This should be pretty self-evident. The Sony fan boys who camped out to buy themselves a PS3 now have an expensive (AU$1k minus the even more expensive HD TV that you will need to see any difference from a Wii or PS2) box allegedly without any good games. Nice one!</p> <p>I was talking to someone last night who said she would rather play my yet to be implemented retro <i>Orange Attack</i>^{[<a href="#20070702.08391">1</a>]}, than all the complications and the internets and everything rolled up into a little ball.</p> <p>Ahh the iPhone. Already predicted to be the next iPod right^{[<a href="#20070702.08392">2</a>]}?

If you do the math you will notice that I sent it back broken once and they didn’t even fix it! All this, mind you, with a device that had been out for <i>years</i> by the time I got it.
