I am X-Box 360 man myself,I like consoles in general but I've am not impressed by the game section for the WII.

The PS3 was alright.

Wii game selection is hit and miss, I agree. I've bought some crap but the occasional gem (like Excite Truck - best game ever, Mario Galaxy/Kart etc) fully make up for it. The other two companies tend to make less games but the average quality is slightly better.

my ps3 has a 320gb harddrive, I put it in there.

Plenty of Youtube videos of folks swapping out their hard drives on their PS3's - not difficult at all. Not sure if it's worth paying Sony the premium for the 250 GB, when you could probably get an even larger drive for less.

Think I saw Sony with the new stuff out at Shinjuku last night. Free demos and all! Japan has turned me into a complete geek and otaku. I rarely leave the apartment anymore! And when I did, I saw the new stuff! I should have stayed inside?

There's no excuse for them not to do this. Even the old 40 GB PS3 had software-based backwards compatibility.

Hopefully they'll allow it again when the PS2 goes out of production. The're still making money selling those at $99 (Y14800 here!) and are banking on people owning both. Waste of labor and materials, if you ask me.

The $350 gaming console will have a 250 gigabyte hard drive, more than twice as big as the recently launched slimmer, lighter PlayStation 3.

Not big deal you could get one 1TB hard drive easily from electronic store these day.

I think you are the one dreaming.

Anyway, with PS3 finally working their bugs out and you finally being able to chat during game play and you finally get things for completing your games, and even though the online has improved, it still is ok. Glad the PSN network is better too with more DL's but still a bit overpriced and why should I have to pay so much for PS2 games on PSN that are not even worth that much anymore?

360 just sucks cause I have to pay for a subscription. Marketplace is ok, but can be pricey like PSN. Between the two, software is the only problem I have with the PS3. I still have to wait for God of War III and Final Fantasy...but for the most part, PS3 just sits there...good for watching Blue Ray...
