I've heard that the ps3 will cost around $600, which is a pretty penny indeed. Xbox 360 has great graphics, but I haven't had a chance to actually play any games on it. I wonder how these new systems will compare to high end computers running Oblivion or other graphically intense games.

I always hated the moniker "N64" so, like most people I know, adjusted it to "64" and people still knew what you were talking about. Here, we can always revert to "Nintendo" like I'll probably be using or Revolution if you still want to sound like a pretensious elitist, just like the people who still called the N64 the Ultra.

In the end, it still comes down to people understanding what you mean when you say, "Let's go play some Smash!"
I still remember the 64 days. I had great times playing 4 player GoldenEye and Smash. Gamecube Smash Bros is great fun as well.
