it' s a rumor ofc, but sounds quite real. Original story from GameSpot (IGN had it a couple of days ago too): http://www.gamespot.com/news/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=24904633&sid=6155907 Another thing worth mentioning - Zelda for Wii will be playable on Wiimote only - no GCN controller.The GCN version is playable on Wii with GCN controller.Quite obvious , but it' s a news story and it' a about Zelda :)

it really is cheap and at the same time it has extremely strong launch titles. It' s almost as strong as releasing 360 with halo 3 would be.

with that price it won' t hurt sales of anything - it will help selling itself though.Why not get a nice and revolutionary system with great games for such a small price even if you have both 360 and ps3 already? the only way it could hurt 360 or ps3 sales is if it turns out to be more fun them those two.And that' s in a long term, not just in it' s first week. I agree with Vx here - even more people will go mutlisystem this generation cause there are at least 2 systems that you simply have to own as a gamer - Wii and one of the HD consoles.And for the first time ever Nintendo has priced itself as a secondary system.

To be honest with you guys last gen even though I had 2 systems I only really played one. And this gen I have the 360 already and don' t plan on trading it in yet I would like to have all three but want things to look neat there' s enough wires everywhere. So I was thinking of which I would get next and have already saved up. I' m thinking ps3 but i' m thiking about the games in the long run. I' m thinking wii but but i' m worried about it ending up like my gamecube did so i' m still undecided.

I don' t like having all systems at the same time so I play them all one by one untill I' m completely done with them (I' m nearly done with my last system for this gen - PS2) :)

I hate having all the systems infact iv' e never had all of them under one roof iv' e always had one to start off with. Then try one at a friends house and the other at another to try and decide which two will give me the most gameplay and best games.

A fighting game could never sway me from a console! They are only fun for a limited time, i like deep engrossing expiriences like Mass Effect!

True maybe i' m just searching deep within to try find a reason to get the ps3 but a lot of people I know keep telling me how great of a fighting series it is (iv' e never played tekken and a little of vf) so thats probably whats intriguing me.

I remember Mr. Doree himself saying that he believed in a 360 version of Virtua Fighter 5. Got to mean something.

I would like to have all three but want things to look neat there' s enough wires everywhere you' ve gotta get those crinkly plastic tubes used to condense wires in office buildings. I use them, and now I have 2 inch & 1/2 wide tubes with cables for my 360, cube, and ps2, instead of seven or more cables criss-crossing and making an enormous cable forest under my desk. I remember Mr. Doree himself saying that he believed in a 360 version of Virtua Fighter 5. Got to mean something. I remember that too. I trust most of the people at Kikizo, so I expect to see a 360 version a little while after the ps3 launch. It' s a good game, but in the end, I wouldn' t buy a console for it. When you get right down to it, VF is just a really good series of fighting games, and not much else. It kinda gets old after a while.
