That makes the female kind emotionally five in comparison
Always they are playing with their dolls. One way or the other.

It is a pity, really. If I ever want to read another people input about my personal choice -Wii- it seems that I am harming people… of course I see no harm in that, and while I totally respect another people choices -you are not going to find any post under my name blaming PS3 or/and 360 even when I don't like SONY that much and totally dislike MS- I would really like they don't call me names because I still love Nintendo even when I am older than 15.

I don' think too many people think the ps3 is a bad deal per say. It's that the price is way too high for what the market will bear. With the 360, you have the option of not buying options you don't need, or buying them over time.
Personally I think the 360 is too expensive as well, which is why I'll probably only buy a Wii in the next 2-3 years.

The PS2 is not a bad deal, it's a bad idea. Blue-Ray isn't ready for the typical consumer, who is completely unwilling at this point to give up that DVD collection so soon after DVDs became mainstream themselves. Plus, the Blue-Ray drive is supposedly the biggest reason that the PS3 is so expensive.

The comparison is also a bit unfair, considering that most XBox 360 buyers aren't even thinking about the HD-DVD drive at this point. Also, not everyone cares about having a wireless controller (I certainly don't). You can have basic online play for free without getting the Gold subscription. It is nice that the PS3 has built-in wireless networking and the Blue-Ray player (I guess), but it's very nice that Microsoft gave options to people that didn't want to pay $600 for a machine.
I"ll maintain that it's absolutely silly for Sony to think that people are going to line up in droves for this. Certainly it will sell, but not anything close to the XBox 360, which will likely drop in price a bit while the PS3 still maintains a $600 tag.
*Raises glass*
To Wii!
(that sounded weird)

Most people don't need hi-def video players. Sony is forcing everyone to have one and M$ is giving people the option. Same goes for the wireless capabilities. You also don't need a play and charge kit. I already have a ton of rechargeable batteries and I just use those.

Rechargable AA batteries are definately the cheapest route to take...i thought about it the other day if its a rechargable replacable Li-on battery,it'll probably cost $20 or something every 6-12 months (depending on use). With rechargable AAs...thats like the cheapest route....so im not too fussed about investing in em for the Wii.

November 19th is also very late. Isn't that after the PS3???
Oh yeah, and arcade titles are to be $5 to $10! Way too much!
I'm also hearing word that Zelda is delayed, but don't hold me to that.
