You know what's scary?  All the next gen consoles will be out in about a month.  That's pretty scary because with how expensive they are, I'm not gonna be picking one of these systems up for at least 6 months.  Let's not even talk about PS3 shortages, the Wii flying off the shelves and the xbox 360 still being a hot commodity this year, because with a late November release, more parents are going to be saying to store associates, "you tell little Johnny why he's not getting his (insert system here) this Xmas!"  It's gonna be freakin crazy.  That being said, I will use this time to complete the latter of my current gen games and PC games; by the time I finish the bulk of these games, shortages should be over and more games will be out for all the systems as well.  Plus, who knows if the PS3 or even the Wii will have overheating issues like the 360, so it's almost worth it to wait a year for things to blow over.  I just hope people have more decency this year than last.  With folks stealing 360's from kids in the parking lot, crazy parents and shortages, tied in with the Xmas season, it's gonna be a long December.  In closing, I will not be picking up a next gen console this year, but if someone purchases one for me, it's not my fault (didn't buy a DS initially, my Mom did for my December 2004 b-day, who'da thought?!)
