I have to say, the problem with Nintendo has always been the lack of "mature" games. That is why I strayed from Nintendo. There's only so much Mario Kart type cr@p one can take. But, I still hold Super Nintendo high on a pillar for the greatest platform game of all time: Super Metroid.



I don't care how many times I have beat it, I can always start over and play again. I am sad that games of this caliber are no longer being made. Maybe I am old school, but the 3D 1st Person versions of Metroid don't cut it for me.

Also, I have to say, Nintendo systems have ALWAYS been VERY stable.

PS - Anyone have an old Xbox they want to sell me cheap? I want one so I can mod it and install all the old school games on it!

I am also a bigger fan of HDDVD over BluRay, as I have followed the BluRay development, and I am skeptical abouy all of the delays and problems they have had with it.

And the price fo the PS3 is absurd. It retails for the equivelent of $450USD in Japan. Why the !@#$ is it more here? Sony can lick the boys on this one if you ask me. I am not a fan on Nintendo, but I would love to see them win the Christmas battle this year. Unlikley, but there are definately more Wii's out there than the overpriced Sony. It still stuns me how big the PS3 is too. You would think that as hot as that thing runs (ya, it could heat your house!) that it is only big because it has 6 fans and a liquid cooling system, hahaha.

I am still more than happy with the 360, especially since I modded mine recently. Cut a whole in the side of the case and added a plexi window and painted the case black, upgraded fans, replaced the venting with clear plastic, and added blue LED lighting. It lookss great on my ent center. Next step might me a liquid cooling system in it. The 360 is simply FUN when it comes to modding.
