Next Generation Consoles

[Narasho]

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.

That would simply be retarded. Only rich snobby kids or elitest fanboys would spend more money on one console than the cost of the other two combined.

AlterEgo: The name

Thats just what I heard from my friend who is a hardcore console gamer. It could very well be wrong; when I heard it from him I said anyone willing to spend that much should just buy a computer. So, i'm definately skeptical about that information as it is only hearsay.

Even at $200 I'm just not inclined to buy the new gear anymore. $600 is just ridiculous. I mean honestly...

I think my console buying days are over. I'm just going to keep going old school with my Sega Genesis and N64 (if N64 is considered old school by this time...) I should get FF7 and play that too (yes, *gasp* Nicole has never played it!)

SONY Conference LIVE

Its in stream.... (damn it... can't watch at work... will have to wait until the news are published in text...)

SquareEnix is crazy. They announced Final Fantasy XIII and its sequel! -> Final Fantasy Versus XIII

yep i'm "watching it now". just stupid old scool music and only the playstation logo on the screen... It's 1:40 am over here and i want to go to bed.

PS1 logo... PS1 logo... yeaaah. Did they already finish this?

Those screens from FFXIII and FFXIII Versus look pretty cool, though. I surely hope the first one's protagonist isn't that girl, since she just looks like a yuna rip-off... and not badass at all.

Whoever is in the Versus screenshots looks totally awesome. I'd defienately buy that game, y0.
