I think you're right, and it's unfortunate. I see SLI as a great budget option, for the reason I outlined above. Just to put it in perspective, remember that two GeForce 6600GT's slightly outperform a 6800GT. For our purposes, let's just say each of these provides equal graphics power, since...

It's that time again... I've been thinking of putting together a new system. Since it's been a while, I've had to do some research on the new tech that's out there, and SLI owns me. For those who don't know, SLI lets you run two video cards simultaneously, which share video processing duties...

Yeah I have it on my PC. But I only have an Athlon 3000+ and 6600GT so I don't have the graohics dialed all the way up. Still, it's a freakin' awesome game. Awesome. Already my pick for game of the year 2006.

Steve, even if you're right, two years is two years. The Wii is coming out in the next few months. It's not a big deal.

Well you can keep insisting that there needs to be a battery pack, that's fine. I agree that it would be a good thing. But come on, don't bring these crazy distortions in here. I have never, ever in my life seen a pack of two AA batteries for $8. You must be shopping in the only convenience...

I think you're right. Okay, stand up. Turn left. Turn left again. Turn left again. Turn left one more time. There's your free 360.

Wow, exaggerate much? $2 per hour? I have a few electronic devices that use AA batteries and go through them fairly quickly, so I have a few rechargeable (not alkaline) batteries. $20 gives you all the juice you'll ever need. Maybe if you failed third grade because you can't do math you'll...

Yeah they're all trying to run businesses here, they're going to do what's best for the bottom line. To be fair, each company does seem to have a different ethic, but in the end it comes down to the black ink. As far as the stripped down PS3 goes, there are going to be some pissed off people...

It's true that Sony will sell PS3's, and this system won't be a total failure. But there's more to it than just selling systems. Sony is not Nintendo. Yes, there are some good first party franchises in Sony's barrel, but not enough to keep a console alive. The key to keeping third party...

It will become the standard at some point, it's just when that point arrives that will be the question. Nintendo is making a solid move based on their marketing of the Wii by not including HD gaming. Regardless of when HDTV will become mainstream, it certainly isn't now and probably won't be...

Um, not really Steve. Did you read that? "The FCC now requires that any larger TVs with "analog" tuners also be marketed with built-in or separate DTV tuners, and this will soon be a requirement for all TVs—so you should be seeing more and more "integrated" or "built-in" products in stores...

There's a big difference between HD-DVD/blueray and gaming in HD though. Providing HD-capable graphics (640i, 1080p etc) is a hell of a lot cheaper than HD-DVD/blueray, and it sounds like this is what Nintendo is talking about for the Wii. For example, even though the 360 needs an addon for...

Can I be an anti-Chris? I know this guy Chris who I really, really don't like.

And yeah if anyone wants to meet up via WiFi I'm all for it, just let me know.

Tetris DS.

Don't forget: No WiFi.

Yeah, when the PS4 comes out and it's $150, then maybe I'll get it.

I'll be getting a Wii as long as it costs less than $300 for the hardware. I'm seriously considering getting a 360 if there's a price drop around the corner. Even $50. I'd get the pro system for $350. The PS3 is simply out of my league. If I'm going to spend $600, I'll be building a new...

I wonder if a lot of games will support the GC controller, like the new SSB title will. That'll obviate the need for the "classic" controller. The setups look fairly similar; d-pad, two analog sticks, four face buttons.

I read one article that had a Nintendo rep saying (paraphrased, I can't find it again) that the Wii "probably" will cost less than the PS3 and "might" cost less than the 360. That doesn't seem to put it in sub-$200 territory. I'm revising my earlier estimate of $179 to $250, with a game(s).
