I'm just ready for an E3 where Microsoft doesn't shove the Kinect down everyone's throat. Go ahead and talk about it here and there, but for fucks sake, throw in something for the core gamers out there.

I would absolutely love if Sony announced a price drop on the PS3 and maybe one (or several) that are themed and having a bigger HDD. 500gb maybe?

Im not buying a new ps3 with new ones a year away....i am sticking with this launch till death.

 

[SethMode]

As am I. What a novel concept! A console last me from the start of the generation to the end. It's basically this and Super Nintendo for me.

I should probably not turn on my PS3 now until the next one comes out.

 

[Twigg4075]

Mine has lasted fine. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't like a snazzier and quieter one with more storage.

 

[IamMedellin]

my 80 GBs is filling up....

But I really like my Georgie Grill PS3....its all glossy,blk, n sexy

OP updated.

Nintendo just confirmed: Tuesday, June 5 @ 9:00AM.

I'm gonna change this to the official E3 thread and stick it at the top.

So I read that Nintendo isn't going to reveal the price for the Wii U at E3. With it coming out this fall, my question is, wtf are they waiting for? Although it's not like I'm going to buy it anyways lol.

Definitely excited to hear more about some of the upcoming games, especially the new Tomb Raider.

 

[Twigg4075]

Nintendo not announcing the price just tells me that it's going to be more expensive than people are expecting. I think those "expert analysts" like Michael Pachter are predicting $250, which seems about right. My guess is that Nintendo is going to try to get away with $300 or maybe $400, because of the expensive ass tablet controller.

I would hope they learned from their lesson with the 3DS though.

I'm gonna go with 300 even. Going out on a limb here and guessing the new Xbox and Playstation will be 500-550

 

[Twigg4075]

I don't think the new 360 or PS3 will be over $400. Just my opinion.

I agree...if they are going to sell in this market they better be affordable otherwise dont come out with one. I am reading that the existing xbox might be moving towards the $99 price point soon.

 

[Swarley]

Agree with the $400 for the next Xbox the PlayStation. I think everyone learned a lesson with the release day price of the original PS3.

Yeah but that is only going to be a 4GB console and a Kinect and it will have some weird subscription thing. $15 a month for 2 years. I have no idea what the perks are for doing this, b/c that's $460 including the 2 year subscription and console.

It's not a perk. It's a way for MS to fool customers into thinking they are getting a great deal. Just more unscrupulous business tactics.

I don't even know why someone would buy one of those Xbox's without the hard drive anyways. Shit's almost worthless unless you only play a couple games a year.

 

[padman59]

On face value, anyone who gets a $99 Xbox 360/Kinect bundle is a fool IMO. Unless there are some damn good perks that haven't come out yet, you're better off just saving up and buying one outright.

 

[Swarley]

So back on topic, what games are you guys looking forward to seeing most at E3?
