Holy... crap. E3 is awesome. If you're not aware, they are covering it on G4 all week.
The PS3, is ugly, but extremely powerful. Blows the Xbox 360 away.
The 360, decent looking, but not as powerful as the PS3.
The Revo, is still going to be made smaller. Think, a modem. Yep, a generic modem and you have a similar look and size of the Revolution. Pretty small.
The PS3 will support about 7 WIRELESS controllers((which are 100% uglier than the console)), and be able to connect wirelessly to the PSP. It also has video chat. Yes, you can see and talk to your friends, wirelessly. w00t w00t to that! You can even do it during gameplay. Wow.
The Xbox 360 doesn't have much new amazing things. Hardware updates, free Xbox Live!, I think I heard my friend say it had a watercooled heatsink.
The Revolution has the ability to download oldskool Nintendo games. Another words, NES, SNES, N64. And it can read GC disks, I think. So basically, buy this and you have boughten every Nintendo console in the past 20 years.
Well, that's all for now. Maybe I'll round up some pictures for you. Awesome stuff, E3 is.

LOL I guess there's not enough gamers here, too bad though since gaming topics usually do good.
I did see the specs for hte Xbox 360, pretty crazy compared to the normal xbox.
I guess your next new toy is the psp3 whenever it comes out.
(or would they call it psp2?)

They'd call it the PSP2. But no, my next new toy is the Xbox 360, which will be my least favorite of all my toys. My most favorite will be my PS3, then my Nintendo Revolution. My new toys will be awesome. And in years to come when they make the PSP2, I'll be getting that as well.
What can I say. Some call me a fan-boy. Yeah, a gaming fan-boy((another words, anything gaming)).

And it's not like there's nothing wrong with being obsessed with games. I'm obsessed with computers and networks, and with my new job, all the servers I see make me drull. I so want to get a server rack setup in my basement.
That won't happen until I have my own house though lol.

When I saw what the Revolution looked like, I was like..just...no, it looks so plain
. The new GBA though, that thing looks really funny.
Hmm...I shall not steal pictures and hotlink them this time, but I'll post the links to the pictures.

New GBA

Anywho, that new GBA...I'm not quite sure I'm glad I didn't buy an SP, could this one possibly be better?
The PS3 controllers, they look so much like....a Batarang (sp?) or something
.
Being able to download all the old Nintendo games would make the Revolution such a god ...well, for those of us that still love those old games
.

I HATE the new PS3 controllers. They ruined their perfect design.
The Revo, will be awesome. Not as awesome as the PS3, but pretty damn close.
The Xbox 360, I'm mainly only getting for a few games and right to compare it to other systems.
Do NOT get the GB Micro. Those pictures make it look bigger than it really is. It is smaller than an iPod Mini. Trust me, the SP is way better((considering how you can watch the screen easier, and it doesn't seem like a keychain)).
I finally realised why the Revo looked weird with that slant, it's because the base holds it that way. I probably won't use the base because it looks awkward. And personally, I think it looks the best.

That's an even worse controller.
And actually, the Dualshock 3 looks sort of like a PS2 controller with two dildos, while that one you posted actually looks exactly like a boomerang.

Wow that controller looks evil for ergonomics(sp?). Different, but I don't know if it will be effective, not for a controler anyway, maybe a melee weapon or something.

Get ready to be pissed, it doesn't have ports for the PS2 controllers because the PS3 controllers are wireless. You could go buy a USB mock PS2 controller and see if that will work. They have 6 USB ports on the PS3, imagine if you could use them all for controllers. That's up to 13 people playing. Now imagine this, I heard you could control the PS3 with the PSP. Does that mean you could use it as a controller? Ok, let's say 14 players. In one room. Crazy crap. Wouldn't like that, though. I HATE split screens.
Defence weapon? Or double sided dildo?
I bet I could name a few people who are happy about the new design, it's longer and might feel better than the old one.

omg if it has a vibration function then we male gamers may have problems
and ya i heard thay may be wireless but i dont think thay would completely kill the wire type cuz not everyone likes wireless ... infact i hate wireless cuz batteries cost money and thay add weight to the controller ... to top it off losing connection in game sux lol

And just when you thought 4 player split screen was small O.o
Actually Squirrel, there was one game that came with some sort of thing that vibrates for the PS2. The game was supposed to have something to music, and ...I don't know, weird lights. Like a media player visualisation.

I have another link about it, but...I don't think it would be appropriate with it's review

RAWFUL. Funny stuff. They have a trancey looking colorful shooting/music game that comes with a vibrating thing. For gamers with girls.
Yes, the controllers will be wireless. Just... Wireless. And they will use rechargable batteries. Trust me, no one will make you use old A batteries anymore. It SHOULD recharge through one of the six USB ports the PS3 has. I also heard you can use a USB controller and play like that. That solves your wire problem.

Actually I remember when I got my PS1, I did not know about the vibrate feature on the controler. Well one controller was a plain one, the one I was using had the vibration. So I was playing this racing game with my dad and every time I crashed I started laughing because I thought it was funny as it was so unexpected my dad thought I was nuts or something then I told him after to try it.
Thats when I had time for games....

Oh man, the Playstation. Wow, alot has changed since then. God, Sony knows what they are doing. And they've known what they were doing for 3 generations. And let me tell you, this third one, will be amazing.

Yep the PS1 is the most powerful console I own.
I don't even know where it is though... I just hope my mom did not get rid of it, same with the other consoles like the super nintendo and normal one. Great to have for future if ever I decide to plug it in and play an old nintendo game. It's the best to hear the sound of one of those.

Yeah, I don't have a TV but I can probably hook it up to my computer. I should.
The thing is, the pinnacle bungee has a delay to it so controlling mario would be like controling a space ship on the moon or something. lol
