I agree with UD. The actual cost of this piece of hardware is well above what they're selling it for, and for that, it's pretty commendable. PPl are just not ready for that kind of commitment yet until there's a more solid library out. But even with the 360 when it had a so so starting line up, it did pretty well when it came out. But there was always some systems sitting there after the initial launch.

Ditto, I don't think I'm gonna wait around for these studios to convert to HD anytime soon and I'm dying to get some HiDef flicks already so the PS3 will be the choice player.

The store is 2 miles from Microsoft and Nintendo.. so maybe it is just Bellevue, Wa where they are a plenty... The Best Buy had a pallet full of PS3 60 gig units... and not a one was missing... In Japan retail stores are offering 20 percent discounts on the 20 Gig unit trying to move them...

And your right.. Sony does not care right now... but wait until the stores restock once they sell.. they wont be ordering as many as before because they just sit there... But the situation from my perspective... does not look good for Sony right now...

They can discount because they receive discounts as well sometimes don't they? They'll still be selling them for what they paid for and end up even in the end. But yeah my buddy is up in Seattle and it's pretty heavy Nintendo country as well as Xbox now.

I'm happy with the 360....just picked up the wii Sunday morning and happy with that too, its surprisingly fun and different.....just wish they had a bigger selection of new games worthy of play.

You should definitely pick up WarioWare Smooth Moves. And check out Elebits and Trauma Center. There's many fun games out. And more coming out within the coming months.

I for one would rather use a controller and be able to SIT and play games. If I wanted to go and actually play baseball, I would go outside and do so.

Baseball on wii is more fun than going out and playing baseball by yourself

I agree. I don't like the concept at all. I play video games to relax not to get a flipp'n workout.

See that's the problem with ppl. They only see WiiSports with ppl standing and they get all lazy about it. Thinking that's all the Wii is about. I don't think I know of any other game other then WiiSports that has you standing. Other then bowling itself, I've played WiiSports sitting on my chair or laying on my couch.
Zelda and many others do not require you to stand. Ppl need to get that out of their heads first.
Still the really fun games do have you doing crazy stuff, but that is of course if you want to have fun
