And the best thing is no getting up and down to change disks.

Great little gadget.

Even though I enthuse greatly about my PS3 this is not my fav gadget .

The one that gets my vote for me is my Garmin e-trex Legend GPS reciever & before all you techno whizzes say its old & been superceded by better things .
Its mine it works well & i've spent many happy hours Geocaching with it .

Geocaching?

My PS3 is my fav at the minute as it now plays avi and wmv. I share out my media from my PC using Windows Media Player and connect to it from my PS3.
I can now access all my albums and movies that Ive ripped

That's really cool
One of these days I'll convince Mrs Nutty into buying a PS3

Yeah we use it as a media centre mainly and sometimes as a games console

Good Luck persuading Mrs Nutty

If you need any help, I can try the female persuasion technique !!?? Mike can sit upstairs doing stuff on the site as long as he likes, I sit downstairs with full access to our media library and I can pick any track from around 500 CDs that we have ripped and not have to get up once!!!

I don't get bored as I can listen to loads of music, watch films or music vids and he gets to spend time on the net... everyone's happy

Mine has to be my DS lite too. I've recently got Brain training but I have to say my favourite game is Zelda and the Phantom Hourglass, which is an amazing game (I have't played it for a while because I'm stuck and I get frustrated).

At the weekend I bought Spyro but only because he's such a cute little dragon. It was more for nostalga.

I also love my new mobile phone.

Any connection between your reality and mine is completly coincidental

Monster Munch liked the one our niece had for christmas .
Nintendo got the marketing just right with the DS lite this christmas making it appeal to adults with the Brain training & the kids with the games .
We were out shopping at christmas & all you heard was people asking about the DS lite.
