Or just a thread about it.

So far, Sony and Nintendo have done their press conference, microsoft is coming up next.

Highlights for Sony:
-MGS4 was shown, looks absolutely amazing for fans of the series.
-GT4 running in high res on PS3
-NEW WARHAWK! YES!
-Tilting feature in the controller (oh my, how original)
-No rumble feature (due to the lawsuit in progress?)
-Controller now pretty much looks the same as ps2 controller, but wireless
-Two Prices: $500 for 20GB and limited functions, $600 for 60GB and full function
-PSP now able to download PS1 games, uses for PS3 include rear view mirror in racing games (seems kinda like a waste)
-Interesting EyeToy game shown
-New Naughty Dog game that looks pretty amazing
-November 2006 release

Highlights for Nintendo:
-Wii Sports games look like A LOT of fun
-Red Steel and its innovative FPS/controller usage
-SUPER MARIO GALAXY
-Zelda for GC/Wii/DS (wii functionality looks great!)
-Yoshi's Island 2(!!!), Diddy Kong Racing, and Starfox DS for DS!
-Ouendan for DS is coming to the US with some wacky name (Elite Beat Agents). I hope they keep the music intact
-Metroid Prime 3 for Wii (though the graphics for the first two were great anyway, so this didnt really shock)
-speaker in the controller sounds so cool when used
-Mario Basketball looks amazingly good on the DS
-conducting game looks crazy and awesome for DS
-Excite...truck? looks like hydro thunder a little bit actually.
-no mention of price, Q4 2006 release
-no mention of virtual console games

will have some microsoft highlights and comments later. maybe.

Yeah..it's nice to see all the new stuff..eagerly awaiting the PS3 release (although, not looking forward to the price tag..), probably wait a year or two to get the PS3..just like I did with the PS2.

That way, all the cool games of today will then be at the cheapass price of yesterday.

$600 for the fully functional PS3 console..includes support of hd-dvd, 60gb hard drive, and a monstrously huge e-peen (I spent $600 on a console!!#@$), or, $500 for the less functional version..meaning, you only get a 20gb hard drive, no wireless support, and no hdmi.

Wow, I knew it wasn't going to be cheap, but, I didn't think it'd be a $600 release point.

I'm getting a wii!
