		<description><![CDATA[This Christmas, I received a single video-gaming related item: Prince or Persia, on the Xbox 360. Actually, I can&#8217;t remember the last game I bought for the Wii&#8230; it may have been Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Why this (not so) sudden apathy for the saviour of the games console?

In any case, it still has may niggly or broken features&#8230; I&#8217;ve noticed several strange behaviors of Vista since installing it to dual-boot on my MacBook Pro.

The product wasn&#8217;t actually listed until about 9:40, at which point it sold out within, literally, seconds. In the time it took to mis-enter my email address once (d&#8217;oh!) and then re-enter it correctly, all units had been sold. &#160; I wonder [...]]]></description>
