remember Reggie quoting after Halo 3 that MS had "fired their bullet and Nintendo was still standing" and "Nintendo has to still fire theirs"...

Perhaps we're about to see Nintendo's bullet!!

Yea and Sony and Microsoft are going to take it like a silver bullet : )

 

(in case any of you don't know, a silver bullet is a dildo sized ass therometer)

We've got a big snow storm happening across the Niagra and GTA regions in Ontario tonight. What are the weather conditions like in your areas?



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

Wow, this is amazing news. go Wii!

And I expect big boosts in Wii software too, SMG will be back on top below the pack in games. Wii Sports, Wii Play, Mario Party 8, and maybe one or two more titles will rise above 100k for the week.



      

   

 

The Wii must flow!

Well there's more to the story as always. If i were, say , get my ultimate gaming pc the price would go up to 2000 pounds. The 300 version would consist of:

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DQ6 motherboard
Core 2 Duo E6850 BOX CPU
Kingston DDR2 4GB Ram 800mhz
GIGABYTE GeForce 8800GTX 768MB gfx card
SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer audio card
plus the usual CD/DVD RW and HDD 300GB, so not that big a deal if you ask me.

The 2000 pound version is where the funny things strat to happen ;).

wel i don't know what all those things do, but the inclusion of a seperate gfx card and an actual gamer audio card, and 300GB HDD would mark the prce up way over £300.

I'm not talking gaming PC price... just a PC... it would proably have 1Ghz processor, 512mb of Ram... gfx would be integrated, and HDD would be 80G/120G.... that's what you get for £300... and would probably only just run GTA:San Andreas.... Crysis seems to be touted as needing a good gaming PC to run,... there is no way £300 would get you a PC to run Crysis.

In fact no PC at £300 here would be considered "gaming" PC, looking through a catalogue (Argos) the ones touted as gaming PCs are generally at least £700-800 (and i would bet Crysis would either be on it's lowest possible settings, or not work on these)

Well, obviously i don't live in the UK, but in a country where the exchange rate for pound vs zloty is close to 1:5,12. Add to that that i have to ability to get my parts straight from the production facilities for sometimes half the price.
