Price prediction for the PS3- $400, roughly.

"Sony to take $100 loss on $399-priced PS3, says new report"

It's still pricey, and even after the PS3 launch, it's too early to get either one.

Still getting a 360. Looks like shortly after Christmas too.

We're waiting for the Revolution. IGN.com says developers are unanimously speculating that it'll cost somewhere around $100. It's wireless internet-enabled right out of the box - no subscription necessary - and you can play all the classic Nintendo games.

Also, the 3-D motion capture controller with standard controller abilities, looks really sweet.

Nintendo has gone after a different market. Although the GameCube lacks online play, and one of the launch titles (Mario Sunshine) sucked, Nintendo still has some great games.

* Metroid Prime

* Metroid Prime 2 Echoes

* Super Smash Brothers Melee (second version most likely a launch title for Revolution)

* Link (most likely for Revolution now)

But Nintendo has also really concentrated on the DS. If you haven't seen/played with one of those things, you really should. You can do some pretty crazy things with a stylus and touchpad.

The Revolution is a definite 'buy'. The other 2, the 360/PS3 are 40/60 I'm not really impressed by anything MS has put out yet, and the PS3 hasn't even been released.

However, the PS3 has franchises I already know and the companies who produce them.

It's still too early to tell.

The Revolution will be interesting, even without the emulator option. I'm already very impressed with the capabilities the DS touchpad has offered, so I really want to see how the Revolution's gyro/point-aim controller works. It looks like it'll add a whole slew of gameplay options you'd sacrifice buttons for on a normal controller.

Here's a nice bit of info: the DS is outselling the PSP in Asia and Europe. And, on Ebay, the most expensive DS package is the Hot Pink w/ Nintendogs package. Looks like Nintendo's goal to bring in the non-gamer is working wonders.

I've been thinking about getting a GBA SP with one of those holiday bundles, but I've heard about how people have figured out how to run emulators on the PSP allowing the playing of all kinds of games on it. It's much more expensive, but man, if I could play NES, SNES, Genesis, etc... games on it then it might be worth it.

With a little work..........you can have your original xbox playing all the old nintendo, genesis, playstation, etc games.

With a little work, you can rig a PC to run PS2/Xbox games as well. There's a guy I know who has his Xbox rigged to his PC and has piles of old games running on it. I've got the NES/SNES emulators on my PC, and with an actual gamepad, they play great.
