother happy this holiday season. The topic’s already beaten to death and there’s no stopping it until maybe March or so. Anyway, something seems wrong with two teams playing consecutive games against each other and one being a championship. Actually, now that I’m writing this, I can’t really decide. I’m a fence sitter.
I just checked Dan’s site, and it looks like this will be a little longer than I thought. Stealing ideas is so hot right now. Here I present Five Things I Think Aboutǃ? Gaming:
1 Check the first sentence of this entry.
2 Microsoft’s got the best online network and that seems to be far more important to American gamers than to the Japanese.
3 Elite Beat Agents is hysterical. Seriously. It’s also pretty fun.
4 Even though Tekken 2 looks better than some Wii games, I think the system will succeed. It’s definitely priced well. I’m in the camp that thinks everyone will get a Wii to complement their 360 or PS3 and that it’s not actually in direct competition with the other two consoles.
5 I have a better chance of winning bronze in the women’s 100m dash at Beijing 2008 than Microsoft has of toppling Nintendo or Sony in Japan.
Now a weather report. If you live in Seattle, there’s some scary lightning strikes around town. Try not to get hit. Just remember the basics (Don’t run around in open fields, don’t climb to the very tops of trees, don’t star as Jesus in movies, etc.) and you should be fine.
