Clearly Zim put his name down on the order form as CHOW MEI POOM-TANG.

Also, on a side note -
xbox360 or PS3 ?
Pro's and con's of both please.

360 will be cheaper (prob) out sooner and erm thats it
ps3 will be more expensive (prob) and out later, its more powerfull but that doesant make a huge diff,

just preference really, wont be able to say a clear diff for a year or 2

Will the same games be available for both ?
Will the game prices be the same ?

Any significant differences ?

I've never owned a games console, hence the questions.

Prices will be the same because sony and MS are very competitive.
A lot of games will be available for both so it's the 'exclusive' titles that will probably tell them apart.
I don't know what all the launch titles are going to be, but PS2 usually has final fantasy etc whilst xbox will have halo and so on.

I also purchased a GB Ad SP like ZimZum.
And i played a bit while flying to London, and now and again (not to play Pokemon..i swear). But not really played it since.

SO YEAH.

most games will be available on both as it is with ps2/xbox atm, there will be exlusives but its far to early to call atm and both will have quality games (buy both tbh, and a psp for the third kid)

prices on games will be same

its far to early to call since neither have a release date yet and ps3 has no price

The box said Designed in California, MADE IN CHINA.

So I presume that whoever tested mine before packaging it had it set in Chinese and forgot to put it back into English.

Of course having your language set to Chinese isnt like one of your friends putting your phone into Finnish, you cant guess what each word is. So I had to click randomly til i got a list of languages.
