    I’m not sure why but I’m really tempted by the DSi XL. It’s just hard to look at my DS lite anymore because it feels so low tech by comparison. It’s partly imagining playing SoulSilver on the new one that gets me excited.

    That and any possible good DSiWare games if they ever release anything. The price is also surprisingly decent. I expected it to go for considerably more than the DSi but it’s actually not too bad, especially for someone who hasn’t upgraded yet.

    The colour selection is a bit limited and I would have preferred a white one, but the dark brown looks quite cool.

    IGN confirmed Uncharted 2 as GOTY today. It’s probably more relief than anything. It almost seemed like they were going to go against it because it was too obvious, but in the end Naughty Dog got the award they so richly deserve.

    Well done to the team and I’m sure Uncharted 3 will have a similar impact.

    The fact that IGN gave Bayonetta on 360 a 9.6 and PS3 a 8.2, that’s a massive 14 decimal point difference and is absolutely unacceptable at this time in the console’s lifespan. For things like this to happen at the beginning when developers were learning the hardware is one thing, but 3 years in, it shouldn’t be allowed.

    That said, I did pre-order the game because I want to play it and have no other choice. I’m sure it will look ok to me since I’m not the most picky gamer, but still. Sony are trying their best to give the PS3 the best possible chance in the marketplace, and stuff like this is certainly not what they need.

    I just used the Watchmen Blu-Ray I have to get a digital copy transfered off the included extra disc straight into my iTunes library. When I heard about digital copy before I dismissed it but after seeing this, it’s surely the best of both worlds and has to be the future of home entertainment.

    When I say future, I mean more as a bridge to fully digital distribution whenever that happens. This is a great thing for letting people get their feet wet and get a feel for what’s to come eventually.

    I think it’s a fantastic idea and everyone should be doing it.

    A new Nintendo Channel got released today. It looks so much cleaner and better. Everyone should go and grab it from the Wii Shop Channel.

    Uncharted 2 won VGA GOTY. They deserve it. Some awards I didn’t agree with but mostly good.

    Also excited for Green Day: Rock Band.

    The NPD data for November says Xbox 360 outsold PS3 despite everything. I really feel bad for Sony. I mean they deserve better all things considered. The fact that PS3 does better here even though it’s more expensive than the 360 makes me wonder what the difference is between American and European consumers. The DS and Wii also had great months but that’s to be expected.

    The PSP go continues to frustrate me. This whole HMV price cut thing today can probably only hurt Sony in the long run as many people will just refuse to buy one now until it is officially £150 which may be quite a while.

    I got a google wave invite. If you want one (I have 7 remaining), register and leave me an intelligent comment on why wave is the future of email. Will write full thoughts later. So far so good.

    Valve keep screwing me on prices by a lot. Dirt, Grid and L4D2 are a lot cheaper. Buy if you can.
