Okay, my quick-hit reaction: glad there's only one version, happy for the included hard drive, and kudos on the semi-free Xbox Live Silver. Boo-urns to paying for a WiFi adapter and battery controllers. All this news today has basically focused on the hardware, which is fine, but as they always say, it's all about the games, and that's what E3 will be for. There was a rumor floating around form respectable organizations that some devs immediately switched from Xbox 360 to PS3 after seeing Sony's hardware in action. Will the huge amount of hardware features win out over pure technological prowess?

    Your first order of business is to read this if you haven't yet. Many sites have updated with their large overviews of the console. Here they are: Game Informer, TeamXbox, GameSpot, and IGN. Quite a bit of reading, so enjoy! Also, this video surfaced today with overly-excited Xbox 360 engineers discussing the hardware. Trust me, this six minute clip is twenty times more informative than the MTV show.

  • PS3 This Year?

    [ps2]
    It's a possibility according to Sony's chief financial officer Takao Yuhara. Speaking to a Japanese news service, he said, "For the year end sales season, simultaneously building up both the PlayStation Portable system in America and Europe as well as the next generation PlayStation is one option that we have." A plausible scenario or some early smoke-blowing prior to the announcement of the Xbox 360?

    [ps2]
    Capcom revealed their newest game, Devil Kings, for the PS2.

    A boatload of screenshots for Dead or Alive 4 have surfaced and it has been supposedly confirmed that it will be an Xbox 360 game. The game shows plenty of returning characters and some new ones, but Tecmo has said these are unofficial shots. An official announcement at E3 is expected.
