Well, the way I figure it, I will want Blu Ray ASAP. The PS3 just makes sense for me because it's blu ray + video games for only a little bit more than I would pay for a Blu ray player alone.

That's the reason why most people will buy it.
I understand but it's sad to buy a game system for its technology and not for the games...

Nintendo still floats my boat!!

I think I may need to buy a PS3 when those hit stores though.

Me too. Although generally new games suck, there are bound to be a few gems. And if not it will make a nice doorstop.

So even if there aren't any games at release that excite me, it's still a blu ray player.

Ditto. That's why I got the original xbox.

Yeah well we will see what the software is like. Is it just me or I haven't seen anything (games) that makes me want to buy any of these damn systems. Look at the XBOX 360.........there hasn't been one title that makes me want to buy yet. Along with the rest of the folks I must say I am a little dissapointed with Nintendo's specs on the Wii. It seems they are always a little behind when it comes to the power of their machines and I think it is a mistake not to support anything over 480p on a "next gen" system. The controller seems innovative in some ways but I have to agree with Kev on this one..........it looks like a gimmick to hype the system. I guess we will all wait and see.

While that is indeed sweet. We'll have to wait and see if they have replaced the baseball bats in Streets Of Rage III with bunches of flowers.

Right, because I seem to recall REmake, Resident Evil 0, Resident Evil 4, Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes, Killer 7, and Metroid Prime among others being pretty non-kiddy.

I like, many others bought Mortal Kombat on the Genesis because of the blood/sweat fiasco (Ahh, Kano's fatality! :twisted:), but Nintendo has obvoiusly changed it's policy towards violent videogames since the SNES era. Even on the N64, we got games like Duke Nukem and Quake 64.

And you know you like the "kiddy" games, too. Animal Crossing and Mario Kart are the shit. :wink:

Yeah, the name was stupid at first, I mean, the Revolution was an awesome name.. but the Wii grew on me.

It's all about the Wii and the 360 this gen. I have no desire to get Blu-Ray at the moment, especiallly in a Playstation. DRE FTL.

Let me enlighten you: it was the Nintendo DS Lite, it just came out in the US and Europe.
The game was probably New Super Mario Bros. which kinda looks like the old NES Mario (gameplay-wise) but with kick-ass new graphics!

Mario 64 is probably the best 3D platformer ever!!!

Speaking of the DS...
Wii will be compatible with DS.
You'll be able to download demos from Wii to DS (much like the already-existing DS Download Stations), among other things.

and btw, you all should pick up a DS Lite! they're amazing!
Nintendo is doing great things to get people of all ages to play video games. you really need to check out these games, they're great. :razz:

and New Super Mario Bros. is amazing, its the first original Mario side scroller in a long time! (think like the old NES games), its really fun!
