There is also an extremely popular punk group in Japan named B-Dash. They recently released a best-of compilation (to give some sense of the long progress of their career).
...but again, it's not you that they're targetting with the media center idea. It's the people that bought the PS2 and XBOX because it was a DVD player.
But I do agree, Nintendo's philosophy is the soundest of all three big consoles.
There are absolutely some very obvious omissions, and also quite a few undeserving mentions. I only hope for the day when Spielberg is exposed for being the most overrated director in film history. Outside of great adventure movies from the 80's like Goonies and Indiana Jones, I haven't been able to appreciate a single film of his.
Not only the HD but the lite version is missing... backwards compatability? This seems a little ridiculous unless they can launch at an extremely competitive price point (say, $150).
It's an interesting idea, and apparently Sony's planning to follow suit, but if they're only producing 20% of the base as Lite version, why bother?
Also, isn't the system around WebTV dead yet, what's wrong with just a basic browser and email system?
things just aren't going sony's way these days, what with the psp sucking and not selling plus the ps2 dual shock bit. oh, well.. everyone still loves nintendo and doesn't care about microsoft.
To answer your question, no you're not alone. I'm sure there's a couple people out there that don't learn from experience that Nintendo's not going to let this one disappoint in art direction.
You'll probably change your tune when you get your hands on the game. I'm no fanboy, but I've played enough Zeldas to know that the demo was really just to show the tech and build hubbub, the real shit's in the game.

So now I'll be able to finally put my cartridges in the toaster?
Well, with doing a franchise picture, you already have brand recognizability and several million guaranteed audience members.

Just make Escape Velocity a MMORPG. Combine it with Freelancer and make it massive and ongoing. It'd be perfect.

Does this mean that they're going to branch out past Star Wars-related games? Or are we going to see something of a Star Wars exclusivity on the PS3?

Man, from the headlines.. I can't tell the difference between NASA and Star Trek news anymore
Better arrogant than ignorant, though.
Has everyone missed that if the console is this small it probably won't have a large capacity hard drive?
Wow, just from that title it looks like Sony's getting lonely.

Return to form? He's yet to make a misstep yet, not sure what you're talking about. Also, see him live!
I was looking to make a similar comment but, nope, talks about the music.
I think it's probably a more direct connection between the stealth-kill, mission-based Tenchu with Splinter Cell than the story-driven actioner MGS.
athletic prowess Yeah, I hear the physics system on the beer gut is top notch.
massively-multiplayer version is filled with griefers. too many gold farmers..

...finds it delicious!
my name is taylor... i'd like to see a kid named engineer though.
Now SNK and Capcom can return to dominate the market. I bet those two had a hand in this with their secret society of fighting game developers.
I dunno, I'd probably play Cheers Online. I'd love to grind up my lvl-53 Washed Up Athlete.

Damn straight. I think the DARE program and all that other shit did too good a job putting the fear of God into kids.
