They say that if you don't talk to your kids about drugs someone else will. What you may not know is the exact same thing holds true for video game consoles. For example, Microsoft still hasn't announced that they'll be phasing out the Core 360 to replace it with its sleek, cooler cousin, the 360 Arcade. Meaning we have to get our info ... from strangers. Exhibit X (or is it Y yet?) is this retail stand-up captured by Gamespot, that makes mention of (shock!) the 360 Arcade! All the features are the same as the ones you've heard rumored: five free games, 256MB memory card, a wireless controller, etc. What there's no mention of is the system's price. But, since the other details have held up, we'd bet the $280 we've heard before is spot on. Now, Microsoft, would you kindly announce this thing instead of forcing us to learn about the Arcade on the street?

As bad as some of the crap Sony has pulled Microshaft has pulled some big dumb dumb moves themselves. Not telling anyone till product hits is STUPID.
On the other hand, this Core is much more attractive than the old core. No doubt.

Honestly... doy you think that Ratchet will be a better than Mario Galaxy? Of course fucking not.

Nothing can compare to the imagination of Shigeru... this is the work of professionals... people with talent. Look what they can create with an "inferior" machine. Just imagine what Nintendo will do if they do a game for the PS3. Thats why Nintendo always sell better than third partys... 'cause they are the best. Period.
I'll getting both Ratchet and Mario. hehehehe...the benefits of being a PSWii owner. Even though I think by Christmas, I'll break down and get my free 360 Elite.
You cannot say the Ratchet series is not good...some of those on the PS2 have been amazingly fun games.
very soon, both the wii and the ps3 are going to have very, very good quality games. it's just that the ps3 is going to have games in HD, and decent online capabilities. mario and brawl will probably be awesome, but the uncharted and the orange box will be better adventure and multiplayer games, respectively.

well... it's nice to, you know, HAVE a choice sometimes.
If you've got nasty jaggies on your HD display from your Wii, its because you're TV's internal scaler sucks donkey balls. This will fix the problem.
kinda shady, but it's good business
