I don't know quite what to think about that.
Wii. Pronounced "We". Alright, "Why" I could have lived with, even thought the take on the spelling was pretty cute. But WII??? All I can think of is a jubilant child screaming WHEEEE.
Jesus Nintendo. I mean, Nintendo means something like, "Place of Heaven" I believe, thats a great name. Super Nintendo, good job, kinda lame you didnt change the name, but I love you, so I'll let it slide. N64, fine since the system was 64 bit. Gamecube, I thought it was weird at first but the system was, indeed a cube, and I liked it. Wii. No dice.

I think it was quiet ingenious. Nobodies going to not buy the thing because of the stupid name, yet now they are getting a lot more attention.

I'm looking at a $250 price tag for the Wii and a $500-$600 for the PS3. All guesstimates, but jesus, I love sony, but that's seriously a scam. Talk about breaking the bank.

The only real reason for that price tag is the same reason I dislike alot of new-generation type things.... they much far too much CRAP on a game console seriously they built ever little bit of miscellious crap onto these systems until they cost so much to make the damn things. They're not game systems anymore... oh no they got to become friggin overrated computers is what they are. Seriously who needs a 500$ game systems so they can store with 40+ GBs of space Music, movies, and all that crap kinda takes away from it being a game system in my opinion.
Anyway I just saw the trailer for the new SSB game now called: Super Smash Brother Brawl and I'm like... sweet god... I want! And come to think of it I don't say that about alot of games these days.

I know, isn't it fucking awesome?
And yes, the PS3 is gonna be ungodly expensive. I'm getting one with the smallest HDD possible. That's where the price difference is. Ra at Gamestop told me the one they're getting is like $599 I think. Nathan said he read online that it's the larger one, and that theres a smaller one for like $399 or $499. Fuck that large HDD >.>

Yeah the PSP was a flop, not all that many good games to warrent a buy. As for the PS3 I'm on the fence, I've always been one to get the new Sony console before anything else. But like I said that price is going to break the bank. I may just wait a while and get the Wii first.

The PSP was ridculious... it had the potiental to be very good... but they seemed so more focused on the movies part of it then the game... the quality of games has dropped quite a bit.
I'm just going to stand by and watch for now.

I'm definately getting a WII first, and whenever I have the money for a PS3, I'll get one. We'll probably wait about a year or so, until the first price drop. It won't be so bad then. I'm really not too keen on spending anything more than $300 on a video game system.
And I'm not touching a 360. I'd laugh if someone tried to give one to me. Overrated garbage.
