hd, next gen consoles, blu-ray and hd-dvd
well.. time to reflect back on some current 'next-gen' devices/formats... seems 'next-gen' is the thing to be.. hehe..
me, well i'm forgoing the supposed 'next-gen' consoles by Microsoft and Sony. to me, graphical prettiness does not equate to next-gen.. its just a video upgrade, the gameplay remains the same and the interface too.... so that is why i will be pre-ordering a Nintendo Wii....
Nintendo appears to be the only console maker that actually wants their system to be next-gen, in a true sense not a graphical upgrade sense.... and no, i am not a nintendo fanboy; hello, check out my PSP pages.. i am more of a Sony fanboy than any other... (got a Sony DSC-T9, K800i, PSP, W800i)...
hd.... i must say i already am in love with it.. sure, i only get 3 channels of HDTV Over-The-Air on my pc but nonetheless they are the football channels! hehe.. the only downfall now is that there does not seem to be any hope or sign that a HDTV CableCard ready Tuner will be released for PC's.. seems the cable companies are pushing their own PVR/DVR systems rather than allow us geeks to use our existing setups.. (by using a pc, i eliminate the need to purchase an HDTV but yet still get the resolution)

I find it interesting that you want to bump your tv viewing to a higher resolution but not your gaming!
Sure, the xbox360 and PS3 will likely not be huge advances in game play. It's just high-def gaming. But it's HD GAMING! WOo-hoO!
So you are excited about high-def TV but not high-def gaming?
Of course, I'll bet that you'll eventually buy (and hack) them all. It just seems to be your style. ;)
hehe.. the reason i'm psyched about the high-def tv and not gaming is that i can achieve true 1080p HDTV on my computer monitor (Dell 24" widescreen) via DVI but w/a console i would have to prob get one of those nasty expensive HDMI to DVI...
but as you said.. hehe.. i'll def end up w/both eventually... :)
