[PrOnEsSim]

Less than two weeks away (Nov17. and Nov19), Sony's Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii will be launching here in the Americas. Wether your a hardcore gamer or a casual gamer, are you planning on getting your respectives systems on launch day? or wait till the holiday season or your bday or w.e.?

For me, ill be going to my local best buy with my brother before midnight(nov18) so we can get our hands on Wii.

what about you guys? are you ready for the next gen?

i'm spending at least 430 on launch. Which includes extra controllers, extra nunchuck, 3 games, sd card(?).

Arent you exicited about possibly the greatest zelda game ever? Twilight Princess. and possibly one next big series (if there are sequels) Red Steel?

I have no interest in buying a new system on the year of its launch I don't care to pay those prices.
And I like to wait for the bugs to be worked out.

I think I'm going to upgrade my PC to a Socket A and just get mental on some freecell and minesweeper.

the $1.5k is meant for ps3.. mb, should have clarified it.

zelda will be the game of the year imo. and once it gets that, the zelda series will live on as the greatest game series ever made. Only final fantasy and mario will come close.

but still, i'd wait at least 6 months before i get a new console, i want more game library, cant just get a console for 3 or 4 games.

I don't plan on getting either anytime soon (Wii eventually), but man HD tv's look nice as shit these days, at least for the game systems. Chromehounds, Fight Night Round 3, etc etc all look beautiful. Can't wait to see how the Wii and Ps3 games look on them.

Demo Kits Are Out. Omfg! I Need To Goo And Find A A Ride

The new Zelda will be released for the Gamecube, too, and as far as I know will be exactly the same; you can even use the Wii controller with it.

[Troll King]

Just to clarify that point: There will be two editions available, one with Wii motion control, one with traditional Gamecube control. From one retailer I've checked so far, the price is the same. You can play the Gamecube version on the Wii, but you'd have to use a Gamecube controller. The Wii version will also be able to run at 16:9 aspect ratio, the Gamecube one won't. Oddly enough, the release date for the Gamecube version has been delayed until December while the Wii version will launch a few weeks earlier with the system.

for me, wii is all about the controllers and game play. cause from resolution/graphic wise, wii isnt that big of an upgrade from gamecube.

[Necromotic]

wii is a souped up xbox so i'd say it's manageable. you don't need mindblowing graphics to have fun (example: subspace)

Today, Sony made our day a whole lot brighter by showing up with two PlayStation 3 debug units: one for our sister publication PSM, and one for us. We opened up the (huge) box, pulled out the hefty, shiny, stylish unit, as well as a whole mess of cords and hooked it up to a sexy HDTV for some immediate next gen action.

Then four out of the five games Sony gave us didn't work.

This made me laugh cause my Xbox 360 broke on me and the test PS3s seem to break, too. I hope the Wii doesn't fuck up so badly.
