The wii is finally hacked, and the ps3 has linix support built in, but what about the 360? I havent heard any news about 360 developments in a long time. Have we just givin up? i would like to play nes, sega, and user created games on my 360, and play leagal backups without a mod chip. the wii will get this the psp and ds have this and the ps3 is getting there but nothing at all for the 360? just a very complicated linix that i havent heard about in at least a year. come on guys get on it.

Today I was looking at PS3's when I can across an article at http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/322906_sony09.html 

it said

"Sony is cutting the price of its primary PlayStation 3 game console by $100 in the United States, seeking to regain traction in a market it has long dominated.Putting a new twist into the video-game console wars, the company on Monday is announcing a new price of $499.99 for the 60-gigabyte PlayStation 3, effective Monday. Sony says it also plans to introduce a new PlayStation 3 model, with an 80-gigabyte hard drive, at a price of $599.99." and this was on July 8th 2007.  I did a google search to see if it was a joke and came up with this.

"The limited amount of top game titles yet available for the Playstation 3, as well as stiff competition from Nintendo's Wii and Microsoft's Xbox 360, have forced Sony into lowering its original price for the 60GB PS3 from $599 to $499. The price cut is effective immediately.  In addition, Sony also introduced a new 80GB model. Aimed at online gamers and entertainment enthusiasts, the 80GB model will ship in August for $599. The online-enabled racing game MotorStorm will be bundled in the sales package."

I went to best buy's and circut city's websites and the 60gb ps3 was for $500, a $100 price drop and E3 is hear yet.

YES!!! I can now buy one.

Okay, I'm not saying the I'm a Sony fanboy. I respect all other consoles, but I'm here to explain why it is what it is.

If you look at the Sony PS3, and all it can do. You can only say one word... wow. The Ps3's power resides within the eight processors and the RSX graphics. The PS3 can function as a fully functional computer if you tinker with it for a little while. I was playing my PS3 on my HDTV at home one day and my girlfriend walked into the room and asked "what movie am I watching?", when in fact I was playing MotorStorm. It's that realistic. I've upgraded my HDD to 250GiB so I've got all my movies, songs, & photos. A built-in web browser? what more can you ask for.

    Yes, the network of PS3 users isn't very powerful and yes it is a little over priced. When you look at the long-run, you're making a great investment! Right now you buy a PS3 at $599.99 USD you buy a Xbox 360 Elite at 499.99, then you go ahead and buy a HD-DVD player, which still isn't as-powerful as Blu-Ray and you've jumped over the PS3. Not counting the price of Xbox Live. Which for a year is 59.99. So, 60 dollars a year, over let say you play it four years, that $240.00! The PSNetwork is completely free, of course you buy your special game of PSP games from time to time which at most costs 10 dollars.

    Then we move onto the Wii, yes, the Wii is a great console for a family. I do give it props, but when you look at it's functionality, it's a joke. No memory card, no HDD, no wireless built-in. By the time you buy all the special attachments for it, you've gotten up to the price of a PS3. To all the people that say that it's not a fad, and is the best, sorry to break you heart but... why would I stand on my living room and use my Wiimote for tennis and be jumping all over the place when I can go down to my local Play-It-Again Sport's and pick up a tennis racket and a couple of balls, and play with my friends. Video games are meant to be played from the comfort of your couch.

Overall the PlayStation 3 is a clear winner in the end.

What is next-gen? The Wii, Xbox 360, PS3? Does the wii qualify? the answer is yes. Believe it or not, Nintendo has not yet released the Wii's full graphical capabilities, although many websites claim it has worse graphics than Xbox 1. In my opinion, the most manageable console is the Wii. It has an excellent cooling system, fast loading, and is just plain fun. Lately, however, people have been busting on the Wii's capabilities, not realizing that it does look good. The Wii comes with a composite cable, but if you buy the component cable, and have EDTV or HDTV, you can play Wii in 480p. For starters, most people have EDTV, this is what it is(from the back)EDTV, or 480p, doesn't sound like much compared to HDTV. But it is in fact a major step forward in picture quality. On a big screen it looks closer in quality to HDTV than it does regular television. And it is here today in its full glory. Nintendo utilizes EDTV, because that is what most people have, like me, and I did not even know!

See the green and blue "component" cable plugs?

This means you have an EDTV, and you can play you're Wii games in 480p, which is closer to HD that standard-definition in terms of visuals. I think that Nintendo did the smartest thing, because I can play my Wii in 480p, which is like HD. Another interesting fact is that we really do not know what the Wii can do yet, because Nintendo has not released the complete specs. Games like Zelda:TP on the Wii @ 480p gives you a glimpse of the Wii's graphics, when you play a Wii, you realize that the graphics are enough, and find yourself immersed in a game that even still looks vibrant.

Personally, I think that the Wii is the best, although many other people would argue otherwise. Just keep in mind that if you're not looking for extreme graphics in HD, don't want to shell out 350$+ ,or just want something simple, the Wii is probably for you. I know its graphics do not beat the Xbox 360's, but no other console gives you more fun for just 250$. When it comes down to it, games were created for entertainment and fun, not for the admiration of picturesque gameplay, even though that would be nice.
