Saturday Afternoon



I tore myself away from my PS3 Saturday and went down to the Sony Store. It's divided up into two sections: TV's and PS3, headphones, Mp3 players, etc. There's even a Starbucks inside.

Again I thought the store was poorly merchandised. It was difficult finding the PS3 area. I should see it big as day. Oh well, I just hope Sony gets it together for the E3 conference in June.

Prototype

I thought I had gotten over my squemishness with video game violence, but the following trailer for Prototype looks intense.  All I think about is, "kids play this"?

Gaming quote

I heard this great quote about the 3 big players in the gaming world.

  • Microsoft owns the office
  • Sony owns the living room
  • Nintendo owns the closet

Yep and it's so true. People who bought into the hype of the Wii think it's great, but if you ask them when they play it they normally say, "when people are over". Eventually it gets shelved into the closet until company comes over to play.
