I had an urge to go to BestBuy after work today, and once I got there, I realized why: there were some new toys to mess with.
Playstation Move was available for tryout. So I tried it, and hated it. Maybe it's just that software title, but if Sony picked that WiiSport clone as their flagship launch title, then I doubt how good the other Move titles are. The characters on the screen were a bit creepy, but it was the game play that disappointed me. They were frustrating more than challenging, and I was simply not having fun with the game. This is strange, consider how much I like WiiSport and WiiSport Resort.
On the plus side, I tried an Andriod phone: Motorola Driod. Yes, the very first one, with a keyboard. And I have to say that I really enjoy using it. Sure the phone was not the latest model, and some apps like "Piano" was not as responsive as the iPhone version, but overall the experience was smooth enough. Of course I won't buy it since my prepaid phone service is much cheaper and more than enough to do exactly what I need it to do. Still it's nice to know that there's a good iPhone competitor in this world.
Price of Nintendo DSi XL dropped to US$170. I looked at the screen and really liked it. But then I realized that I spent most of my time with iPad including gaming. If I really want to play some NDS games, I can use my DS classic. When I am on the road, iPad totally does the job. So at the end, DSi XL doesn't fit in my life style.
