One of the characters in Plants vs. Zombies is the dancing zombie, which have a striking resemblance to the late Michael Jackson. Because of this, a lot of us are referring it as the Michael Jackson zombie. Amongst the dancing zombies, the Michael Jackson zombie is the center of attraction. Surrounding him are his back-up dancers. The dance steps that they’re doing is also similar to the dance steps of Michael Jackson’s hit song “Thriller”.

Because of the striking resemblance, the estate of Michael Jackson has raised concerns about it. Thus, let’s all say bye-bye to Michael Jackson in PvZ.

1. Sony PS3 Slim: Cheaper Gaming Console
2. Level Up’s Hello Kitty Online
3. The Biggest Loser Asia

A new Sony PlayStation3 with a slimmer profile with a cheaper price is now in the Sony Style store. It has a price tag of 300 USD (originally from 600 USD – the original PS3) which will probably have a regular SRP in the Philippines at around 16,000 to 20,000 pesos.

Would it lure Pinoy gamers to get their hands on Sony PS3? It could probably catch the interest to those who are just starting yet to become avid gamers but for those who were using previous PlayStation gaming consoles such as PS One and PS2, I don’t think they won’t go for the Sony PS3 Slim as the gaming console upgrade of their choice. PS2 Users might not want to upgrade to Sony PS3 Slim because the PS2 Games are not backwards compatible with it. As for PS One Games, not all are compatible with Sony PS3 Slim.

Nintendo DSi was just announced. With its features unveiled, will it be able to gain more buyers in the Philippines? I’ve gathered some graphs using Google Trends for us to see how is it popular.

PSP versus Nintendo DS.

I’ve used the search terms PSP and Nintendo DS in Google Trends (region is set to Philippines), and the above graph shows how Sony’s PSP is popular in the Philippines. In fact, PSP Games are widely searched than Nintendo DS Games.

Sony PSP versus Nintendo DS

However, I just find it weird that when using the terms Sony PSP and Nintendo DS as the terms for Google Trends, Nintendo DS appears higher. I tried using PSP versus DS in Google Trends (Philippines) and the search term PSP in Google eats up a big slice of the search market in the Philippines.

Nintendo DSi Specs:

Nintendo DSi has the following specs:
- dual 3.25 inch displays
- 256 x 192 screen resolution
- 2 cameras (1 VGA resolution)
- SD slot
- Internal memory (size is still unknown)
- WiFi
- Browser for surfing the internet
- Touch screen (single-touch)

The built-in cameras would surely delight the gamers who’d love to take photos as well. But with the comparison of Nintendo DSi and Sony PSP 3000, PSP 3000′s has a bigger screen size though it’s not dual. However, PSP 3000′s screen resolution is bigger than that of Nintendo DSi. It boasts of a 480 x 272 screen resolution with 16M colors that would certainly give a great user experience. PSP 3000 still does not have a touch screen interface though. Adding this feature would have improved the user’s internet browsing experience.

The Features or The Games?
The available games will still be a deciding factor whether one will purchase a Nintendo DSi or the Sony PSP 3000.
