You're right about it being the most expensive. The PS3 is overpowered, I really doubt that it will ever reach its full potential before the next generation of consoles. I also doubt that there are any major hardware updates coming to any of the current gen consoles, at least nothing that would change prices.

Microsoft doesn't need an update: the 360 is a solid piece of hardware, the RRoD issues are (for the most part) in the past, and their software updates have kept demands in check, and looks like Microsoft has their entry in for good in the long run. I suppose if anything, Microsoft might release an updated 360 with a built in wireless adapter, however I doubt that will happen until next gen either.

Beyond that, everyone knows the Wii is underpowered. Even Nintendo has pretty much acknowledged that the Wii is a system lacking in power, but everyone also knows that they won't release an update either. Here, the conflict is between the PS3 and the Xbox 360, the two consoles that hold the attention of the hard-core gaming market, the market that *cares* about power. The Wii frankly doesn't *need* an upgrade, because it would be released and wasted on people that, for the most part, wouldn't even notice. The Wii's target audience is an audience who isn't affected by these power issues, and look for the cheapest console.

All in all, as far as prices go, I think that things will stand the way they are: PS3 will remain the most expensive, the 360 will stay in the middle, and the Wii will stay at the lowest price point. If anything, all three systems will slowly take cuts of the next X years, but I don't think the PS3 is ever going to become cheaper than Microsoft's offering. It seems to me that Sony put out a powerhouse that, unfortunately, probably won't ever realize its full potential, but does offer something the 360 doesn't with it's HD DVD Format player in the Blue Ray drive.

I think things are right where they should be. All three companies have created excellent pieces of hardware, all of which have their strengths, and if anything drastic happens with prices/hardware, I highly doubt it will be this generation.

I agree, JCerna, the no government should not be allowed to make bombs, all of them should (and ARE allowed to). Seriously? If the government isn't allowed to build weapons to defend our country then we look like a bunch of idealistic pansies and all the other countries with nukes will take us over.

*Facepalm* that's a Fallout screen, I certainly hope you know that. If so, your attempt at sarcasm was a horrible failure.

I see what you did there!

Yes, "apparantly" so, my friend

I see what you did there! The internets, you win them!

Just messin' guys, Sonic is awesome

@TGGGD86

Thank you, sir. Well put.

The F-22 is an air-superiority fighter that the US uses to gain an advantage over the air forces of other countries, and, while it is expensive, it is also extremely advanced and superior to the F-35 in numerous ways. The F-22 Raptor is an aircraft all about being better, faster, more maneuverable, and harder-hitting than other aircraft, giving US pilots the upper hand in airborne conflicts. All in all, the F-22 is one of the most advanced weapons in the US arsenal, and an essential part of the same. The F-35 program is an important one, but the F-22 will remain a huge part of The United States' air fleet for years to come, and we can only speculate now on whether the US would have done better to continue production of the aircraft.

Damn, I was getting all excited that Eagles (not *the* Eagles) were announcing another North American tour. I saw them on the current one, but it was the best show I've been to see, and I'd love if they came back around. That said, what does the "Joe Walsh Approved" part of the title have anything to do with the article? I suppose this is interesting, an OLED poster with a lifespan of 20,000 hours, but I'd like to see these in a more conventional setting, not used simply for posters.

I'm agreed with this statement. There are too many

*stifles laugh* hehe...tata's
