And games don't cost 70 dollars. The last generation of consoles (PS2, XBox, Gamecube) all cost 50 dollars. 70 may only be twenty dollars more, but that twenty starts adding up as you buy more games. Buy two games, that's another forty. We're not all made of cash.
Also, they keep delaying it. The choice to use blu-ray discs was stupid. It seems like its never going to come out.
And I've always preferred Nintendo. Cheap, dependable products. The Wii looks awesome, and I'm much more excited about it than the PS3. The back catalogue of old games is a great feature. And its an innovative console, what with the new stlye of playing. The PS3 is not innovative. Nor is the Xbox 360. They have better graphics. Big whoop. You can see blood and guts in shooting games more clearly. So what? Nintendo keeps innovating the game medium. I'm looking forward to the Wii.
Though I've never been into consoles all that much. I prefer handhelds. They're cheap, the games are cheap, they're fun and you can take them anywhere. The Nintendo DS is one of my favorite systems of all time. An innovative way to play with good graphics and truly fun, uncomplicated games.
In short, the PS3 looks good, but I'm getting fed up with it. They keep upping the prices and delaying the system. I cast my vote for the Wii, and will ay it one more time, HANDHELDS FOREVER!!!
