Personally I'm glad Blu-Ray is winning out. It's much better technologically. 50GB and a 50mb/s data stream makes it definitely the choice of audio/video-philes. Higher quality video and sound than HD-DVD make it much more attractive.

My advice with the Wii – Don't sell the sucker. Could still turn out well.

Think of the DS. It had 3 must haves… In a year. Come on. But eventually, DS took over PSP and the people that sold during the first year got WTFpwned. Hold onto your Wii (lol). I lived off advance wars for 6 months,

Why does the 360 have more games? It has been out for about 3x as long. At launch all it had was Perfect dark and kameo. And i didn't like Perfect dark.

That doesn't mean surely the Wii will come back to WTFpwn, but come on. More then half the time selling consoles/games is a BAD IDEA. There has been 2 consoles you should have sold that were mainstream. Vertual boy and Sega Saturn. Gamecube is a matter of opinion.

On the PS3 – the console is lagging behind, but even if it doesn't take off, there are plenty of reasons to hold onto it.

Woops. Just saw RE4 in your "Games I'm playing" section. Hah.

Just playing THAT justified… well, taking my niece's Wii for the weekend. But if I owned a Wii, that'd be justified too. But… I can't find one.

If you haven't played Resident Evil 4 for the GC (and I hadn't), get it for the Wii.

It was made like 2 years ago for the GC, but it's awesome on Wii, with the aiming and everything getting revamped.

The best part is… it's only $29.99, because they released it for the GC already. And it's more fun than any of the actual Wii games.

Good luck at your new job… The news about HD-DVD is sad because even though I have not upgraded to either one yet, HD-DVD was looking like the smart solution since the costs are much less than Blu-ray.. I guess I will go out and see if any of my local Blockbusters have HD

[...] think Matt Brett summed the situation up perfectly in his recent mini rant on the subject: “…and what does the Wii have if not a unique control scheme? Terrible [...]

My only gripe with my Xbox 360 is the fact that it could break any day. And after dropping $427.xx on this thing, that really pisses me off.

I almost fell for the Wii but then imagined that most of the time I will be playing on my own and decided, naturally, that I want better graphics – guilty as charged!

Looking forward to the new blog design.

I like the freedom of doing freelance but having a full time gig and a steady paycheck has been MOST welcome as of late.

I hear ya on the 360/Wii. I use the 360 far more often then the Wii, but there are goin to be some great games on the horizon for the Wii. Just look at the DS when it was released, people bought em up but the software didn't catch up right away, but now it's a run-away success!

I got a Wii on launch day and I am…somewhat disappointed. I did enjoy Zelda and Super Paper Mario. RE4:Wii Edition looks good, too. I am waiting for SSB:Brawl and MP3 as well. I just hope it wasn't a waste…
