From Wirebot: A monster. No, I’m kidding. It’s actually an amazing vintage-looking Xbox. Basically this guy, Ben Heck, who is amazing at taking apart existing consoles and remaking them (in a way), decided to merge an Atari 2600 with an Xbox360 with built-in LCD display. The outcome is essentially a very stylish and portable laptop with the power of the 360, and killer looks of the Atari.

In this world, there are two types of people: Those who are a one partner kind of person and those who like to date around. There are pros and cons to both types, the first leaving you with a sense of pride and allegiance and the other just being more fun, although a bit dirty. I mean granted, even if you are one to date around, you could still end up falling for one harder than the others. Same goes for being tied to one lover; You’re still going to be tempted by the fruits of another.

No, you are not reading a dating advice site, this is still Wirebot. My question is, who said a lover or a partner had to be human? I know my Xbox gets more go time than anything else in my life, if you know what i mean. More »

Sony and Microsoft had their mini, price cut war last week. Both cut the prices on their primary machines by a $100. Microsoft lowered their Xbox 360 Elite to $299, while Sony went ahead and cut the price on their current PS3 to $299 but also introduced the PS3 Slim for $299. If I had to choose, I’d go with the Sony PS3 Slim but there are hard core Xbox 360 fans, who are loving this price cut.

Are you more likely to buy a Xbox 360 or PS3 because of the price cut? If so, which console would you opt for?
