Managed to get my grubby mitts on both new consoles. Still haven't picked up a 360, although it won't be far off now, I'm sure. I was pretty close to cracking down and buying all three the same weekend... just, er, cuz.... but I didn't. So far, the Wii is pretty great... though it's currently in standby mode until I can get some component cables. After looking at Zelda on my LCD TV, and seeing it on a standard TV, I'm refusing to subject myself to the mess that is Wii on HDTV until I can rid myself of those lousy composite cables. Seriously Nintendo... big oversight not having those available. Clearly Nintendo missed the mark on the HD stuff. I don't mind it being inferior graphically, but it should at least look good on a good TV. As for the PS3, I'm pleased with much of it, though it still feels a bit like a beta rather than a full release. The store is stagnant, the backward compatibility is pretty annoying at this point, and much of the potential is only being hinted at currently. I have little doubt that it will grow into it's skin... it just isn't quite there yet. Still, having a blast with Resistance and Riiiiiiidge Racer. Why no 360 yet? Well, I made a promise to myself at it's launch last year that I'd wait until it had 5 games that I really wanted to play, since it's backward compatibility is pretty lousy and I didn't want to have 2 Xboxes hooked up just to play a handful of games on each. So far, my list of 360 games I'm hot to play, that aren't available elsewhere, and are currently released, is 3... though Gears of War should probably count for 2 games by itself. Come on guys... gimme another gem... we're so close. And yes, the PS3 I DID pick up before it had 5 games I'm hot for... the Wii too. But I'm actually quite interested in next-gen DVD, specifically Blu-Ray, so the PS3 is a good fit... and the Wii... well, it's got waggle. All in all, though... both machines are pretty sweet. I think this generation has a lot to offer on all fronts... all three consoles are pretty hot. Now if only the fanboys on every side could relax and just be happy with what they've got. Yeah, I can dream.
