...and You, and You, and You and You and...Not You.

Presumably, no one is reading this page today because it is release day for "Pro Evolution Soccer 2008", a game I have been anticipating for months.
You can buy it for your PSP, or
You can buy it for your PS3, or
You can buy it for your PS2, or
You can buy it for your XBox 360 (and admire the way the light from the RRoD reflects off of the case), or
You can sit, like me, and put one more check in the "AGAINST" column for the Wii, because it won't come out for the Wii until next week.
The two biggest releases of the past couple of weeks - assuming you are not eight years old or a ridiculous Nintendo fan-kid (yes, I'm looking at all of you who pined for "SSB:B"...ugh) - are "Bully", a re-packaging of a 2006 PS2 game, and "PES2008" which...apparently...you can't have.
Everyone else can, however - so wish them luck.
I know it's a little thing - what's a week? - but it's yet another jab in the eye for this stupid platform I have saddled myself with. Is the Wii so lame that it doesn't rate the same release date as all the other platforms?
While waiting at the DMV yesterday afternoon I picked up "The Senior Times", a good-hearted rag targeting the blue rinse brigade, which touches on important issues such as support garments and liquified foods. The feature article on the front page was that piece of technology that is igniting friendships throughout the senior care facilities of the Pacific NW: the Wii.
Apparently I rock the same video games that your grandma does.
Wii can has our medications now?

I'll probably be picking up PES2008 for my PSP but not for my PS3. I hear the latter is, um, shit. Hopefully Konami will get their act together for the 2009 release.

Until then, I'll be scoring (or, knowing my history with PES, not scoring) on the mini-16x9 beauty of my Sony handheld.
