QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ May 19, 2005 -> 07:14 AM) Just something quick on prices: It now appears that Sony may opt for a compromise price-wise, according to the Mainichi Daily News. An article that ran on the Japanese newspaper's Web site said that the PlayStation 3 could potentially sell for under $500. "The new machine, which will have a higher performance capacity than personal computers and provide sophisticated movie-quality images, will be priced at less than 50,000 yen each, according to [sony] officials," said the paper. At today's exchange rate, 50,000 yen is $465.58--more than the $299 many expect the Xbox 360 to sell for, but less than the $699 to $799 PS3 price tag many had feared. If Sony follows the pattern it set with the PSP, which sells for around $190 in Japan and $249 in the US, the console will likely be slightly costlier stateside. --- Have a good time with your $500 ps3's, guys... As long as the Revolution is $300 (or less? ), I'll be all set... Edit: Now I'm reading that the ps3 is about a dozen times more powerful than ps2 while the Rev is only about 3 times as powerful as Gamecube? That worries me. Nintendo better have something up their sleeve... Please don't tell me your that guillable. You don't honestly believe that the PS3 is 12 mores times powerul than the PS3, or that the XBox 360 is 35 more times powerful than the Xbox, as Microsoft said. Sony is the same company that said their PS2 would resemble Toy Story in terms of graphics. Developers have already stated the Rev is on par with the XBox 360 in terms of power. Anyway, due to all the clues Nintendo has left and the speculation the the Real Rev has not been released, I'll post this video(Released May 13th): http://media.cube.ign.com/articles/613/613578/vids_1.html Don't know what to think of it.

Nintendo is ON to something. Their playing some sort of game with us. The puzzle will be resolved tommorrow.

12:01 Yeah, bring the insults.

He looks like Greg maddux...

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ May 18, 2005 -> 02:51 AM) If they're smart, they'll continue the trend of offering the relatively cheaper option since they're basically in 3rd place right now. I'll be pumped if the price is affordable...They're smart to build on their history and gain an edge with nostalgia... It looks like I'll have to save up for broadband next year... Playing Mario-Kart 64 against on-line players is gonna be soo f***in' awesome. 2 Words: SSB. Online.

QUOTE(Cy Garland @ May 18, 2005 -> 02:37 AM) From NintendoNow You gotta pay for em, i hope its not a hefty price... That isn't exactly confirmed as of now....

YES!!!!!!

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 18, 2005 -> 02:15 AM) By this you mean they will all be on disc format or whatever the Revolution games are formatted like? I assume. I haven't read much on the Revolution. So what you're saying is I can play the likes of Tecmo Bowl and the original Donkey Kong on a new piece of hardware? Yes, it is Per download, though. Nintendo is putting a big focus on Online it seems. I never liked the idea of consoles going online, especially Nintendo, but I say this is a pretty sweet deal.

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ May 18, 2005 -> 01:54 AM) I dont know, a screen less then one inch wide doesnt do much for me? It looks like one of those 10$ digimon pocketmonster things. Nintendo should have saved their money from all the handhelds the released and put it all into making a super handheld that would blow away all others. Sony waited awhile to make PSP and that thing blows DS out of the water. They are....coming in the form of the Nintendo Evolution. Backwards compatibility with the GC. Amazing indeed. That blows the waste of money PSP way out of the water.

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ May 18, 2005 -> 01:31 AM) http://www.flexbeta.net/main/comments.php?...&shownews=13207 Nintendos next hand-held. Looks really stupid IMO. That things pretty pimp. Might be a mistake by Nintendo though because they don't mean it to be their real next gen handheld, rather just to coencide with the other 2 handhelds. It's too bad the consumers won't see it this way.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ May 18, 2005 -> 01:25 AM) Wait.....what the hell is "The Rev"?????????? Nintendo Next Gen. Comes with every GameCube game, Super Nintendo game, N64 game and Nintendo game ever made on the system at launch. Amazing.

QUOTE(YahtzeeSox @ May 17, 2005 -> 03:28 AM) wtf is Revolution anyway? Nintendo Next Gen.

Next Gen Racing game Wow, these Next Gen grahics are going to be inane. Anyway, 42 minutes 'til the Rev makes his sermon.

Hmmm.....not too sold on how it looks. The look is a lot like the Xbox 360 if you ask me, although much more polished and overall better looking. Well, without further ado: Pic from IGN.com The graphics look insane, specifically Killzone 2. There will be a new GTA released at launch as well. Release date is at Spring '06. The Rev to be released at 11, can't wait for all the anticipation to be resolved. Edit: I'm having a lot of problems posting tese pics, just go to the site with all 8 images:PS3 Pics.

New PS3. The Rev will be announced tonight at 11. Can't wait. Hmm.... Don't seem to be working right now, here's the site: http://media.ps3.ign.com/articles/614/614619/imgs_1.html

Wow, amazing. Making backrounds is a popular thing to do around here these days, but I have to say, that may very well be the best Sox backround I have ever seen. EDIT: All this coming from Crede's biggest hater.
