Well, if you can get HD via the component then that... Helps. But I still find this whole 'Hey, let's use SPECIFIC plugs and force everyone to buy whole new thousand dollar TVs!' just because of fear of piracy... When said new method is probably going to be cracked open /anyway/...

Well, you probably shouldn't be buying a PS3 for movies anyway. And maybe Sony'll do something that bypasses the ICT for the PS3. :P

It took 3 years between the first two Halo games, I think November 2007 would be perfect timing. Personally, i've enjoyed the games, but I find them insanely overrated. :P

Yes. FFvXIII is an action RPG by the KH team. FFXIII, apparantly, is a more traditional FF. Or perhaps FFXII styled, I dunno at this point. Different directors for each game too.

Your favorite game is something that hasn't even come out anywhere yet?

As long as it's justifiably $60, I don't mind. However, there's several games that're 60 yet are $50 on current gen systems, one case /$40/ on the PC, with no upgrades outside of something like achievements. Quite frankly, that's a load of bullshit and shouldn't be tolerated. Ofcourse, it looks like those games are the first to hit price drops, so maybe people will knock it off.

Edit: A bit late, but looking at Superflat's response... I fail to see how this is less serious; I think it's more so if anything. Everything you opted out of getting for the X360 premium pack could easily be bought later on and added, outside of chrome plating on the disc plate. This, however, removes several built in features that may not have solutions later purchasable for - ergo the only way to get them may very well be to buy the more expensive model. Combine that with the fact $300 was the standard new console price, while $500 is a fuckload more, and... No. This is /much/ more serious.

If possible, I'd probably be an ass and get both versions. We've been waiting forever on the GC game, but I really want to check out the Wii features too.

Well, they may have intended just that originally, but plans changed for whatever reason. Glad it isn't that shell anyway; button layout's great for GC games but just isn't as practical for a good number of older games.

That shell controller wasn't Nintendo's idea, but rather IGN's concept art. If you pay attention to the details, you could tell that not only was it photoshopped, but it couldn't work anyway.

I've seen the back of the system: It's got an ethernet port. So you'd basically have to buy an adapter later or something to go online wirelessly... Not that Sony's announced any such solutions, but there's still the good ol' fashion wireless stations.

Official site.

Personally, I'm really disappointed. We haven't had a Shadowrun video game in over a decade, and when they /do/ make one, it's not an RPG but rather what sounds like a Counter Strike clone in a sci-fi/fantasy setting. Sigh.

Anyone who cares about Shadowrun even remotely still hoping this turns out well? It'll be nice, but I'm not all that interested now.

The 20 gig one will not only have a smaller Harddrive, but it'll lack the wi-fi, the memory stick readers, and the HDMI output. I've complained earlier in this thread about that.

And not the boobs? :P

It's only been about a year and a half since it was first mentioned, and it does take a good while to develop games - if nothing's heard in a year or two, /then/ I think it'll be vaporware

Fuck you, that's great, but what about STARFOX DS or YOSHI'S ISLAND 2?

Now that I looked at RPGFan's feature... I'm guessing that PSP content rule /is/ true. Dammit, SCEA's too fucking anal for anyone's good. So what if there isn't that much new content, I just want to play stuff like BoFIII and Suik1/2 on the go.

Ah well, VP:L was the remake I was interested in most anyway; Suik1/2 would've been nice but I beat those already and those discs are fine. :P
