Sony was really the only impressive conference. Nintendo unveiled Wii Fit, which doesn't look to good, but it uses a separate control method which is a pad that sense your motion.I think it would be pretty cool if they used it on an actual game. The Wii Zapper with Resident Evil looks cool too.

QUOTE(smalls2598 @ Jul 11, 2007 -> 05:50 PM) I just bought a Wii yesterday. Can I get some personal reviews for the following games: Zelda Paper Mario Resident Evil 4 Zelda is one of my favorite game ever. So is RE4 on GameCube.

Mario Kart Wii Online looks sick.

QUOTE(bkmoney @ Jul 11, 2007 -> 03:32 PM) i think that he should have played pujols. i mean i like rowand but pujols is basically jesus or something i read something like la russa wanted to keep a player in case it went to extra innings, but i disagree they had a shot to win it right there with the bases loaded. seems like a bonehead move to me I think we all would have made the move. However, you don't go calling out your manager because of it.

What an idiot.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 11, 2007 -> 06:47 AM) B>W, since you seem to be the go-to guy for everything Wii, is there anything I should know features wise about the Wii besides the obvious playing of games? For example, is there anything online related with the Wii, do I have to sign up for anything (ala X-Box Live), and if I do, is it worth signing up for? Nothing to sign-up for. Everything is free right out of the box. The Wii doesn't have many online games right now but I figure that should change by the end of the year. The other online features include a weather channel, an internet browser, a news channel, and a shop channel(Download all the classic games and other things here). There's a couple other kind of gimmicky channels too. Good thing is that they are are always going to be adding new channels it seems.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 11, 2007 -> 05:22 AM) Played a Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero buried alive match on SVR, does that make me a bad person? Yes. Although I laughed so I can't say I'm much better.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jul 11, 2007 -> 05:52 AM) did they show a video? How were the graphics? Looked just as good as the PC version. And I guess it has a bunch of PC exclusive content(so far) too.

QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Jul 11, 2007 -> 05:41 AM) Any news worth reporting? No. The biggest announcement has been Gears of War to PC. Not even a new game announcement or anything.

And the 360's press conference is incredibly boring.

I heard that PS3 was going to get a big-time exclusive that was a previous multi-console game. Haze immediately came to mind to me as well. And I wouldn't call it the next Halo, it will be better than that. Well, TimeSplitters 2 is probably the best FPS to ever grace consoles, and this is being made by the same people(Who also made GoldenEye and Perfect Dark).

QUOTE(Shadows @ Jul 11, 2007 -> 12:33 AM) Man, I LOVE Guitar Hero.. Anyone else here play it? I just recently found this video of what the new Rock Band game is going to be like and it looks like it would be a lot of fun to play with a group of friends, get drunk and just go nuts with it.. should be badass, although wonder what the price will be considering all that comes with it.. It's only 200$ for the whole thing. Yeah, only.

QUOTE(Shadows @ Jul 11, 2007 -> 01:04 AM) What is the difference between the elite and the premium? and dont throw numbers at me I dont know what that means, I need it explained out Everything I've read leads me to believe the Elite is a rip-off for the extra money. All it has is extra memory and an HDMI port. HDMI is just another way of putting things in HD, but Premium already does, just in a different way that is just as good. The Elite has 120 GB of memory, which I think is an ungodly amount of memory but like you I don't fully understand the numbers. The Premium has 20 GB of memory, which I believe should be just fine unless you're a very hardcore gamer. So yeah, I would go with the Premium if you are going to get the 360. Plus the Elite looks very, very ugly IMO.

A little e3 gossip before Soxtalk goes down: Joyst1q: We don't know exactly what this means ... heck, we don't know what it means at all, but we thought it was too cool to not pass along to you. Eagle-eyed (and quick screen-grabbing) reader Rickard Gudbrand sent us a screen capture he took while looking through Gamerscore Blog's flickr photos of Microsoft's E3 rehearsal. The image shows the three Xbox 360 SKUs we all know and love, in addition to a mysterious fourth wheel that appears to be a gray 360. Making the whole thing even weirder, after Gudbrand commented on the photos' four boxes, the pic (and others showing the stage) appear to have been removed. So ... what is it? As you can see in the image, the box seems to be on the opposite end of the spectrum from the Elite, which maybe indicates that it's at the opposite end of the pricing spectrum too. We heard about some new, cheaper production methods for the 360, could this be a low-priced model taking advantage of that? We'll hopefully find out tonight. A nice and cheap version would be sweet. I already have PSWii so I don't have a need for a third console, but I could pick one up if the price were right.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Jul 10, 2007 -> 07:24 PM) Word from e3 is that the president of konami stated he feels the price of ps3 is still too high and will consider porting metal gear solid 4 to other systems to make up for the development expenses It won't fit on a 360 disk though, or else they would have done it by now.

Is it bad that I probably watch more NBA Summer League than the actual NBA?

I've been hearing so much about this trailer. Finally it's been uploaded. Looks sooooooooo awesome. Brilliant marketing idea too. More links: http://www.ethanhaaswasright.com/ http://ethanhaaswaswrong.blogspot.com/ I have no idea what these links are, if anything. I just saw on another message board that they might have to do with the movie.

I'd be fine with it. "faster site, able to search, doesn't crash when big news happens, etc" would be well worth losing my post count.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 09:01 PM) um... that's what I said. My reading comprehension FTL

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 08:54 PM) Funny, this exact rumor was suggested here a few days ago. Given the misspellings and past bizarreness of that Fan Nation site, one wonders if the source was indeed right here... I'd say it's more likely fan nation is using recycled message board banter for their stories.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 07:58 PM) I find it very hard to believe that folks who take care of a child as intimately as a grandparent would not know of such a serious medical issue. Time will tell I suppose. Oh I agree. I just found it odd that the initial report said the grandparents probably didn't know about it, and then they come out and deny that he ever had such a condition.

QUOTE(Shadows @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 08:01 PM) I know someone who has had to send theirs in THREE times already.. and his warranty has expired as well.. you do not understand the violent rage I will go into if it breaks and I cant get a new one Now onto the next big question.. Do I trade in my XBOX and all my s*** now and get as much as I can or do you think that the trade in price will prolly be the same a couple months from now? I currently have the XBOX, 2 controllers, NCAA 07, Madden 07, FIFA 07, MVP 05, and then like 3 or 4 worthless games that prolly wont get my anything.. If I were you I wouldn't trade in anything because the trade in values are usually a rip-off. I don't think you would get more than $35 for that package.

Biggest active thread on Soxtalk. Woot.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 02:59 PM) The grandparents are quoted in People denying any health issues with Daniel. And the initial report of the person who reported the Fragile X syndrome said that not even the grand parents knew about it.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 01:54 PM) I posted a link ealier. It's probably in page 8. According to that link, it is suppossed to occur on July 17, same day when NCAA 08 comes out. I think their going to bump it up though. My guess is tomorrow and Sony will announce it at their press conference. EDIT: Actually, it starts today.
