anyway, surely PS3 price will drop three months after launch when they realise people be baulking at the cost, and three months after that there might be some decent games.

I am trying to convince my mum-in-law that we could have lotsa happy good fun family times with a Wii, and thus procure one with her funds. I am sick of her pwning me & the fiance at Triv Pursuit and my Wii lust must be satiated soon before I get an aneurysm or something. I have not been this stoked on a thing since SNEs.

Bleah. Big whiff from the Onion on that one. I'm going to assume that Chris D. didn't write it.

WILMINGTON, N.C. - A young man accused of robbing a fellow college student of two new PlayStation 3 video game consoles was shot and killed - possibly while holding a game controller - by officers sent to arrest him.

Peyton Strickland, 18, was killed Friday at a house he shared with three roommates, Sheriff Sid Causey said.

Roommate Mike Rhoton said Strickland was unarmed when he got up from playing a Tiger Woods golf game but may have been holding a controller when he went to the door as officers bashed it in. Strickland's dog also was shot to death.

The sheriff said Strickland was shot by members of a specially trained team who went to help university officers serve arrest warrants. Causey said officers considered the arrest a high-risk situation.

"Anytime that someone beats a person severely and commits an armed robbery, I certainly would consider him a risk and a danger," Causey said.

The sheriff said the robbery victim waited in line for three days to buy the units for $641 each at a Wal-Mart. He was unloading them at his campus apartment when one man beat him to the ground while another took the consoles, Causey said.

He's supposed to be Koopa, and those guys behind him are supposed to be Goombas. That movie is so fucking weird.

i know! the movie is really creative in its interpretation of the game. sadly, it's also terrible.

i enjoyed its reinforcing of negative italian-american stereotypes.
