The console lovers

That’s us! Right now, we have no less than four gaming consoles in regular use, and we haven’t even bought the Playstation 3 yet (and too bad that is, as the one that is sold now isn’t backwards compatible, meaning we’d have to have both the PS3 and the PS2 out still. Why, Sony? WHY?).

As you can imagine, this causes some trouble for us - our TV just doesn’t have enough inputs to serve all consoles at once. For now we’ve got a switcher box thingie (does it show that I’m not all that tech savvy?), and I guess when we move over to HDTV we’ll have to make use of HDMI splitters. Right now the poor Gamecube has been banished to the other room (fondly known as the library) with the smaller, technologically inferior TV. Sometimes, at night, I can hear it crying.

However, the Gamecube will see its renaissance soon, as Grand Theft Auto IV is out next week, meaning Tor will be glued to the main TV where the Xbox 360 is hooked up. For some reason, I always want to play when he’s using the TV, but no amount of fluttering eyelashes and/or sexy dancing will drag him away from the violence galore that is GTA.

Who knows, maybe I’ll end up finishing The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass on the DS while the main TV is busy?
