Sony has announced the price for the PS3.
$499 for the 40 gig version and $599 for the 60 gig. The new controller looks just like a PS2 controller, for which I am grateful because that seems to be the only controller that's comfortable to use for my weak little hands. There's a few changes to the dualshock system but really, who cares?
Of course, I won't be buying one for a few years after it comes out, but hey. When the PS4 comes out, I'll probably be able to afford the PS3.

foryoursplendor, you've probably made a decision on this already, but imo Spirit Tracks is kinda boring. i'll admit to not being a DS lady but I AM way into Zelda and this one strikes me as rather worthless.
HOWEVER i am totally psyched for the new zelda that's under wraps. internet rumblings re: the cover art are that the Master Sword has been personified and is a character now, sort of a midna-esque daemon that requires your undying love and will annoy you until you give it.

*gasp*

ifjuly, also, in regards to amazing Wii games, I'd check out Super Mario Galaxy. it's been out for quite some time but is still awesome. it doesn't get terribly violent and it's basically a huge eye-popping gravity-defying puzzle game.


if anybody is out there still reading this thread: i just recently parted with my wii and am maybe thinking about picking up a web-based morg game. any recommendations? I played kingdom of loathing for a while in the early 'noughts, and attempted second life a few years ago but it was a bit much for me. Chatroulette has been my gap filler of late, and that can't be a lasting endeavor, i don't think....
