wired.com— "Xbox 360, Video iPod, PSP, nano, Treo 650: How do they stack up? See our list (hot), with its five-point rating system (smokin')."

Fact: Wired is an irrelevant piece of candy-coated s**t. It was cool and interesting for about five minutes after the first issue came out, but now it's basically an overstuffed Sharper Image catalogue run by fat 40-something marketing execs masquerading as journalists. f**k it.
If the nano isn't consumer friendly it isn't a good product. The whole line of iPods are easy to scratch, after pay the price I did for the mini I am annoyed at the fact I'm told to buy something extra to keep it from getting damaged. That is another thing that keeps it from being consumer friendly. The reason I got a mini instead of another brand was because it is compatible with audible.com. If I decided to get a portable video player I will most likely get a Creative Zen.
Well, I think that the Nano was a little bit underrated, and the PSP way overrated. Most of us in the gaming community are close to calling it a failure. So, what good games are there for the PSP? Well, Lumines, and theres W1peout, and Lumines, and um, well, yea. Nothing. OK, well what about the other functionalities? Sony is so concerned about locking down the platform, they are ruining. If they made it easier/possible for me to take the movies I already own on DVD to the PSP, I would have soncidered it. Since they particularly DON'T allow me to do that (and no, I'm not going to spend another $20 on a UMD version of a movie I already have) I'm not interested. I bought a DS a little while ago, and have been very pleasantly surprised at the quantity of good games.
"And the Xbox 360 is at a 4, even though the sales haAnd the Xbox 360 is at a 4, even though the sales have been lower than Microsoft expected, and lower than the original Xbox? Uh huh. Right. Lame.ve been lower than Microsoft expected, and lower than the original Xbox? Uh huh. Right. Lame."Um.. ok moron... the last time I checked, the 360 was sold out everywhere on the planet (except on that tiny island in Asia... Japan). The 360 is easily the hottest device of the year
I would love a Micro - but with 2 DS's and 2 GBA SP's already it's more of a budgetary issue. The PSP is the most over-rated product of the year. Although's great for stealing Wireless broadband from your unsecured neighbours ;pBTW, Nintendo Rule - Viva La Revolution!

Glad my video iPod got a good 4.5. But I was disappointed to see the nano on there with a bad review.

Duplicate story from about 3 days ago. Doesn't anyone check for dupes?

Well, Mr. Chu. I believe you are being cursory with your argument. You should study the facts and not judge one by its shell.-Mr. King-Pilot
