When it comes to the contests that play out on the room’s 32-inch Sony television, the Mower suite’s residents have many means of sorting out the true champions from the mere dabblers. Their collection of consoles includes an X-Box 360, a Nintendo 64, a Super Nintendo, and a PlayStation 2. They will soon have options for adding even more. The Sony PlayStation 3 will arrive in Cambridge stores this morning, boasting a 60-GB hard-drive in its premium version and commanding a top price of $599. The $249 Nintendo...
