Sneak peek: The hottest gift for 2008! photo

Before I head home for the holidays to live it up with some heavily spiked eggnog (and foolin' around with old flames under the mistletoe) I thought I'd wish every gamer out there a happy holiday farewell.

2007 has been such a grand year that I wonder how 2008 can top it. I'm talking about the kind of thing that would actually bring together all the fanboys from each console camp, convince them all to lay down their weapons, and hold hands to sing "Hands Across America." Or since it's the holidays, maybe "Don't They Know It's Christmas." Man, I would kill to see Bono, George Michael, Sting, and Boy George perform together again. I wonder why George and George never hooked up ...

Anyways, believe it or not, what I have in this surprise gift above is even better. Hit the jump to tear off the wrapping to unveil this special holiday delight.

 


Best of all, it only costs $99, and you get a free pack-in game: Grand Theft Auto: Welcome to Dtoid City!

Dr. Boa may sound like someone who starred in some porn with Dirk Diggler, but his true passion is interactive entertainment. He's notched +15 years in the gaming industry from QA to launching several big hits, so he's got a healthy perspective on what goes on from the flipside. It's amazing he's not a jaded cynic yet. He's finally glad to see more drug filled parties with playboy bunnies and B level celebs like all other entertainment fields. Yes, gaming has finally made it.

And so eons passed, and suddenly the Lord remembered He had left the gas on back on Earth. He looked down upon His creations, and what He beheld brought a mighty tear to the glorious eye of the Lord. So filled with pride at what His creations had wrought, the Wiistation360, He bestowed many blessings upon them. And lo, when the people did praise the Lord for his blessings, He spoke to his people. "My children," spoketh the Lordeth. "Praiseth me noteth, for it is Destructoid who hath wrought such greatness upon My Earth. Praiseth the green robot as you would ME." And so the people did, and all was well until someone lit a match. God never did remember to turn the gas off, and the Earth was no more.

I already got one from Brazil. It plays Wonderswan Color games, and I have a copy of Project Justice 3: Battle Destruction that runs at 2430p.

Finally, a system for me!

I wondered when the Phantom would come out.

Now let's just hope they port Pippin games over to the XBPSNVC.

We'll need them to go with the vast stacks of Jaguar, CD-i, 3D0 and Vectrex games they'll be putting up there.

Unfortunately, the fan on that thing sounds like a lawnmower cutting through eight pounds of semi-frozen veal. And that's before the disk spin.

Also, the PSWii60 remote may blind you with its BluRays.

Coming Fall 2008 to your local electronics store, the PSWii60! It plays Blu-ray Discs and HD DVDs, but not DVDs, and its internet browser is Opera. It has a 40 GB hard drive, but its backward compatibility is somewhat gimped. Also, the controller doesn’t rumble...yet! Oh yeah...it isn’t the best in terms of hardware quality, but that’s okay, because we here at NinSonSoft have poured over $1.5 billion into our warranty replacement program! You can have one for the low, low price of $999.99 — if you can find it in stores! Seriously, we’re putting them out as fast as we can!

Good post... Cliffy.

Anyway, I'll pass on this system. I'm too busy listening to my Game Gear telling me to kill people.
