It's coming on the 19th! As for me, I can't wait. I think it'll be sweet, especially how it's only going to be $250! ) I don't think I'll get one on release day though, because I want to wait for much of the hype to go down and need to save up some money lol. I'll probably sell my PS2, it's just with Guitar Hero II coming out and all I don't know if I want to sell it. Plus, I have so many games for it, I'd end up selling it and like 12 games, 4 of which have a peripheral with them, to buy 1 Wii and like 2-3 games, but I guess all of those will have peripherals. Anyways, what do you guys think? What are your plans?

I'm going to wait till Microsoft adds more things into the premium edition & lower the price. I might get the Wii.

I'm going to wait till I see reviews on all three systems.

I might get one when the price drops down to $99 (which shouldn't be too long after the release date ;))

I just got my pre-sale for the Wii and I will be selling it if anyone is interested. I was going for the PS3 but I got there a lil too late.

I would assume Sony would continue the backwards compatibility.

[quote4a0828029a]Sony has stated that the PlayStation 3 will have backward compatibility with the PlayStation and PlayStation 2, and that every PS1 and PS2 game that observes its respective system's TRC (Technical Requirements Checklist) will be playable on PS3 at launch.[1]SCE president Ken Kutaragi asked developers to adhere to the TRC to facilitate compatibility with future PlayStations, stating that the company was having some difficulty getting backward compatibility with games that had not followed the TRCs. "Either it's accidental or on purpose; there's actually a lot of games that don't follow the TRC."[26]. It has been reported that initial PS3 units will include the CPU/rasterizer combination chip used in slim PS2 (EE+GS) to achieve backward compatibility.[27]

The PlayStation 3 does not include interfaces for legacy PlayStation devices, but there will be an adapter for the memory cards[6] so users can save their PS1/PS2 data[28] on to a virtual memory card in the hard drive. USB devices for PlayStation 2 may be compatible with PlayStation 3. PlayStation 3 can use Memory Sticks to store save data for PlayStation and PlayStation 2 software.[29]

Playstation 1 and 2 software will still be limited by region-locking.[/quote4a0828029a]

My brother has the Wii taken care of. I'll just mess with his and if I really want it I'll just do a free site for it. P
