Hey all you kids, there's a brand new sound!

Those of you who know me may be immensely surprised to hear that I was greatly looking forward to the launch of the PS3. Here's why...

Some time ago, the hype for the forthcoming console from Sony described how the user was expected not to stack the shiny black box away, but display it proudly. To encourage non-stackability, the sides of the console would be convex.

The press from M$ was remarkably similar. The sleek white box would not be stackable, because it would have concave sides.

You can see where I'm going with this, can't you ?

Well, I tried it at the weekend. They don't. Not even a little bit.

Pah. I've lost all interest in next-generation consoles now.

I dunno. Actually, given the sides which are curved, they wouldn't really prevent that anyway, so I guess I misunderstood the original thing I read.
