The perfect games console

It has been a long time coming, and I very nearly gave in and bought both an Xbox 360 and a Nintendo Wii along the way, but I can reveal the answer to the questionnn ‘what will be the next games console to grace the happygeek living room’ is: a PlayStation 3. And it will grace that space on the European launch date of 23rd March because I have pre-ordered one, safe and sound and paid for and guaranteed for delivery on the day itself. I will even tell you where I bought it, Dark Planets, because it doesn’t take orders over their allocation and has methods in place to weed out the multiple unit pre-order speculators that spoil it for everyone just to make a few quid on eBay during the inevitable post-launch furore.
