If I have a clear day this weekend (doubtful though because we may be traveling down to San Diego), I may end up going. I have never gone, but this year looks to be pretty exciting. School gets out early on Friday, so maybe I can convince my parents to give me a ride there.

[Adam Richards]

I'm not really paying attention to much except for X-Box 360 and a possible announcement about Halo 2.5 (i.e. features, screenies, etc.).

[KenWittlief]

I fogot to ask if our company is going to have someone there?

we finally got our production up to where we have a few units left in inventory at the end of the week, but one good hit of advertisement would reverse that and put us into back-order mode again.

Im the project engineer for the V920 and M920 (our commercial products) - this is our website: www.icuiti.com

the LCDs we use are 640x480, which makes them perfect for watching videos, or for any game system designed for a standard TV monitor

[Joe Matt]

Oh my god, the PS3 is the uglies thing in the world...

but the specs are amazing!

[Conor Ryan]

yeah its ugly, heres a picture

Specs are good too, but its going to be the Game Developers that will make the difference. The hardware on both platforms are sooo advanced.

Well, that is the FINAL design, that's what they showed at the press conference yesterday. Now, the Revolution, well, from the USA Today picture, it looks really sexy!

nintendo is coming back in force... thats all i have to say... if they get the games... they will easily beat out the xbox... and have a good hard fight w/ the ps3...

[Conor Ryan]

The problem with nintendo right now is 1. they need hardware that can seriously compete with the other systems, especially the new ones. And 2 they need to win a bunch of old fans back, they can do it but its gonna take some great games to do it.

And yes PC > All

But from the preview its looking like the consoles are the ones to look at, my early prediction from the console winner is Xbox 360, one because of the 512 ram vs the 256, but because they seem to have one the fans over faster. But PS3 which finally has 4 controller ports will be a good competitior. But prices above all, will probably rule the winner out.

I think X-Box 360 will eventually win overall, but for different reasons. Halo already has a loyal following and will bring PS and NGC users to microsoft. In addition, it appears that X-Box 360 will be here in time for the holidays while Revolution and PS3 will not be out until next year. PS2, in my opinion, won the last round because they used their extra year to build a superior game library.
