Hasta La Gadget!

About a week ago Paul Thurrott put together a great feature comparison guide for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and the Wii. He highlights many of the features that tech enthusiasts love to know about, like the processors and included RAM.

The comparisons don’t always have to be serious though, do they? Nah, and the one that The Onion posted is sure to give you a laugh. Here is a listing of a few comparisons they make between the PS3 and the Wii:

• Cost
  • PS3: F$#%ing ridiculous
  • Wii: Reasonably ridiculous
• Ability to tear apart families
  • PS3: Second-to-none
  • Wii: Pretty strong, though mostly because everyone wishes it were a PlayStation instead
• The way your peers will view you
  • PS3: “Dude! Can I come over and play that shit?”
  • Wii: “I’ll come over, but don’t tell anybody, okay?”
• Love of owner
  • PS3: This much
  • Wii: Thiiis much

There are a few other comparisons that they make but I just couldn’t help but laugh when I was reading them. Hope you like it as much as I did.

You’d think that Nintendo would have caught up to the Wii demand by the time the holiday season rolls around in December, but their senior vice president of marketing, George Harrison says that there’s no guarantee.  In fact, he says that the consoles will be scarce this holiday season. Scarce?! That’s what he said.

It’s hard for me to believe that one entire year after launch and the Wiis will still be a hard-to-find item. Harrison went on to say, “We’re trying to figure out what’s the reasonable monthly level, and as we’ve seen every time we ship product to the market, whether it’s in Japan or here in the U.S. or in Europe, it sells out in a matter of days.”I know some of you can vouch for this too.

For those of you who have managed to get your hands on a console, get ready for 100 new games by the end of the year! And of course along with those games will come more accessories. The one I’m most excited about (assuming I eventually get a Wii) is “The Wii Wheel” to go along with Mario Kart for Wii, of course! I’ve always been a Mario Kart fan, and the Wii Wheel would probably actually be pretty nifty. Two more accessories include  a “balance board” which will be used for fitness and exercise activities, and the “Wii Zapper” for shooting games.

While Microsoft is leading the pack with the amount of consoles sold-to-date (they had a head-start though), the Wii is catching up. Nintendo of America’s President even made the prediction at E3 (video-game convention currently going on) that the “Wii is poised to become number one worldwide in this generation very soon. Nintendo is not a fad.” With that, I guess it helps to explain why the Wii will still be a scarce commodity come December.

Kids of all ages love tablets, but not every tablet is suitable for fingers covered in peanut butter and jelly. We’re thinking the latest from LeapFrog would handle that situation without complaint and, with its chunky construction, should make it home undamaged after show and tell. It’s the LeapPad Explorer, shipping this summer, a 5-inch color tablet will let kids draw, play games, and of course learn all about reading, writing, and arithmetic. There’s also a built-in camera and, while we’re guessing FaceTime support isn’t likely to be coming in a future update, there is an animation studio app that will let kids have fun with whatever video they record. It’s all enough to make one very jealous of Junior, and an MSRP of $99.99 doesn’t even sound that bad.

Prepare yourself for the best, most enthralling gaming experience of your life. No, it’s not the newest-fangled of the fangles, it’s not the latest tech around. It’s just The Great Gatsby, lovingly squeezed into an NES game (well, it’s really a stylized Flash game, but you know what we mean). The game itself is sort of a cross between Castlevania and Super Mario Bros., and that’s just fine with us. In fact, it’s the greatest thing we’ve seen all week. Hit up the source link and get to wasting the rest of your day.

EA Sports isn’t one to give things away, but that’s exactly what it’s doing on RIM’s BlackBerry PlayBook. We still haven’t heard a concrete ship date for this thing, but EA swears up and down that these two titles will be finalized by the time it goes to market. Both Tetris and Need For Speed: Undercover will come pre-loaded on the device, with both being full, unabridged versions; in fact, NFS will feature a new mode specifically designed for getting into the game quickly on this very tablet. Smartly, there’s even a “slo mo” mode which slows everything down to enable accurate control even during hectic rides on the subway. We’ve lauded the PlayBook before, but we were duly impressed with just how well this thing handled multitasking. Even with NFS running in the background, we were able to play back a video in the foreground with nary a bit of lag during the transition. Tetris was predictably Tetris, and it only works when holding the slate vertically. We’ve got to confess that the inclusion of these two titles is quite the gesture, and considering the first four letters of this product’s name, we’d say it’s more than fitting. Hop on down to see a demonstration video of both, showcased here at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
