Thanks Cali and Quack for your thoughtful and unbiased comments!
If Sony released a PS3mote I think it'd lead to a lot of bad press. It'd obviously be admitting that Nintendo did something majorly right, and it'd just look like a complete rip-off of Nintendo. And remember that the PS3 costs about twice as much as the Wii, which is another reason why all the casual gamers are flocking to the Wii - it's not just the remote.
But I think that Sony and Nintendo fans...
FirstknighT, wil4hire: You're both bots, just for different systems. Now let the Rock 'Em - Sock 'Em Robots fight continue!
Fun list! I tried playing SH2 alone in my dorm room (couple years ago) with the lights off and door closed. 30 minutes later I was playing with the lights on, door open, and music playing on my computer.
Sounds like an awesome game based on many of the reviews! If I owned a PS3 I'd definitely be picking it up - congrats to those of you who do!
Are we going to get a new top 10 news story every time someone else confirms this price drop?
We know, 40 gig PS3 in the US - $399. We know, we know, we know.
It's exciting for Sony fans, going to mean a hike in sales. Yay. Let's move on until we actually see the sales numbers, and then we can get 15 more stories about that.
STOP MAKING AWFUL GAMES FOR THE WII
STOP IT!!!!!!
How many flops will it take for developers to stop making these awful awful games for the wii? This is pitiful. AND PARENTS: STOP BUYING THESE GAMES FOR YOUR CHILDREN, you're not helping!
AGH! Frustration.
Wait, I haven't played my wii in almost a month.
Crap.
But I don't mind not having two amazing games a month, then I'd just be spending $100+ a month on games, which I could be spending on alcohol! I'm fine with waiting for Galaxy, MOH, NiGHTS, Smash, and MarioKart. Besides, I have friends who own the other systems, and it's easy enough to mooch off of them.
I'm so excited for this! I've really wanted to play this game, but I wasn't going to buy a Sony system just to do it. I hope it doesn't take them too long to convert the graphics/controls! :)
Also, I cant believe PS3 owners can be pissed about this. You can play Okami on your system as long as you don't own the 40gig version. Do you want it to be ported with PS3 on the box? Otherwise, it doesn't affect you.
this game looks gr1m as fvck

Just out of curiousity, I'd like to know how many HD-DVDs the same amount of content would have taken up.
And that's not a bash at HD-DVD, I'm really just a curious lad.
Yes, the audio has a very high pixel count. Duh!
I really don't care about this format war at all. Don't have a preference, don't care who 'wins'. But clearly blu-ray won this battle. Ouch for HD-DVD.
My Wii is collecting dust right now. I'll admit it. I'm not going to buy a bad game just so I can play my Wii.
But I'm okay with it. I have friends with the other systems, and I have a computer. And I know that Galaxy is coming out, and a bunch of other good games are on their way too. I don't mind waiting.
Also, MaddensRaiders: I agree with what you say a lot of the time, but this is just wrong. The Wii has better graphic capabilities than any last-gen sys...
Is it just me, or are any other Wii owners just not excited about this game at all? The graphics look pretty awful (at least compared to the first party games) and "flying through rings" sounds quite dull. I'd love for more great Wii games, but what does this game offer?
LOL THIS GAME WILL LOOK LIKE CRAP ON THE WII.
HUAHEUAHEUHAUE.
No, seriously. Take bubbles away from everyone who didn't even read the summary of the article at the top of this page.
I disagree with a lot of what you wrote. About all of the systems. Mostly though, are you really too lazy too use the sixaxis for Lair or point at the screen with a Wii game? I'm not talking about gameplay or how good/bad a system is, but just about your laziness. Jeeze man.
I think the reason things are worse this generation is that there are three consoles from the start. I much prefer two. So hopefully one gets weeded out eventually. It's like when a sports league exp...
Just an fyi to some idiots out there.
It was a joke. I didn't actually think that was true. Thanks for knocking me down a bubble for a joke. Appreciated! :)
I lol'd at that picture.
And I agree with your extention of my comment. And I don't even own a PS3 (yet?). But there's nothing wrong with hoping for the best with every game on every console, is there?
Is ANYONE going to buy the 360 Arcade? What a waste! How is it not worth spending the extra $70 on the Premium?
Also,
"Sony announced a $399 40GB PS3 for the US on October 17"
"The Financial Times reports that the $399 PS3 will be available on November 2"
Both from this story. One is wrong. Which one? :p
