yea, and no wifi, no bluetooth, 40gs, and two controler ports.
s**t cost money to make, they dony just price stuff at random for random reasons.
and its not six bills anymore.....
you're right. ipods are way to go.

people dislike it because it "lacks" "good" games, and its the most expensive...
its got tons of features and add ons tho, most people dont bother to learn about that.

Frankly, the Ipods have more glitches than the Zune. I've owned an ipod (second gen Nano) and it was shitty since the day I hooked it up to the computer. My Zune has been a breath of fresh air.

I use to think the PS3's were the wave of the future and Blue Ray would obsolete the DVD's. As far as graphics go, it's absolutely fantastic. But I still don't understand why it's not getting the credit it deserves. Maybe because there isn't many "family" games out for it. :what: The overheating problem is due to poor ownership. The 80gb is $499.99. The 60gb is $499.99. The 40gb is $399.99. I, personally, forever and always will think the PS2 is the best to have ever came out of Sony.

I always thought of the Xbox 360 as the "from a boy to a man" type of gaming system. The ring of fire and overheating issues personally wouldn't matter if common sense wasn't an issue with the consumer. :lol:

Nintendo, since the beginning, has had the right idea about consumers wants and needs out of a gaming system. They never expected for the Wii to take off flying off the shelves like it has been over the year. It's a "must have" in the average American household now. They can't keep up with the high demand with production. It's family oriented, more interactive (physically) than the 360 by far, and reasonably priced for all it's capabilities.

Its way over priced. And imo its a video game system. Why the hell do i need all this extra crap?? The only extra it should come with is the ability to connect online.
Plus until Gran Turismo 5 comes out there isnt anything on that system worth buying. All the good games have graduated to the 360. which was a huge step forward when Microsoft released it.
And about the Wii. Ive heard they are purposely keeping the supply low to help keep demand up. But i guess its working. I know Nintendo will milk the Wii for all its worth. its the only good thing to come out of there sine the N64.

Saturate the market? Isn't that called making money? lol

They are totally limiting it to keep the hype up, they are making 18 thousand units available this xmas, world wide! That's just rediculous

companies actually lose money on making systems and rely completely on selling games. keep the hype up and people will keep scooping them up. they're only making what they know they can sell. it brings joy to my heart seeing stacks of ps3s sitting at best buy sometimes..

boosted to 26ps:
impressive list.. you a collector? i wouldnt mind a neo geo but the cartridges are hella expensive for that system!
