On the Wii price argument, the gap in graphical/computing power between the 360/PS3 and the Wii is greater than the gap between the 360/PS3 and the PC. Likewise, the gap between the Wii and the 360/PS3 price wise (about $150 and $250 respectively), is less than the gap between a PC that will last for 3-4 years tolerably well (about $1100 and $1000 respectively assuming the cost of controllers, etc. is equal to the cost of additional peripheral and such added to the PC).
Of course the PC can do more than just play games, but you can get a low end PC that can do most of those things for $300-$500. To each his own when it comes to his gaming pleasure, but some of the arguments people have been using just don't hold water. I think we have argued about this enough.
So did you guys hear what Phil Harrison said at E3? Lair takes up 25 GIGS of space on a Blu-Ray disc. That is impressive in and of itself. I haven't been this psyched about a game in quite some time.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
