From what I've been hearing even if the PS3 were to retail @$399 sony would be losing over $100 per console and estimated to lose over 1 billion dollars in the first year year alone. While Microsoft is a big enough company to afford a lost like that Sony is not and could really hurt the company big time. You figure a blu-ray player alone is suppose to cost $500 plus add all the other goodies a PS3 is suppose to have I'm not even sure if they would be able to sell the PS3 for $399 more like $499 and they would still lose money. I don't know!?! Be interesting to see what happens but I think microsoft is set up to win the battle this time around, You figure they have square on board this time around plus full support from every other publisher under the sun. Plus at least a 5-6 month head start over sony and also a known and proven online service with xbox live. I another big hint for me was E3 expo 90% of the stuff shown for the PS3 was pre-rendered stuff where 90-95% for the xbox 360 was running real time and alot of it was playable on the floor with alpha kits which were only about 50-60% of the power of the final xbox 360 hardware. Like I said i'm not sure who's gonna win this round but my money is on microsoft.

Well finally back with a review of the card, not a full one but at least a short break down of my feelings about this card. right now i would give it a 5 of 10, the sound quality on most stuff is really good but the support and drivers right now are very sub-par!!! I'm having alot of trouble getting my ati tv tuner card working with it and trying to get answers right now is next to impossible. I've sent them 3 emails over the past 2 weeks and haven't gotten 1 reply. I've seen afew people in various forums having problems with ati cards and this soundcard. There are some driver issues with certain games and this card for some reason GTA:SA has a weird bug whenever it rains all others sounds stop until rain stops, very weird never happened w/ audigy 2zs. BF 2 keeps crashing when i enable hardware mixing for some reason but i know other soundcards have same issue so probably just the game. Music, movies and most games sound awesome, still have to install doom3 which is suppose to be amazing with this card. Hopefully most of the issues i'm having should be able to be fixed w/ driver updates. I will post a better/full review when i have a chance, been crazy for me lately because i'm a new daddy. Me and my wife just had a little girl on 7/13/05 named Jordan Eve, 7lbs1oz 20.5inches long. Both mother and baby are happy and heathly so no worries there.

http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/8767/Shadowr...r-the-Xbox-360/ can't wait!!! I remember playing shadowrun pen and paper and also on Snes/Genesis :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

Here's a couple of reviews I ran across, It's great to see a new soundcard with dolby digital live! One of my biggest complaints about moving to the Athlon 64 platform is the lost of my nvidia soundstorm MCP sound. While I have an audigy2 zs which has been good but never really compared to the dobly digital live sound from the digital output of the soundstorm for games, music and movies. I have the same speaker setup as B.ob. the logitech z680's and have ordered one of these soundcards(which should be in tomorrow and i will update with my impressions). Oh in the first review they complain about 2 driver bugs which have already been fixed with driver updates. Also there's 3 places that I know of that carry this soundcard -- NewEgg, Xoxide and FrozenCPU -- all are the same price with about the same cost for shipping but FrozenCPU you will end up having to pay taxes. Xoxide's standard ground shipping gets here in 2-3days as they are in PA(so either newegg or xoxide will get here in the same amount of time and cost about the same). If i like this soundcard which i'm sure i will I'll be selling my audigy 2 zs retail for $50 I still have all the manuals and box plus it came with 2 full games tomb raider-angel of darkness and rainbow six 3 raven shield so if interested just PM me. http://www.nvnews.net/reviews/x-mystique/index.shtml http://www.3dxtreme.net/index.php?id=hdax-mystique1

Oh Yeah downloaded it and i'm pretty impressed so far even if it is only 1 sp map and 2 mp maps plus timed on the sp side. It seems like a worthy sequel to BF1942. Sorry but i didn't care for BFV felt more like a mod than a sequel. Plus i know this is a very small taste of what the full game is gonna be. 10 days and counting P.S. for nvidia card owners it has newer drivers built in 77.30- they have been working fine for me, haven't done any benchmarks but haven't had any noticable slow downs or bugs in games

Yeah it's a big patch, jump from 1.42 to 1.50 and with battlegrounds added it's alot more stuff. But at least it wasn't a hugh patch 48megs, not bad considering how much stuff was added/changed. I haven't tried the battlegrounds yet but I've read in some of the forums there's a que to get in and some servers that people been waiting over 3 hours to get in I guess I won't be seeing them anytime soon cause I'm not waiting over 3hours to get in, I'll wait till the rush dies down a bit before trying them.

The much awaited battlegrounds patch for WoW goes live today. I would just link to the patch notes but haven't had much luck with getting to the blizzard's site today as usually on a patch/maint. day. So here you go --- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.5.0 (2005-06-07) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Battlegrounds arrive! The Warsong Gulch and Alterac Valley battlegrounds are now available. The Warsong Gulch entrances may be found in the northern Barrens near the Mor'Shan Rampart (Horde) and south of Silverwing Outpost in Ashenvale (Alliance). The Alterac Valley entrances may be found east of Sofera's Naze in Alterac (Horde), and in the Headlands of Alterac (Alliance). General - Wands - The Shoot Wand ability is now a toggle. While active, it will continue attacking with the equipped wand until some other action is taken (movement, spellcasting, item use, etc...). - Pet speed has been increased when out of combat and following their master. - Berserking (Troll Racial) - Updated tooltip to clarify ability only usable following a melee critical. - Hardiness (Orc Racial) - Fixed a bug that caused many abilities to ignore the additional resistance. - It should no longer be possible to disarm traps created by friendly players. PvP - Honor system Dishonorable kills - gained by killing a trivial Civilian NPC - now has a negative impact on a player's honor. Enough dishonorable kills will reduce a player's rank all the way to zero. Players may now see an "estimated contribution point value" in the combat log for an honorable kill. Note that this value does not take diminishing returns against the same player into account, and is therefore "estimated". "Team Contribution Points" has been renamed to "Honor" Added tooltips to the different elements of the Honor System UI. Players will see their last week's kill data in the "Last Week" section of the Honor System UI even if they did not achieve the 25 honorable kills required to gain standing or rank. Fixed a bug where the PvP trinket rewards were not always removing the effects they were designed to remove (e.g. Polymorph, Fear, Stun). - Sitting characters will now stand up immediately after an attack, even if stunned. - Players can no longer swap inventory gear while dueling. - Dueling is now allowed within Everlook. Hunters - The Hunter Epic quest has had some of its Demonic Corrupters retuned. It should also be noted that Hunters that attempt to bypass the single player portion of the encounter by using another class to do their tasks will fail the quest in a most glorious fashion. - Tranquilizing Shot - Is now properly affected by Efficiency and Hawk Eye talents. - Unleashed Fury - Fixed a bug where the damage increase was lower than stated in the tooltip. It should now increase damage by the listed amount. - Growl - Rank 1 effect improved. - Volley - Damage increased. - Pet speed has been increased when out of combat and following their master. - Spirit Guides in Battlegrounds will now summon/resurrect your current pet when the Hunter is resurrected. - Unstabling dead pets no longer puts players into a degenerate state where their pet only partially exists. Unstabled dead pets can now be properly revived, and players can no longer train more pets than their stable can hold. - Fixed a bug where magic shots were missing too frequently when used on a target with Blessing of Protection active. Mages - Mage Armor - Now has a new, unique icon. Paladins - Fixed a bug where a Hunter's magic shots were missing too frequently when used on a target with Blessing of Protection active. Priests - Inner Fire - Now stacks with other effects that increase attack power and armor. - Holy Nova - Cooldown decreased. - Feedback - Casting a higher rank of the spell will now replace an existing, lower level effect. - Unbreakable Will - Fixed a bug that caused many abilities to ignore the additional resistance. Rogues - Riposte - Fixed a bug where the ability was not usable against a disarmed or unarmed target. - Vanish - Should be a lot more responsive when used to avoid incoming attacks. Shaman - Fixed a bug where Fire Nova, Flametongue, Stoneclaw and Windfury Totems had incorrect level caps when cast by higher level shaman. All totems should now be summoned at the level of the caster. - Flametongue Totem - Tooltip updated to clarify that only the main-hand weapon is enchanted. - Windfury Totem - Tooltip updated to clarify that only the main-hand weapon is enchanted. - Fire Resistance Totem - New icon. - Frost Resistance Totem - New icon. - Grounding Totem - Fixed a bug that allowed some area of effect spells to be "grounded" and/or destroy the totem. Warlocks - Improved Drain Mana - Damage caused is now considered Shadow damage and is no longer reduced by armor. - Improved Voidwalker - Now increases all Voidwalker spells (now also including Sacrifice) by 10/20/30%. - Improved Succubus - Now increases Succubus spells by 10/20/30%. - Master Summoner - In addition to decreasing casting time of summoning the Imp, Voidwalker, Succubus and Felhunter, it now reduces mana cost by 20/40%. - Improved Enslave Demon - In addition to reducing the attack speed and casting speed penalty of enslaved demons, it now reduces the resist chance of Enslave Demon by 2/4/6/8/10%. - Demonic Sacrifice - Is now instant cast. - Improved Firestone - Now also improves the bonus Fire spell damage of Firestones by 15/30%. - Inferno - The summoned Infernal will now be enslaved for 5 minutes before turning on its summoner. - Drain Mana - Targets with no mana will no longer be valid for Drain Mana (Rank 4), making it consistent with all other ranks of the spell. - Improved Drain Mana - Damage caused by this talent is now improved by the Shadow Mastery talent. - Conflagrate - Range increased. - Siphon Life - Is now instant cast, damage increased. - Paranoia - No longer causes threat when cast. - War Stomp (Doomguard) - Now has a maximum of 5 targets. - Pet speed has been increased when out of combat and following their master. - Honorable kills will now generate a Soul Shard when Drain Soul and Shadowburn are used. - Spirit Guides in Battlegrounds will now resurrect your last Imp, Voidwalker, Succubus or Felhunter. If the Doomguard or Infernal were the last active pet or the previous pet was killed before the Warlock, an Imp will be summoned. - Improved Curse of Agony - Fixed a bug where Curse of Agony (rank 1) was not improved by the talent. The talent will now work properly with all ranks of Curse of Agony. Warriors - Overpower - Fixed a bug where the ability was sometimes blocked. - Improved Cleave - Now increases damage bonus by 40/80/120%. - Blood Craze - Talent design changed. It now regenerates 1/2/3% of the warrior's total health over 6 seconds after being the victim of a critical strike. - New Fury Talent: Dual Wield Specialization - Increases damage with the off-hand weapon by 5/10/15/20/25%. Note: the additional damage also increases rage generation significantly. - Iron Will - Fixed a bug that caused many abilities to ignore the additional resistance. - Enrage - Increased the number of charges to 12. Decreased the duration to 12 seconds. The new duration is the limiting factor for slower weapons (e.g. Arcanite Reaper will typically get one less swing), while dual wielding and faster weapons will make better use of all of the charges over the duration of the ability. - Concussion Blow - Changed to an instant, stunning attack and removed the damage portion. - Shield Specialization - In addition to increasing % chance to block, it now gives the warrior a 20/40/60/80/100% chance to generate 1 rage on a successful block. Items - The following item sets have had their statistics, effects, and set bonuses updated: - Arcanist, Netherwind, Prophecy, Transcendence, Felheart, Nemesis, Cenarion, Stormrage, Nightslayer, Bloodfang, Giantstalker, Dragonstalker, Earthfury, Ten Storms, Might, Wrath, Lawbringer, and Judgement. - Mature Blue Dragon Sinew and The Eye of Shadow can both now drop off appropriate level demonic and blue dragonkin monsters. It should be noted that both Lord Kazzak and Azuregos will guarantee a drop of the aforementioned items but to get the items from the lesser creatures will be a much rarer occurrence. - Essence of Eranikus now has a poison cloud graphic around it when used. - Murloc Scale Belt and Breastplate recipes now are white items instead of green since they are vendor bought. - Gryphon Mail Gauntlets now have a proper inventory icon. - Ogre Toothpick Shooter now uses the proper attack animation. - Distracting Dagger now sheathes properly. - Mountain Giants in Feralas now drop loot more appropriate to their elite status. - The Druid of the Claw quest in Teldrassil will now provide a weapon choice more appropriate for low level Night Elves. - The Dreadmist set now has a bonus for wearing all 8 pieces of the set. - Cutthroat's Loincloth name changed to Cutthroat's Pants. - Ritual Kilt name changed to Ritual Leggings. - Felstriker effect's name changed to Felstriker to reflect the previously patched item name change. - Ogre Pocket Knife, Peacemaker, and Lok'delar, Stave of the Ancient Keepers now sheathe properly. - Dragonbreath Chili's effect visual fixed. - The Oblivion's Touch wand properly shoots now. - Deepstrider Tumors are now a 100% drop off Deepstrider sea giants in Desolace. - New art has been added for Nightslayer, Lawbringer, and Beaststalker's item sets. - The Arcanist Crown has updated art. Professions - New Engineering firework recipe added. - Added leatherworking recipe for mid level blue bracers. - Dragonbreath Chili proc rate has been reduced. - Restorative Elixir name changed to Resorative Potion with potion cooldown timer. Functionality has been changed so it should be more effective as it now dispels one harmful effect every 5 seconds for 30 seconds. - Two new transporter recipes have been added, with one for gnomish and one for goblin engineers. Gnomish engineers can get their recipe from Gadgetzan, Goblin engineers from Everlook. - Tribal Leatherworkers who have restarted their profession are now able to relearn the various Wild Leather patterns if they've already completed the quests prior to restarting the profession. Speak with Pratt McGrubben (Alliance) or Jangdor Swiftstrider (Horde) in Feralas to relearn what you once knew! - Small Throrium Veins now sometimes will have Emeralds or Diamonds. - Engineering Vendors now sell Blacksmith's Hammers. - Both types of the engineer made Jumper Cables now share a cooldown. It was never intended to allow a player to use jumper cables XL and jumper cables within the same period of time. - Solid Dynamite was inadvertently broken in the 1.4 patch to require harder materials than it should. This has been fixed. - Wicked Leather Bracers Plan is no longer bind on acquire. - Jumper Cables no longer have a chance to break when they fail. - Elemental Flux added to blacksmith vendors. Raids & Dungeons - Molten Core Firesworns that are moved too far away from Garr will now become quite enraged until they move closer to Garr. The eruptions from the lava in Ragnaros's Lair will now always happen while Ragnaros is in combat. However, these lava eruptions occur less frequently, do less damage, and the damage they inflict is now resistable. The maximum range of the Wrath of Ragnaros spell has been increased. - Additional new raid items have been added to the treasure lists for Azuregos, Lord Kazzak, and bosses in Molten Core. - Onyxia - Fixed a bug that was causing Onyxia's Tail sweep to no longer cause knockback. Quests - Searing Gorge has a new quest hub for both Alliance and Horde players called Thorium Point. The supported level ranges are 45-52. Craftsmen will be happy to know that the Thorium Brotherhood has opened up many new opportunities to gain favor amongst their clan (even for level 60 players). - The Hinterlands has a new Horde quest hub known as Revantusk Village, located on the eastern coastline. Horde players level 44-52 are encouraged to visit Revantusk Village and assist the Revantusk with their myriad problems and tasks! - All members of both the Horde and Alliance are reporting low stockpiles of various textile resources! Donations of cloth are now being accepted in the following locations: Darnassus, Stormwind, and Ironforge for the Alliance; Orgrimmar, Undercity, and Thunder Bluff for the Horde. Seek out an official Cloth Quartermaster for more information. - Several quests have been added to Feralas for level 45-52 characters. - Krueg Skullsplitter has moved from Thousand Needles to a more appropriate location at Camp Mojache in Feralas. - Highlord Demitrian is back! For those players unraveling the mysteries of Thunderaan, you may once more speak with the Highlord. - Dwarven Priests may now undertake the Molten Core discovery quest; "Attunement to the Core." By fixing this bug, we had to open the quest to all players once more. If you have already done the quest, you will not be required to do it again in order to access the Molten Core via the portal. - Highlord Bolvar Fordragon should no longer despawn when "The Great Masquerade" is activated. - Characters on the "A Strange Historian" quest are now correctly prompted to find Chromie in the northwest corner of Andorhal, where she and the ruined inn have been moved to. - The Gordok Courtyard Key and the Gordok Inner Door Key are now zone bound items.

It now properly only drops off of Geltharis for the quest, The Branch of Cenarius. - Failed quests will now indicate (Failed) in the quest log so it is easier to see them. - Typos fixed in the Paladin Epic Mount quests. User Interface - Innkeepers around the world now have a gossip option that lets you join a meeting stone directly from the innkeeper rather than going to the location of the meeting stone. Also these Innkeepers will now have background lore about each of the dungeons. - Levels Required for meeting stones have been increased. The intent is that a group will not receive party members from a meeting stone that don't really have a chance of completing the dungeon. - Meeting Stones have had their rules for what players are grouped with what other players relaxed. This means groups who use meeting stones (or innkeepers) should have their groups formed much more quickly than they were previously. - Pets of other party members will now display in the party UI. You can see pet health and harmful effects on the pet.

This is to improve account security in public game rooms. - Added the function TargetNearestPartyMember() to the UI scripting system. World Environment - The Thorium Brotherhood faction is now peaceful - players cannot go to war with them. - The Wildhammer Clan in the Hinterlands is now a peaceful faction to the Alliance, meaning Alliance players cannot intentionally declare war on them. - A new graveyard has been added near the east coast of the Hinterlands at the Overlook Cliffs. - The two Hinterlands graveyards are now using a system that will ensure that the spirits of dead characters go to the closest graveyard. - Buliwyf Stonehand, the dwarven weapon master in Ironforge, now properly tells you about the weapons that Woo Ping can train you in, instead of talking about himself. He does like going on about his own martial prowess. - Krinkle Goodsteel of Gadgetzan submitted a complaint to the local Repairer's Union and has had his ability to repair durability reinstated. - Brave Wildrunner of Bloodhoof Village in Mulgore no longer patrols through the kodo mounts. - Added new load screens for Deadmines, Wailing Caverns, Uldaman, Razorfen Downs, and Zul Farrak. - Discovering Valor's Rest now also pops the Southwind Village puzzle piece on the Silithus area map. - Many of the Swift Mounts have gained eye glows and some have had other tweaks made to them to improve their looks. - Additional mithril nodes have been added in Un'Goro crater - Genavie Callow in Undercity is now properly on the Undercity faction. - The Grow effect that Bom'bay in Sen'jin Village would sometimes cast on characters was reduced from 100% to 50% growth. - The Lazy Peons in The Valley of Trials now make a wood chopping sound when they are hacking at the trees. - The Dark Summoners of the Eastern Plaguelands have finally fully materialized and are no longer ghostly in appearance. - In Silverpine Forest on Fenris Island, moved a Rot Hide Plague Weaver's spawn point from inside a tree. - Neeka Bloodscar of Kargath no longer speaks as if she is in the Barrens.

I should be there this time(X fingers crossed X)

Sorry for the late reply, my computer has been on the fritz. Yeah I was thinking going to pick it up tonight and it was circuit city who had it on sale. I'll let you know, I also I have a teamspeak server set up that I use sometimes for WoW and NWN.

yeah the nice thing about this game is you don't have to pay a monthly fee, so if you don't get to play as much you don't feel to bad. Plus i like the fact that once you go out from the city or hubs your solo or just with the your group. No fighting a bunch of other people to try to get a quest done. I'm still waiting till a see a full review of the game first.

Anyone pick this one up yet? Let us know how it is, I'm kinda of interested in seeing how it is. WoW is getting kinda of boring for me now, the Guild I have now has kinda of strayed from what it's main purpose was to have a bunch of friends help each other out and quest and raid together. But now it's just everyone helping mostly themselves and trying to just build up their gold, BORING :snore: Plus the server I play on is full of gold farmers now and the economy is screwed and everything good is way over priced and the good hunting areas are always full of people and their are more choads on there then cool people. Plus the higher your level the less stuff you have to do

Hey guys sorry i didn't come but it's pretty crazy for me right now, I had a few things pop up last min plus my computer just fried on me too. Posting from my server now, I think I have it down to either my power supply or my MB. This sucks i was looking forward to gaming and seeing everyone yesterday, oh well guess i'll have to wait for the next one. Again sorry guys and I hope to see you soon :cheer:

I would say over the last 2 months they are starting to get stuff pretty stable, like I said it's the reason I'm still playing. There was about 2 months there where it was horrid. I've been playing since the closed beta, I've also played some UO, EQ and DAoC but they didn't hold my interest for to long. I love RPGs but not a huge MMO fan, WoW is the first one I've liked enough to play this long. I'm not pissed at blizzard for having problems with most servers cause of the patch, I expected it. Just harrasing them a bit, as far as their service I'd say it's mediocre level but improving. Also some of the mid-higher level stuff is either not there or broken. Alot of the classes have no quests after 26-28 lev. My main rogue character's last quest was at lev 27 I think and they been saying that the second part of the quest was gonna be finished months ago and still nothing. Yeah I think they needed another 8-12 months before putting it out but the publisher wasn't gonna give that to them, so we got a some what buggy half finished game. At least they are adding alot of stuff without packaging it as a exp. pack and ripping us for more money but all the stuff they are adding is stuff that was suppose to be there when the game launched(honor system, battlegrounds, etc.)

LOL :rotfl: :flush: :rotfl: Most servers are still down because of disconnect issues and quest log roll backs, Man blizzard really knows how to screw up a patch. I use to think very highly of blizzard as a game company but after watching them trying to patch their game a few times and the extended maintaince time for the last couple of weeks my opinion of them has gone down. But they have improved alot of things over the last month or 2 as far as server stability and up times and that's the only reason I'm still playing. But I'm not sure if alot of people playing are running into the issue I am now? As you start getting up to the higher levs you start running out of stuff to do and the game starts to get real boring and stale. Oh well it might just be me but I can't wait till some new RPG's hit the market like D&D online, NWN 2 and Elder Scrolls 4 Obilivion but who knows when the hell they are gonna come out..

Yeah been waiting for this game for awhile, signed up hopefully I will be picked. X Fingers crossed X I will post if I get lucky.

Yeah some cool content but let's see how long the servers will be down or unplayable because of this lol. Last big patch it took them about 3 days to get everything running right. :rotfl:

I'm planning on making it to this one for sure unless something unforseen happens. Since I missed the last couple I really looking forward to making it to this one.

That's pretty sick stuff, I know I'm a WoW addict but killing a friend over a sword in the game is pretty stupid and scary.

Not sure but I would like Tiger Woods, Ridge Racer, NFSU Rivals or NFL Street 2 Unleashed. All look good and have received good reviews, Also games in the future I'm interested in are Archer Maclean's Mercury, Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition, Medievil, Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow, Hot Shots Golf, GTA, Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex, ARMORED CORE:FORMULA FRONT, Coded Arms, Death Jr. , ADVENT SHADOW, Ys: The Ark of Napishtim, Gran Turismo 4 Mobile, and Madden 2k6. There's almost too many games and I sure many more that aren't even listed yet.

All I can say is WOW!!!!! This is a great system, the screen is big, bright and has an excellent rez. Everything in the package except the carring case is high quality. Movies look great as well as games, the headphones supplied are awesome and double as a remote. The one thing i'm not sure if i like is the analog stick but I am getting use to it and starting not to mind it. Not really anything I can say bad about the system and everyone that I've shown it too(even non gamers) are blown away by it. THUG2 remix = 8.5 outta 10, anyone who likes the tony hawk series should pick this up Wipeout Pure = 9.0 outta 10, pure wipeout action, great graphics and good controls, it would make a great game for anyone's collection Twisted Metal Head On = 9.0 outta 10, I love twisted metal and even like it more on a portable, also has great graphics Lumines = 9.5 outta 10, great puzzle game highly addictive, I can see me and my wife fighting for PSP time lol Untold Legends = 7.5 outta 10, nice game with good graphics and nice game play but outta of the games I have I think it's the weakest title I own and that's saying alot Here's a good site on how to put movies/videos on the PSP http://opm.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3138994 Here's the site with PSP Video 9 software(great for converting and transfering video's on to the PSP, Plus very easy to use and FREE!!) http://www.pspvideo9.com/

Yeah there OK but when one of the best games is a port of 8-9 year old game it's pretty sad, Oh boy it has N64 graphics woohoo!!! :snore: Plus the thing is big, clunky and heavy, the touch screen is kinda of cool but i'm wondering how long it will last in the hands of kids. I'm expecting to see alot of broken ones shortly after a year if that long. Plus nintendo's track record with games isn't the greatest, you can expect maybe 2-3 really good games a year and not much more than that. Sony has the cash and developers to make the PSP a great system, I mean look at it now PSP has better games at launch then the GB DS has after being out for awhile now(and no i'm not including the GBA games it can play they shouldn't count(I mean if I want to play those I'd buy a GBA not a DS)) I think this is the beginning of the end for nintendo's rule of the portable market, PSP has better graphics and gonna have better games. The multimedia stuff will interest more than a few people, not saying it's a major selling point but could sway people away from just buying an mp3 player or a portable dvd system. I know it's nicer to have a 20gb ipod but i'm not looking to carry around that much music at once anyway and rather have the ability to play games, movies and view pictures. From what I've seen I think there's programs that let you rip avi's and mpegs down to work with the PSP media format and rip them down to pretty small sizes to fit the rez of the smaller lower rez screen so that's another plus.

Yep I'll let you know once I play around with a little bit. I usually wait for 2nd gen stuff as far as sony is concerned but I haven't read about any issues with the japanese version yet and it's been out a few months over there so I felt pretty safe buying this. Games I ordered -- Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade, Lumines(for the wife), Tony Hawk's Underground 2 remix, Twisted Metal: Head On and Wipeout Pure Want to get Tiger Woods, Ridge Racers, Archer MacLean's Mercury(when it's released next week) and GTA. Hopefully soon. I will have to see after spending so much already I might have to wait a couple months to get any new games but I can always do some trade-ins at EBgames hehe

Just wondering if anyone has picked up one of these badboys yet? I broke down and ordered one yesterday and should have it by tuesday and will post with my thoughts after I've had some time to play around with it some.
