Comments on: One more reason not to buy a PS3 http://www.distantparts.com/2007/02/23/134/ Random thoughts from a far off place Mon, 01 Dec 2008 20:46:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Steven http://www.distantparts.com/2007/02/23/134/#comment-5705 Steven Mon, 02 Apr 2007 13:11:29 +0000 http://www.distantparts.com/2007/02/23/134/#comment-5705 Andrew, Given my past record on buying gadgets, I'd have to very brave to take your bet. However, I am struggling to see why I'd have one by the end of the year. My only must have game (on any platform) is Forza 2 on the Xbox 360, which is coming out in May. I had been looking forward to Tiger Woods 2007 on the Wii, but the reviews haven't been very kind to it, so I'm probably going to wait for the inevitable 2008 version. Andrew,

Bought Excite Truck on Friday and had a great time playing with it over the weekend. Less than three weeks to Tiger Woods on Wii, which should be another great game. It also helps that unlike the PS3 and Xbox 360, the backwards compability of the Wii is perfect. I do wish that they'd made it capable of 720p though, as 480p just looks so low res in comparison. Still, it's about having fun, not admiring pretty pictures. I heard that song over the weekend, and it gets better each time I listen to it :-)
