I'm on my fifth system since Oct. 2006...but I have a replacement plan through Best Buy...instant exchange in-store. Easier, but still disappointing...at least I don't have to wait for a repair through MS and possibly get back a refurb that dies within a few days or weeks.
You're older than me, but we share a lot of experiences:
I was a wee lad when I experienced the joys (and looooooong load times) of the Commodore 64; soon after, my parents bought an Apple IIE.
Over the years I got an Atari for my birthday, an NES for Christmas, bought a Sega Genesis after saving money from various jobs; got a Super NES in college (guy sold me his for $50, with two controllers and 15 games...talk about a bargain), then a PS1, then another Genes...
Turkey, stuffing, gravy, rolls, cherry pie, mac and cheese, and croissants. Topped by a glass of wine. And Brett Favre is still awesome.
Considering that the average age of the gamer is 30, and that people over 50 make up about 20% of people who enjoy playing games, then yeah, I think that's OK.
It's a poorly-shot video of an early build...what are you guys flaming over?
When we get BETTER quality video from a LATER build of the game, then we can judge.
Great news for the DS...now, if they would just bring this to Xbox Live Arcade.
Where's Daikatana? No other game on this list promised to make me its b!tch.
LOL!
Props 10 you.
As I've said before...I'm too busy playing the GAME to worry about counting pixels.
Doesn't seem to have affected sales one bit either...
I don't know about anywhere else, but in North America, the 80GB is alive and well. Maybe you were thinking of the 60GB model, which NEVER should have been discontinued.

Sony did NOT create CDs alone:

And they sure as heck didn't create the DVD standard we use today...in fact, Sony and Phillips abandoned their initial attempt at a DVD format in favor of one created by Toshiba:

Slowly but surely, yes they are.
The question is, what will the competition do to stay ahead?
Price cuts?
Bundles?
Great new IPS?
Gamers FTW.
True, WipeOut is/will be better...but given how truly bad this game is, that's not hard to do...Hell, Crash Nitro Cart beats Fatal Inertia.
Trust me, PS3 owners: This isn't something to rush out and buy.
Happy 2nd birthday. May you have many more.
Well, maybe it'll pull all of those idiotic team-killers out of Halo 3 and give them something else to do.
Well-balanced review, at least when it comes to the positives and negatives of the system. Right now the 360 has the best mix of games and features, with many more to come. Let's hope that the new Falcons have fixed the RRoD issue; from what I'm hearing, they're quieter and cooler than past iterations.
But make no mistake: The Wii's appeal shows no signs of waning, even with the supply shortages.
And the PS3 is slowly gaining momentum, with many good games in the...
I'll believe it when I see it finished and on the shelves.
I'm sorry, but how can we call these games "failures" when NONE of them have been finished/played/reviewed by anyone?
Let the games come out, and then we'll see.
