Today is a news medley

Let's see -

Joystick asks us what games are scary (in light of Halloween today). They mentioned AVP which naturally made me giggle like a school girl. I voted for Condemned. Sorry Resident Evil.

The PS3 is going to be short-handed in Japan this holiday. But we all knew it would be. This problem has a high probability of affecting the States as well. Joystiq suggests (surprise, surprise) that Sony is having parts problems.

Sorry Pinky Sony, you can't take over the world (again) quite yet.

Anyone complain about the 360's not-to-be-so-ridiculous-in-a-moment power consumption? Kotaku reports that the PS3 will use over twice as many watts (380) as the 360 does (160). Power brick or not, that is a lot of damn juice. Burn those trees, Sony...burn 'em down fast. (Okay, okay...so my computer uses a 450W PS)

Those unscrupulous pirates modders get the "gift of brick" with today's 360 dashboard update. Eh, they probably deserved it, since homebrew isn't a viable excuse yet.

That's all I have time for today kiddies. Apologies of my lack of...well...anything yesterday. You'll live, although my 360 feels different.
