I think DVD will stay the standard. I don't know a single person who even has an HDTV.. and those who want one sure as hell don't want to pay even more for DVD's.

Personally, I still buy VHS (cheap as fuck and I usually don't care about special features and shit anyway and the picture's usually not that bad, so..), but I'll buy DVD's too. I sure as hell ain't buying blu-rays or HD-DVD's, and I think I represent the majority when I say that.

Thats kinda what I was getting at, to some extent. Theres no guaruntee that any new technology will catch on. There will eventually be a format that replaces the DVD, or at least becomes the standard (much like DVD did to VHS). But will it be blue-ray or HD dvd? Who knows. It may be something much further down the road as well.

What I was saying was that its dumb to invest in something very new like this, because:
a) it may not catch on well, much like betamax and laserdisc
b) if it does catch on and become the standard in a year or two, its gonna be a hell of a lot cheaper than it is now. Remember how fucking expensive DVD players were when they first came out? They were several hundred dollars. Now its easy to find a basic DVD player for less than $50.

i dont want a wii. the whole remote thing seems stupid. i am happy with my ps1 and gamecube.

I am eagerly waiting for the zelda release on gamecube since it has the same graphics, same everything besides the remote thing. the wii copy is actually just a port of it from gamecube with different controls. so i think the gamecube version will play much better.

december 13th.....

there is one minor difference: everything on the gamecube version is mirrored from the wii version. right is left and so on. but yeah, no difference other than that.

and the DS is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than the psp. the psp will be dead in a year.

The PSP/PS3 interaction seems pretty cool. I haven't tried anything out yet. I'm not sure if it is available currently, but I hear you can stream things from your PS3 to your PSP. At first it will be available from within your home, but my dad mentioned something about it being available from anywhere, eventually.

I remember something that said, eventually everything is going to be broadcast in HD. I'll try to find something on that.

Edit: Everything should be going digital, not necessarily HD:

really? i love the psp but i think the ds is so much better because of the whole stylus thing, plus, the ds has MARIO!

speaking of which, if somebody can help me w/this: is there any way to change the button configuration on the DS? Some of the game boy advance games are so hard for me because the buttons are switched.

Valve is really interested in the Nintendo Wii. The guy from Valve (Doug Lombardi I think) was talking about possibly doing some sort of Half-Life project for it that utilized the controller.

just wait it out for about a week or so. once the second shipment comes in, you shouldn't have a problem getting one.

I don't think I'll get a Wii. I'm still trying to decide wether to get a PS3 or an Xbox 360? Which one is more powerful? But I'd rather have a new SEGA sytem. That would be so great.

I'm still waiting for Shenmue 3. There are rumors that it will be released during this generation of consoles. Whichever console it gets released on is the console I'm getting.

PS3 is more powerful than the 360. I think the 360 has better games though.

(I still haven't acutally played my dad's PS3)

I might get a xbox 360, I've been working like a dog these couple of days. I did eleven hours on a day that they pay me time and a half.

Coming to the point of the thread. I have the PSP I like it, but need more games to tell you more about it. I will get the xbox360 and maybe Wii when they have it a my job. I didn't like the ds I thought it was lame. Also nintendo needs to get better games released than those that they have released before.

I waited in line with a friend starting at 4 o'clock in the morning so he could get a Wii. I usually hate game consoles except ones by Nintendo and they certainly did not disappoint this time.
