Next XBox probably going to be shown at this year's E3. I have the PS3 and Wii from last gen consoles... not sure if I'll switch to XBox or stick with PS3 for next gen.

Hundred Acre Wood HR Derby

Move the cursor to move Pooh around in the batter's box. Click to swing. Button on lower right of stage select screen leads to upgrade screen - points you get for hitting HRs are used here.

new rumor(s) that xbox (dont know about ps4) would require an internet connection and that it would block used games. i dont think this is confirmed but its the rumor and apparently gamestops shares went down today because of that.

PS4 is going to have 8 GB of GDDR5 RAM! That's an insane jump over the half a GB the PS3 had.

Sony just announced a machine with 8GB of GDDR5. No single GPU PC graphic card has that kind of RAM, in a closed development box no less. The projected PS4 specs are incredible and completely exceeded my expectations.

The late 90's and early 00's with every piece of software being released buggy as hell turned me off from pc gaming forever.

Viva la consoles. Excited about the hardware specs and the streaming capabilities announced for the PS4.

I'm guessing not too many of you guys have a 3DS or Wii U, but the Monster Hunter demo is up today so give it a try if you guys are able to!

I've been stoked about the new Sim City for quite some time, but it looks as though EA/Origin destroyed any chance of it being any good.

Always-on internet connection required (even in single player mode) + not enough servers + Farmville feel - space available for city building = SUCK
