I hope he doesn't hit one of those invisible walls that plagued the first God of War with his new Italian car.

Bought a launch 360, and it still works perfectly. I always thought the "Ring of Death" was the little blue ring animation that played while I am trying to connect to the Wii Online Network. You know, the one that eventually times out half the time and says that I don't have a connection to the internet (when I do). I connect all three of my systems using Wifi (360, PS3, and Wii). The Wii is the only one that is buggy. But, the good news is that there are no online multiplayer games for the Wii, and there are no game demos, or original gaming content on the Wii network either, so I guess not being able to connect isn't that big of a deal. Sorry, I'm just a bit bitter because the system that has the biggest potential for online gaming is the one that is the farthest behind.

Oh, and one more good thing about the device is that you always bring your phone with you, or at least I do. On the other hand, I almost never bring my DS with me, it is pretty much reserved for bathroom gaming :) due not only to it's larger size, but the fact that I don't want a million different portable devices in my pocket at one time. My phone is my number one priority, so it will always be in my pocket before anything else is.

One thing that could hurt the NGage is the strenght that Windows Mobile gaming is getting. With the new iPhone coming out, I anticipate Microsoft to push gaming even more on Windows Mobile.

I think Nokia has one huge advantage over the DS and PSP...it's a phone. If they would design the device properly for videogames (more traditional controls, and a wide-aspect, not narrow aspect screen ratio), then this device could be a hit. There is no reason Nokia shouldn't own the ONLINE portable gaming market. I mean, you don't even need Wifi access, it is a phone! Nintendo is the big player in the portable market, but if it has an Achilles heel, it is it's online play. Get the right developers on board, making the right games, on the right type of hardware and it could be a big success. Obviously for some reason that is harder that it sounds, because Nokia couldn't even come close to doing it last round. Another benefit of the system is since it is a phone, they should be able to subsidize the price of the unit when you purchase cell phone service.

Hmm, countdown to me buying a nVidia 8800... I don't know why I got somewhat excited over the trailer, but it just feels like it is time for me to dive into the fast-paced Unreal franchise again. It's been awhile since I put down 2004 (oh, and I had a little blurb with the Liandri conflict on Xbox), but now I am ready to dive back in. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well the new engine looked for GoW on the 360, so I am even more excited to see it on the PC with Unreal and it's adrenaline-like pace.

It appears to be from the screens a remake of the arcade version, not the NES classic. The arcade version have much better graphics.

Also, you have to remember there is a population of gamers that don't want to pay for games that they are already playing for free on their emulators. This graphical update gives those gamers a reason to buy this title. Whether nor not it is worth it is up to them.

The biggest suckers of the new video game generation.....us!!!

Funny how we are spending $60 for games due to higher development costs and increased game development times. It sure seems like they are shipping these sequels out the door as quick (if not quicker) than last generation. So this game will basically be an upgrade of the existing X360 GRAW game. What's the chances we see a price break on this title? Yep, thought so...

Hey I liked GRAW for 360 a lot, and to me $60 or $50...who cares. I just dislike how it seems developers are deceiving the gaming public with this high cost BS.

The picture confuses me. The first picture shows a clam-shell design where when folded, the big screen will be hidden on the inside. Yet, in the third picture, it shows the big screen on the outside. How is this possible? It appears to have a double-hinge design that doesn't allow you to swivel the screen like you can on a tablet pc. I'm confused.

You can buy the same device at your local sex shop for $300.

Actually he isn't that far off. It is close to the most expensive phone out there. Notice he says the words "subsidized" price. Someone made mention of a Black Jack phone for $499 (but thats the retail price, not the subsidized price. If you sign up with Cingular for two years, then you can get it for $199. That's $300 off. So under that assessment that signing a 2-year contract is worth about $300 off of your phone's price (which i would say is about right since I just saved $330 on my T-mobile Dash) you would say that the iPhone would RETAIL for about $800 without service agreement. I don't think they've mentioned the price or if it will even be available without the service contract. But if it is, I guarantee you it won't be $500.

I think it is funny how the interviewer asks "How will you compete?" Um, they are offering multiple smartphones for $99 (with contracts) with their latest OS on it. That's how :) I mean realistically, are they really competing yet? Apple is about to release their first phone. They will be marketing only at a premium pricepoint, and only on one cell phone service. Windows Mobile has been around for a while, and has phones with almost every carrier, and at every pricepoint. I'm not saying Windows Mobile is better, or vice-versa, but it will take Apple time to develop a more broad range of cell products until they can fully compete with Windows Mobile, obviously. This iPhone looks like it is going to sell very well, so the possibility of different phones in the future to brand the Apple logo looks very good.
