Personally, I'm still going with Nintendo and Sony on the next gen (I don't like the idea of paying for online so until that changes, Microsoft won't get a cent from me).

To those complaining about the Project Cafe being a waste of time: Think about something, the Wii has been hacked to nearly PSP-hacks level. It was only limited by hardware, such as trouble emulating MAME, although the PSP, with its inferior specs was able to perfectly emulate CPS1, CPS2 and Neo Geo separately.

With these new superior specs, this new console might reach what the PS3 scene couldn't or hasn't, and maybe without even losing the online, as Nintendo only banned cheaters previously on Wii and DS. I'm not saying it will be instantly hacked, but let's be patient. I know I'm getting one and probably won't update its FW until a hack is announced

So, if Nintendo's next console gets hacked again, it might have a good scene development, hell, there was a Wii-linux already working, but again, limited by its hardware.

I don't mean to start a flame war, so I just say, whoever who didn't like Wii and feel this will be a waste, just don't buy it. But don't come back trolling when it starts to develop its scene.

About the other consoles... pretty much I'm getting the NGP and leave it for hacks, unless its games and online are worth it, then I might get two (possibly a Slim model, if it has a specs enhancement like the PSP 2000 over the original).

HD-DVD was an inferior product to Blu-Ray and we should all be glad that it ended as soon as it did. What a stupid comment to make. The only people that suffer during a technology showdown are the consumers. Microsoft didn't want to rely on a technology that possibly wouldn't be there in the next few years and guess what, they were right. Sony had a vested interest in Blu-Ray so it was a no-brainer for them to put it in the PS3. Toshiba obviously missed the boat on that one.

I don't think Microsoft will be saying anything on there next console release. They have said they want to make the Xbox 360 have a long shelf life unlike the original Xbox they stopped supporting to early. The only downfall the Xbox 360 has that will keep it from lasting is the use of DVD media for games. I don't understand why they still couldn't sell the USB HD DVD drive for say $19.99, start rolling out new boxes with the HD drive built in then start releasing games on the HD DVD. As for Nintendo I can't wait to see what they got, they said they will be going big on hardware finally they step up in that department. That is a big reason I hated the Wii not enough power to deliver a stunning gaming or even HD movie experience, that and the fact there was not many good games to speak of. Both the Xbox and PS3 have better titles and offer better graphics.

Nothing about the new "unhackable" PS3? Oh well, we stay with the hackable PS3's then

Nintendo - 1. If you include something, don't take it away. 2. Plug&play for any HDD format. 3. Plug&play for every video container out there. Don't lock up the media capabilities. Give people what they want from a powerful console. Give me a reason not to buy a NMT or Rokio or Boxee. 4. Open it up for legal homebrew. Stick to next gen games for your profits and let us install our own emulators for legacy games. Don't try squeezing blood from a stone. 5. Don't try and control your customers from their living room. 6. No remote updates unless you are adding functionality. Follow those 6 suggestions and I promise I will not even google "USB loader." They should be your holy grail. :P

Dude you are asking for the impossible but i too hope for all this as well though.

Its more of a stupid comment/section on the front page when you realise HD-DVD came out after the 360..

When you call someone's comments stupid, you insult them, i don't know what idiocy prevails your brain, but HD-DVD was in no way inferior, it had a few GB's less space, but it was on par with Blu Ray and was cheaper.
Only a no brainer would fail to see the significance of using a medium like HD-DVD on the 360

What i failed to mention on the front page, is that i also thought the 360 was rushed, if they had waited until the release of HD-DVD and made a lot of hardware checks, we could have had games coming on only one disc and we may have had less RROD's, also the people that bought the external HD-DVD add on for the 360 wouldn't have wasted money.

lol people can be so pedantic at times on this forum...
