I get my info straight from the source ("the source" being Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo). $475 is a confirmed number for Microsoft as of the last monetary plans I'd seen. Granted, I've been out of the loop for about five weeks, but those are the projected prices. I haven't seen anything new regarding sale price from any of the three companies, so I'm sticking by those numbers for now.

I do, however, expect Sony and Nintendo both to lower their projections as their systems come closer to release... next year.


My buddy Joe and I were talking about Nintendo's next console. Granted, LAN parties with 16 people playing Halo are fun, but does anyone here REALLY think that could even begin to hold a candle to an eight-man Smash Bros. match? Or sixteen?

Nintendo may be "childish" in the eyes of some people, but those same "childish" games are the most entertaining games I've ever played in my entire life, and I've got a good seventeen years of gaming under my belt. When it comes to multiplayer titles, Nintendo has always come out on top.

The introduction of online gaming only makes it sweeter.
