opinions: May 2005 Archives

The debate over a national ID has stirred up a lot of controversy. There are supporters on both sides of the fence. Personally, I am still sitting on the fence and trying to weigh both sides of the argument.

Wired Magazine is running a story about the Electronic Entertainment Expo that will hit Los Angeles in the upcoming week. Although the article doesn't provide a lot of info about the new consoles coming out, it does re-invigorate a discussion I had with my son recently.

The two of us went to a local book/video/music store. He was looking at the Nintendo DS. I had recently seen a PSP and I must admit that I was pretty impressed with it. He would like to have a Nintendo DS. He already has a Game Boy and a Game Boy Color, but of course, he needs a Nintendo DS too. I asked him what he thought of the PSP. I remarked that I thought it was a better machine given the things it can do ( at a considerable cost over the Nintendo DS ). He disagreed. But I think his opinion is a bit biased because many of his friends have a Nintendo DS and if he had one he could join in their games.
