I did not see that in his note sorry. He seemed to be putting down
the Wii which has developed a pretty good set of games to the Xbox
which still has one in development.
Sometimes it is fun sometimes it is frustrating. The way that Cell
phone companies play games I get very frustrated. If I want a good
phone I should not have it dictated to be which service I
can use. I live in an area that is best served with CDMA (Verizon,
Alltel has been sold off to AT&T here) However if I want a Pre I
have to go to Sprint? If I want an IPhone I have to go to AT&T both
of whose coverage in this are sucks?
So what do I do?
Sometimes it can be very fun and often it is just very frustrating.

Well...it's kinda hard for you to start dictating the terms of the thread,
especially when Chris started it and in the first email it was clear he was
talking about something not yet on the shelf.
I personally would not compare the Wii and the Xbox, I've said before that I
don't believe the two to be competitors. I don't own either one..nor a
PS3.
If we are only going to talk about things you can go buy now...that stops
any talk of anything new going on with iPhone or iPods...palm pre, any
number of things. Part of the fun is talking about things that are soon
coming, new technology being developed, if you don't like talking about it,
perhaps you should have stayed away from a thread that was clearly about new
tech.
