"... if they have 1080 or even 720 output (because remember, 720p is 1280x720, which I would consider on the low end of definately playable. 1080p is 1920x1080, which is excellent resolution even for a computer setup).."

1366x720 is 720p

Running a display at 1920x1080 on a pc is not very common unless you have the greatest and most recent hardware.

I have a Standard def TV with a 4:3 aspect ratio. If the games are in wide screen 16:9 , I hope there is an option to change the aspect ratio or have the games available in wide screen and full screen formats. I don't want to see black bars at the top and bottom of the screen :

$249.99 is a bit higher than I expected. I think it should have been at most $229.99 --$100 more than the DS. Now it is only $50 less than the 'core' Xbox360. hmmm...

Tivo.

My guess is that the DS lite will be $129.99 US, and the Original DS will drop to $99.98 US so that Nintendo can clear out remaining inventory and make room for Wii.

I think the name change to "Wii" is a bloody bad decission. I may even feel a bit awkward to go into a store such as BestBuy and ask for a "Wii". Hey do you have any "Wii's in stock ?". It sounds plain retarted.

"9. bah! 4 and 6 are not completely true. nes and snes games are in bits not bytes. 1 bit = 0.125 bytes, or 4 bits = 1 byte."

8 bits = 1 byte

I use an Emachine, but I upgraded the Video and sound. A new power supply, fans, etc...

Thanks for the link.

A little choppy, they should stream it at a higher bit rate.
