The industry of mobile devices has never been more prevalent and Apple is the clear leader.

@Madgame: Oh grow up. The only thing Nintendo and Apple have in common is a handheld gaming device so it's obvious he's referring to the iPhone and iPod touch as competition to the DS.

I haven't played the latest version of Sonic but I'm guessing that this 4 minute fan remix is a thousand times better.

@Jason346: I agree with you but I also agree with GoldVrod.

@ericesque: I thought the same thing too (I think I wrote that but then deleted it to keep my comment pithy).

I've never been a big fan of the Zune player but I'm a HUGE fan of the desktop app and love that they're injecting that aesthetic into not only their new phone OS but also the 360 and now the website.

@DunnCarnage: I use my debit card all the time on XBL. As long as you have the Visa or MC logo on your card it should work.

PS3 app is incredible. Playback and search are really fast and the quality is unreal.

@Andrew from FabulousSavings: And it looks even better on the Retina Display. I noticed some artifacting during the transitions that don't happen on my iPhone or Mac.

Thirty-some years of gaming, dozens of game systems and (probably) millions of peripherals and this is the best they could come up? Stroking a smooth, white sawed-off broom stick into a high-tech tissue box to simulate banging some chick's clam in a sterile white room?

@joey23art: Only Apple knows for sure but I think it'll happen sooner than anyone expects.

The interface seems nice enough. Not quite as visually impressive as the 360 but this isn't a beauty contest.

@Mooncow27: Sure you don't want adult movies. Surrrre.

Until Adobe creates a version of Photoshop and InDesign that's made for multi-touch interfaces I'm sticking with my archaic mouse.

That's actually good news. Too many games, not enough money.

@Dennen: Using the Xbox 360 as the primary example, consumers can be pushed to levels they never imagined and still support a product they probably shouldn't.

Kinect. One day I think it has potential, the next I think it's the worst idea since sliced bread soaked in pig urine.

Something tells me that this is only the beginning of blatantly unnecessary peripherals for Kinect.

@WhatTheFrag: Not to nitpick but if you read the US blog it clearly states that it's 10,000 total with 5,000 betas for EU and the other 5,000 for the US.
