Gamers with a heart!

I just had to share with you all a story that truly touched my heart (and I try not to let anything do that so this is huge). A good friend of mine- and HUGE gamer, has been anxiously awaiting the launch of the Wii so she could camp out in line, grab her new console and enjoy her wii-kend.

So she and her pals line up and they're group #595. Clearly this isn't at the front of the line. Anyway- as luck would have it- they got called up around 2:30 am because they are press, and she finally got her brand new Wii. So she's walking- nay, SKIPPING - home when she sees a mom sitting in line with two kids sleeping in her lap. Apparently it was one of the sons 11th birthday the next day and all his little heart wanted in this world was a Nintendo Wii. So....my friend sold her Wii for the same price she paid for it and went home Wii-less. She left with her sad Zelda game that she couldn't play...but made one kids eleventh birthday the BEST EVER. I love gamers :)

Wii vs. PS3

Tina — Fri, 06 Oct 2006 15:54:00 GMT

So rumor has it there will be 7-9 million Wii's made by 2007. Rumors are also circluating that the PS3 will have major supply and hardware issues (mostly blue-ray) when its released next month. Not to mention the price tag is going to be fairly steep. Which we are all aware of...$500.00 to $600.00 bucks not including any games. I have always been a microsoft fan girl but I also have a Playstation, PS2 and PSP. And I love my PSP. I'm curious what you guys think of this battle? I will admit now I will be one of the first in line for the Wii, but something about the PS3 is holding back my enthusiasm. Thoughts?
