Here are TWO good devices...nice Christmas gifts!!!

The Xbox, despite troubles with overheating, is a seriously cool gaming system, and not only that it is a Media Center. Microsoft seem to be playing more and more on the fact that people like all-in-one systems, either computers or gaming.

Why install a 3rd party application, or in this case use the stereo or DVD Player, when the Xbox 360, does it all. With extended support for Media Center computers and compatibility with MP3 Players. Microsoft played it cool here...but enough has been said about this. Lets take a look at my favourite device, the PSP (i am getting one :P )

------------

The PSP is Sony's first effort at Handheld gaming, but with the PSP you get more than just games. Sony have brought out a Disk for the PSP, that allows people to watch films and on the move.

Next the good thing with the PSP is that it works with your computer, it can replace a media player, a dvd player and ALMOST a PDA. YES thats right you can browse the web, from your PSP!! HOW COOL IS THAT...WHOO!!

The games for it are popular titles, anyone considering the Gameboy's or other devices, must take a look first at this handheld gaming system.

Most (65% or so) of the titles for the PSP are movies, not games. Also, they are not selling the units at anything even close to projections. Nintendo continues to dominate the handheld space.

I'm not going to use the DVD player when I am driving and besides... Pioneer is smart, they don't allow it when the car is on... only in accessory mode.
