i'm still rockin' out to gh and gh2 on my ps2.  i plan on purchasing a wii sometime soon because i have heard it is nothing more than down right innovative fun.  and that is what games have been missing lately.  innovation and fun.

I'll by the 360 when either it drops price, or they package it with the HD DVD player.  Hopefully they'll just put the drive right in the 360 instead of just having the attatchment.

The orig xbox.  Games are all under $20 pretty much, with the older ones between $5 and $15 (used).  Can't beat the prices on shoestring budget.  I have games that I haven't even had the time to play yet but I bought because they were only a few bucks.

Back in the day, I had an NES, SNES, and a Sega Genesis.  (Never more than two at a time.)  The NES broke.  Don't remember what happened to the 16-bit consoles, I probably gave them away.  Time passed.  I didn't play any video games for years, until a friend got me to try Final Fantasy 6-8 and I got hooked, but only because I was semi-interested in video game programming.  Then I got it in my head to play Final Fantasy X, and since I couldn't get an emulator working good enough I bought me a PS2.  Half way though the game, though, I got bored, and ended up giving that console away as well.

I don't see myself buying any video game consoles in the future, not even when I have kids.  I'll be a total disciplinarian parent - my kids will be too busy competing for an early admission into Dartmouth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dartmouth_College) to have any vegetative fun growing up!  And the only TV channel we'll have in my house is the one broadcasting live feed of the NH state legislature (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Hampshire_General_Court)!

I can never be a leading member of the Free State Project myself, but I will raise my kids to be exactly that!   :x

EDIT: nope, I'm only half-joking.  Parents have the right to push their kids as hard as they see fit.

sony "says" they will have one million units in the states by the end of the year. 

the launch for the ps3 was actually larger than for the p32, though.  they only had two hundred thousand units available then.

of course, nintendo says they are going to ship two hundred thousand units every week until the end of the year.
oh, and speaking of the wii, i have a friend who thinks, since it is the wii Nintendo Entertainment System, we should call it the wiiNES (prounced weenus).  spread it around to all your gaming friends.  maybe we can get a nice trend started, ya?

The PS2 weren't going for 3 K though.  They were going for like 1600.  That's a serious step up.

I heard you can download entire PS2 games onto the PS3, which could be a few GB hence you may need more space.

The PS2 developers are still churning out good games like Bully and Final Fantasy X2. Also, there are many people who want to play older games because they are fun. It's quite similar to the Virtual Console concept for the Wii.

why buy these old games to play on the wii, when you can have every nes and snes game for free via emulator
i have'nt found many roms for n64 games, but I havent looked in awhile either
i have a pretty good collection of sega roms, and i think i might have some neogeo also

Lets see hmmm.  I think my first game console was a tandy 3000 with a casette tape which held the game program. circ. 1978,  I graduated to playing at the arcade.  I major Qbert addict.  Then in college I had a system that I played many many hours of Fester's Quest, mostly because I did overnight security and it was boring.  After college I didn't have much time but sometime around the late 90s someone introduced me to Tomb Raider on PS1.   Having more free time I dove into and got hooked on the Final Fantacy series.  I realized I had a problem and went cold turkey for awhile.  We now only have a PS2 which my nephew plays racing game on Grand Prix and Burnout.  No plans to purchase an upgrade anytime soon vid games just aren't that important to me.  However I have been somewhat attracted to the Wii because you move more than your fingers.

i think you might have to wait a very long time for that.  nintendo tends to not have very many M and definitely no AO games for its consoles.

personally i hate the rating system on games.  parents should be clued into what their kids are doing and not relying on the ESRB to provide a rating to say if its appropriate.

dammit, one of the coolest things about the first MGS was when you were being tortured and in one of the codec scenes naomi asked you to put the controller on your arm then made it vibrate.  felt really good after all that circle button mashing.  and the thing with psycho mantis?  when he made your controller move with his mind?  awesome.

Im pretty sure the "cheap" 20 gig PS3 doesnt come internet ready, besides the extra gigs.  So, you'd have to buy addons to go live if you're into that. 

So, once you buy the addons you're already at the 60 gig price. 

I think its cool that they have the blueray installed in it, cant get one of those for 600 as a stand alone componant.

I was talking to a guy the other night who has seven ps3's ...  he paid friends to stand in lines for him.  A week or two before xmas he's gonna unload 'em all on ebay for around four grand each, if not twice that, depending on how high people will go.  so, figure maybe 5k each, paid 800 each, he stands to make about thirty grand.  Or more. 

Bastard.

I've heard about people paying others to wait in line.  It's a pretty smart move.  30 K for a no risk investment of 5600.  That's a new car right there.

There are so many proprietary problems with the blu-ray that I'm...reluctant to get into a large argument about.  The long and short of it is that Sony basically pushed production on this big time, so now they have a lot of bugs that users will have to encounter.

Blu-Ray has a distinct advantage in that it got to market first.

You can now walk into your nearest computer store and buy a Blu-Ray burner for your desktop, a laptop with a built-in Blu-Ray burner (saw this for the first time Black Friday), and plenty of blank discs.

No sign of HD-DVD on the store shelves.

I've seen a few.  According to the guys at best buy, they haven't had to do service on one since they started selling them earlier in the year.  This compared to the blu-ray player, which they claim has already given them some problems.

I don't think the general public is too keen on Blu-Ray. Most average Americans have just gotten used to using DVD's in the last couple of years, after using VHS for so long and now they're being told that there's a bigger and better player out there and that they'll have to update their entire movie collection...again. I think that when they see the DVD part of HD-DVD that that'll entice them to be more accepting of it, though.

I do not own any console.  I have played one video game, and I failed miserably at it.  I'm sure I could fuck up Pong.  And yes, I actually do know what Pong is, thank you very much.

Lindsey is also the lady that told me about the ball touching game.  I have come to love touching balls.  I swear, it has become one of my great pasttimes and I owe it all to Lindsey for teaching me how.

Thank you Lindsey.  I swear, the game spread viral and like 100+ people played it because you told me about it (including the FTL crew, my friends, their friends and so on).

Yoshi Island was good, but that wasn't an RPG, right? SUper Mario RPG was ok.  There were only three real good RPGs on the Super Nintendo, FF2, FF3, and Crono Triger.

The thing I miss most about the Super and Sega are the fighting games.  Today's games just don't compare to Eternal Champions, Street Fighter II Turbo (or the Sega version), and Killer Instint.  My favorite none 16bit fighter is Tobal 2, after that, everything went downhill.

I hope Eternal Champions comes out for the Nintendo Wii on the VC, I'll buy it.

There's talks of bringing back a lot of the first party Nintendo RPGs. I'd get a Wii just for those.

If you've ever played Super Smash Bros. Melee, Marth and Roy are the two characters from Fire Emblem.

I have not.  Never played the gamecube.  I would get SSBM but SSBB is coming to Wii next year so I will wait for that.  You should get Wii because it is super fun, not because of some RPG.  Hell, even your parents and cute girls will want to play the Wii with you.

Modded xbox. Nothing's better than having almost all of the SNES, NES, sega genesis, atari, gameboy, and arcade games, as well as 50 N64 games on your xbox(except maybe on your PSP). Wasn't too expensive either, $50 for someone to buy a modchip and install it, and $60 for an 60 gig hard drive(numbers might be off).

Only problem with it is that I can't play xbox live. That's why I might buy a xbox 360 once the price goes down some more.

...Also, downloading xbox games from isohunt is ok.

I would rather play them on a Wii, though (the best controller for classic games, IMHO).

You should get an X-box 360 when the new ones comes out later this year.  Too bad the security is so good on the X-box 360.  I will likely get a 360 or PS3 in a couple years when they are better, cost less, and have more games to my tastes.
