Sadly, I cannot bring myself to buy an XBox 360. Why? First of all, I can only find the core system. The best thing about my XBox was no memory cards needed so I want my HD. Second, while passing a display the other day I noticed the prices of the games for the first time. I could wait for the prices to go down. There are enough $10 XBox titles to keep me busy for years and PSP games have had quite a few discounts lately. I could also rent the 360 games from GameFly, but if you ruin more than one disk you pay for it. The 360 ruining disks is another thing. I read about it as much as the power supply overheating. I work in a school district and I have been talking with kids who have gotten their hands on one. None of them have any problems. Oddly enough, the only one I know of locally that had problems was the Toys R Us display model. The RZone guy I talk to said they had problems with it since day 1. I think if I had a 360, I really wouldn't have any problems except affording the games. The last thing that pissed me off was an article I read about original XBox's and availability. All the sudden I see only $170 bundles. Where is the $150 core system gone. That's just not fair. Sorry, Microsoft. I'm going to wait for a new version. One thing that kept me from getting too 360 crazy was the promise of a spring full of PS3's. Well, the international standards people had a hard time agreeing on standards, but I think there was some progress today with the DRM standard used with the BluRay drives. Despite that, the news has been reporting the PS3 is going to be about $900 to make! I don't know about anyone else, but I was hoping for a sub $500 tag. I know overtime the price to make them will go down, but the $230 cell processor and the $300 BluRay drives are killing them. No wonder the 360 shipped without an HD optical drive. I guess for now I'll just hold my PSP close to my face and pretend it is a PS3. Sony's stock has been hurt by all the news and rumors abotu delays and production costs. So much new that it got me to thinking "What has Nintendo been doing with their new console". Honestly! Every night I go through 10 good video game news sites and I can't remember the last article I read about the system. I've seen pictures of the system and the controller looks like a remote from hell, but I know nothing about how production is going. Is no news good news or are they playing if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything?
