Didn't get that Wii or PS3 preorder? Well, you might want to check out these websites as they have some "insider" information on where you may have the biggest chance of getting a Wii and a PS3.

I also realized that Stick & Stones didn't get transferred over to our new site. The TotalGamerZ server is still up, so until I can get it up and running you can access our old content here. I am still thinking of doing an "Expansion Set" so there may be some new ones in the near future.

It appears that UK gamers may be a little mad this Fall. Sony announced that the PS3 has been pushed back to March 2007, whereas the previous release date was November 17th 2006. So right now only Japan and the US are still dated for release this November (11/17/06 for you US gamers).

I also remember seeing somewhere else that Japan was only getting 100k units where the US is launching with 400k units. So you better get those preorders in or get your camping gear ready for those stores that don't take preorders. For those people with money to spend, I am sure EBay will have systems for a pretty penny.

Official Press Release Inside

Sony has finally unvieled the PS3. The Playstation 3 which is confirmed to be released sometime in 2006 will not be near as powerful as the Xbox360 but the specifications do look very promising. It will be backwards compatible with previous Playstation and Playstation 2 games. It will also use the new Blu-ray disc format. The console will also have built in wireless networking which will enable the PSP to act as a remote. I'm excited about it, but not near as much as the Xbox360.

Quote:
A number of media outlets are erroneously reporting that Sony can no longer sell its PSone and PS2 gaming consoles after losing a decision in their case against Immersion Corporation. Sony has been battling Immersion for some time now, as the two companies are disputing the technology behind Sony's DualShock vibration feedback system for controllers. Back in September of 2004, Sony lost to Immersion, and was ordered to pay $82 million in damages. Immersion would have also prevailed against Microsoft, but Microsoft wisely settled with them for about one-third that amount, and the other big players such as Nintendo have licensed the technology.

Looks like Microsoft & Nintendo played it safe. Sony should have done the same but, they tried to be cheap and stick it out. Now they are being forced into licensing the technology among paying the fines, not to mention all of the court fees. Ouch.

At first glance I thought it was a DV projector. Still kinda looks like one.
