xbox 360 gets returned a lot
By Ravenhawk | July 18, 2007
Now, I don’t normally post this sort of thing in this blog, and I like to stay out of the console wars, but I have been greatly amused lately by the amount of Xbox 360s which are being returned to Walmart. I take care of bringing the returns to the back really often and while I’ve seen a lot while working there, in the last week there were at least half a dozen. And because during the weekends the returns don’t get removed from the back, there was a large pile of Xbox 360s.
When I look at that pile, I can help but feel it makes a statement. Especially when you take into account that I’ve never seen a Wii or Playstation 3 returned…

More time in the Sandbox: HOME
By Ravenhawk | March 19, 2007
I recently watched a trailer for Home on the Playstation 3. It was almost enough to make me want to get a Playstation 3.
If it weren’t for that huge price tag and my lack of an income anyway.
Home in the most basic form is a giant chat room for Playstation 3 users with full customizable avatars. Add to this private areas which users can decorate themselves, TVs and stereos which can play media off your HD, etc. and it still sounds, for the gamer who isn’t into socialization just for the sake of socialization, pretty boring.
The excitement comes in, for me at least, with the fact that you can meet up with the random people in the public areas and then launch multiplayer PS3 games with their newly found companions.
The guilding possibilities are endless. Add in a cool guildhall in a private area, and you’re set. I don’t know if they actually have any plans for adding “groups” in Home. But if they did, I’m might be tempted to get one. Tempted being the key word.
Until Next time, Comrades.
