Did anyone else both read and see in the photo 'Springer' (as in Jerry) at first? No? Just me? Okay.

So does this mean Sony might drop out of the console business and go the way of the Sega? Stay tuned.

Damn, am I that out of touch that I didn't even know there was a MZ3? The first two were out-of-control awesome, I'm gonna have to seek that out.

Awesome news, I've already got my tickets.

I was never a very big Halo fan, but I definitely liked the music in the games. Nice to hear that Gabe and Tycho will be there, I had the pleasure of meeting them and chatting with them a little bit at last year's PAX and they are fine fellows. Sounds like an exciting Saturday night*.

*Man, I'm a nerd.

The DS integration at Safeco is really, really cool. In addition to ordering food and drinks you can watch the live video feed directly on your DS screen, access up-to-the-minute stats and scores, play trivia. It really enhances the experience. The live feed is especially cool because it's on a ten second or so delay, so you can be watching the game in front of you, and when a really interesting play happens you can see it up close immediately afterwards from different angles or whatever and hear the commentary on your handheld without having to look around for a TV.

Hopefully they implement something similar at Yankee Stadium with PSPs; that'd be really cool.

Kinda like he does in Mercenaries? As in, with his boot?

You must be new to Joystiq, and the frequent JOYSTIQIS TEH BIAS!!!11 comments. It was a subtle joke.

Come on in, I'll show you around.

I remember hearing an account of somebody getting away with selling an XBOX BOX (yeah, just the cardboard) on Ebay for $300. The title was obviously misleading, but if you actually read the description it made it clear that it was just a box. I think it said something like "Imagine the look on your children's faces this Christmas when they open their presents and find a BRAND NEW XBOX BOX under the tree!"

I third the weekly Joystiq iPhone gaming article. I'm here everyday, trust the staff, and really don't want to bother checking more and more sites on a daily basis. It'd be nice to have a small weekly feature here with links to more info if I'm interested. Make it happen, Joystiq!

I'm lucky that I started using computers as a very young child, because I was able to learn to use a mouse with my right hand without any awkwardness. I do everything with my left-hand BUT use a mouse, even going so far as to switch my drumset around completely backwards. Actually, I also use scissors with my right-hand, because I never had lefty ones as a kid.

But still, I don't think ambidextrous mice are the way to go, the design just hinders functionality for both handednesses. They really should just manufacture lefty mice, but only make 10% as many as the righty ones.

It's too bad the online isn't cross-platform. Then each guy could play with his system's respective controller.
