.....no hard drive standard, backwards compatibility not standard, HiDef not standard, weekday Live play not standard, wireless controllers not standard.... WTF.

So, 20gb hard drive for $100??!  I can buy a f.cking 300gb hard drive for $110.  Launch titles will be $60.  Wireless controllers are $50.  Nonwireless controllers are $40.  64mb memory cards (1019 blocks) are $40.  The RECHARGE UNIT FOR WIRELESS CONTROLLERS IS $20.  The HIGH DEFINITION CABLES ARE $40.  This is complete BS.

My estimate of next gen:

Nintendo, first place with Revolution launching at $199.  Microsoft in second place, with the "real" Xbox 360 launching at $399.  Sony in last place, with the PS3 launching at $699.

THANK YOU for settling the confusion I had.  I was just about to make a topic on the 360 Board on GameFAQs.  Course then I saw how many there were and none of them answered it like this.  Kinda sucks, I was hoping for a good system for $300.  Oh well, I guess I'll just save my money.

The only board on GameFAQs worth visiting is Next-Gen Gaming in the Special Interests category.  Of course, that board also involves 90% of the trolls on the entire site, and has a good 90% of all the flame wars on the site, but oh well...

I don't see why people say GameFAQs is full of trolls.  Maybe I just go to different boards than them.  I usually just go to the game boards.

PS3 is gonna be $699? US cash? That's about.... $5000 Canadian! *shot* Really thought, it's about $750 Canadian. THat's t3h suxorz. I think Nintendo is gonna sweep the floor around MS and Sony with the Revolution. Not that I'm against that. Compare SSBRevolution to Halo 3 or FF14 (what number are we at now? I began to not care after 9...)

I expect great things for Nintendo. For that price, of a mere $199, that's nothing compared to Xbox 360 and PS3, and it probably has abunch of neato stuff as standard.

I'll see for myself when these three beauties come out. I mean, the PS2 was great and the Gamecube was just as awesome (sorry, but I had little love for the X-Box). Who knows. Statistics like that mean nothing to the fans. If you ask me, I'm getting both a PS3 and a Revolution.

If they make Mechassault 3, then I'll for sure consider an Xbox. (it's about the only 2 Xbox games I really liked. Unreal Tournament I liked way mroe than Halo, so it was nothing good for me. MECHASSAULT FRO T3H WIN!!1!)

Revolution and PS3 for me. I love them both. Nintendo got me started on games and Sony's Playstation kept me playing.
