Boy drops DS in gorilla cage

Nintendo launched the DSi XL with the purpose of attracting elderly consumers with bad vision, gamers who sought a portable reading device, and people who wanted to play with the handheld in social settings. But there's a new market segment that also seems interested - gorillas. So this little boy was just walking around the San Francisco zoo, doing what every boy who is dragged to the zoo tends to do - play video games - when he accidentally dropped his DSi XL into the gorilla habitat. And wouldn't you know it, a professional photographer happened to be right there. Above: Parents take note: THIS is how to keep your kid from playing the wrong kind of games. http://www.gamesradar.com/boy-drops-ds-in-gorilla-cage-inadvertently-creates-the-best-photo-op-ever/
http://newslite.tv/2010/04/06/7500-shoppers-unknowingly-sold.html Thousands of shoppers unknowingly signed their souls over to a computer-game store after failing to read the terms and conditions on their website. GameStation added the "immortal soul clause" to online purchases earlier this month stating customers granted them the right to claim their soul. While all shoppers during the test were given a simple tick box option to opt out, very few did this, which would have also rewarded them with a £5 voucher. The store claims this shows 88 percent of people do not read the terms and conditions of a website before they make a purchase. Bosses also say they will not be enforcing their rights and will now email customers nullifying any claim on their soul. <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>
