PS3 nabs T3's "Gadget of the Year" award

This year, all console owners are winners! The T3 Gadget Awards have concluded for the year and you'll be happy to know that, while the PS3 was merely a runner up in the "Best Gaming Gadget" category, it did win out in the "Gadget of the Year" category — making it known that while not the best gaming console out (yet), it's got enough multimedia functionality in addition to a lineup of great games on the horizon to merit a nod as a force to be reckoned with.

All's fair, though. The Xbox 360 won the Gaming Gadget category, due to its strong lineup of games and great online service. The Nintendo Wii won the totally awesome category of "One for the Ladies" — because the Wii has a unisex appeal and girls love cool games. Whatever, it's a win for them, so they can tout that one above the 360 and PS3's heads, if they want. So, each console is a category champion, but we're pretty sure Gadget of the Year is a little more all-encompassing than others, although we'd like to see the PS3 win the best Gaming Gadget next year! Congrats to all.
