With a $169 PSP, keep those games a rolling.
PSP...What? :rolleyes:
I just don't get it... why mentioned the "Sony" product in a post about future iPod games?
What is the freaking point?
Here is the problem... the iPod isn't a gaming device. It is multimedia player with gaming functionality as "bonus, nice to have" feature. The PSP is a multimedia gaming device.
And from the look at the screenshoot of Sims Bowling, that game was specficially designed for the iPod's scroll wheel. It looks great.
But I only have a iPod Nano and 3rd generation iPod, so I haven't or will buy any iPod games.

Perhaps the 6G iPod would be like a PSP. It would be nice if Apple turned the iPod into a portable gaming machine.

When trying to follow the Pacman demo link, I get "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (5002). There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later." Is anyone else getting this?

I know this is MacRumors and all, but are we getting a bit obsessed when we slip on Ms. Pac-Man, calling it instead Ms. Pac-Mac? (see title of post)
