Re: More North American Women Own A Games Console Than Men

Since personal anecdotes can be used to dismiss the study, here's mine to validate it: I am a woman considered part of a "minority" and I own many gaming consoles, both current and past gen, not to mention several handhelds. My younger sister does as well. As do most of our female friends, to varying degrees of course. My sister and I are also early adopters of new gen consoles as opposed to my older brothers. So to me, this study doesn't "surprise" me in the least. Perhaps this just helps to highlight for some people how small or undiversified their social circles might be.

Re: Hardware Classics: The Sega Genesis Nomad

I love the Nomad whenever I'm in the mood to play an old game but don't want to have to unbox and set up my Genesis. I tend to steal my brother's Nomad and can usually keep for a good three to four months before he notices that it's missing.

Re: Luigi Nendoroid Figure Up for Preorder

If you order him from a Japanese website that specializes in figures, such as Hobby Search or AmiAmi, he's actually only about $33 (depending on the exchange rate). Sites like jbox or other domestic online stores will tack on an extra 20/30 bucks. This will most likely be the same case for Link's WW nendoroid.
