Blow Me

I love this shirt.  Who can forget the days of hyperventilating on your favorite Nintendo game to get the dust out for one more game?  Buy it here.  [via]

For all you people out there going crazy trying to get your hands on an Xbox 360, I thought you’d enjoy knowing that Steve Ballmer’s kids haven’t even gotten theirs yet.  [via]

XBox 360 without HD?

As bullish as I have been about the new XBox 360, I’ve been telling myself to wait a while to purchase one.  Aside from the isolated complaints about units overheating and the obvious fact that down the road they will become less expensive, my main gripe has been that I do not yet own a [...]

XBox 360 Sighting

Yesterday I was in Wal-Mart and I had the chance to see and play the XBox 360 for the first time.  As far as I know, Wal-Mart is the only place in the country where we anxious techies can get our hands on one.  It was worth the trip for a little early analysis.

Sony PSP Review

I wasn’t planning on buying one, but I happened to be in Best Buy the day of the PSP (PlayStation Portable) launch a few days ago.  I was surprised to see that after lunchtime they still had quite a few in stock.  So I did what any gadget-loving geek like myself would do…I bought one.
