Yet another week has passed, so it's time for another week in review - the 8th instalment already. This week was marked by the realisation that Qemu and DOSBox on mobile phones are cool, that Apple is working hard on Safari 4, and that Microsoft appears to be more concerned about Linux than about Apple. And, of course, Haiku got Flash. This week's My Take is about zombies.

I want large controllers, and the ability to stuff normal, AA batteries in them. I don't like recharge packs or fixed batteries.
And yes, the XBox is cheap. I guess that's why it runs circles around the overpowered, overcomplicated, and overpriced PS3 in all the sales stats
. The PS3 is cool, but too expensive for me.

Well I recently got myself an XBox 360 aswell, mainly because my PS2's drive died and I need my Pro Evolution Soccer tournament fix every sunday (family gathering traditional thing). I've heard alot of horror stories about hardware problems with X360 but sofar everything has been dandy, guess in that respect it pays to be late in the game. I thought about going for the PS3, but atleast here in Sweden, PS3 was more expensive so a 360 it is and I'm certainly satisfied with it.
Anyway, it's not like you can go wrong no matter which system you choose this time around, since they all will be plenty supported until they are eclipsed by the next generation of consoles. For once there's no loser (although Nintendo's Wii seems to be the clear winner)

Actually atleast in Japan XBox360 is doing really badly, so it's certainly not running circles around PS3 in 'all the sales stats' as you claimed (in fact in this instance it's quite the opposite). And it's not as if Japan is a small console market either. But also in Japan, Wii is the dominant console. I wonder if we will ever see another PS2 in terms of market domination, I personally hope not as I'm a strong believer in competition yielding better products.

When the PS3 first came out, I thought it looked like a shiny version of the old modems you used to have to connect to your computer for dial-up.
I personally don't own anything except for a Game Cube, which I hardly ever use and usually only use for Mario Kart. I've got all the old Super and original Nintendo games emulated on my computer, though, not to mention a few GBA and N64. That's where it's at. Ah, classics.
Especially the 8-bit classics. Super Mario 3 still is genius.

Buy a PS3
It also has Linux (Best Game EVER!), MGS4, Killzone2, Little Big Planet etc.
And small controllers with rechargeable batteries, Wifi,Blu-Ray, upgradable harddrive and near silent operation.
Xbox is just cheap.
