"You forgot emulators and ROMS, for retro stuff anyways.. people paying 8 bucks to play SMW are getting ripped off."
This is one of the most ignorant posts I've ever read.
Pay less for your games by stealing them!

The 4805 is a nice projector, but it isn't HD (maxs out at 480p) so that's one reason people don't buy cheap projectors. I actually switched FROM an infocus sp5000 (720p) projector for a 720p 37'' LCD, because it's better for my room.
If you think the wii bar is gonna be a problem does that mean you have everything hooked up in the back of the room directly to the projector? yeeeeh. get a switch box and a set of looooong cables and put the wii in the front by the screen.

I think it's kind of funny that in all those pictures, there aren't any good ones. Can we get one big layout shot of everything that comes in the box?
Come on.

I think e-Distribution is unavoidable, but a horrible idea. I like to physically have all of the software I buy, and I have a feeling that when a console comes out that's ONLY e-distributed, without a significant price reduction in games (HAH!) there will be a huge backlash.

"the push by Microsoft to turn consoles into unupgradable PCs"
Do you really think this? Because nothing about MS' gameplan or what they've actually done indicates this. You would think that an "unupgradable PC" would at least include a keyboard, mouse, and web browser no?
The only non-game oriented thing the xbox has thrown at us is media extension, and that's an add-on for PC users, not a replacement.

Ok,
The XBOX 360 supports outputting 1080p through component and VGA.
That DOESN'T MEAN YOUR TV DOES.
Your TV may not (in fact, PROBABLY doesn't) accept 1080p through anything except HDMI. That isn't MS' problem.

teknotom, why would there be a Spanish mode on American consoles for that matter?

Those VC games are pretty pricey, and though I do own most of those I'll still be picking some up. Definitely Mario Bros., Zelda, Super Mario 64, Toejam & Earl and Bonk's Adventure at least.
Hell it's worth the price to not keep my NES, N64, Genesis and Turbo Grafx hooked up. That's a lot of space.
