    I love my Xbox 360, but when it comes to games that require using the D-Pad, I always opt for my PS3.  The Playstation controller has better ergonomics for D-Pad-optimized games like fighters, classic titles, etc. This is why i am intrigued by Microsoft's new swiveling controller redesign. The new D-Pad can be rotated 90 degrees to change it from being a concave pad to a more pronounced cross. My only hesitation about picking one up when it launches on November 9th is the steep $64.99 price point.

    LTL Prints feature a wide selection of wall decals to fit about any personality. Luckily for me, they carry a great selection of video game artwork from some great games, including Jet Set Radio Future. I'm still waiting for a followup to the fantastic XBox title, but in the meantime, maybe I'll pick up one of these to tide me over. You can see all of the JSRF wall graphics here.
