 * Comment. This is a perfect example of why when an editor prods an article, he should also add that article to his watchlist. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 00:46, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - before I form an opinion on this article, I will save people the trouble of trying to find any sources per WP:RS. This is what is out there, Battle Creek Enquirer blog article, CNET Gadget Review, and a blogger from The Examiner. To be quite honest I really don't see these as that reliable so I am leaning delete for now. - Marcusmax ( speak ) 01:24, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep per precedent set for such articles. Current sources squeek by. The Examiner cite is the "blog" of Zach Rhoads, a software developer and the Examiner's online expert explicitly hired as their "Chicago Gadgets Examiner". The Battle Creek Enquirer cite is the "blog" of Marcus Anderson, a freelance writer and video game reviewer hired for his expertise. Neither are simply some fan's blog posting... as they are opinions offered by experts in their field specifically qualified to speak on the subject... just as is the CNET review.
