This fall we saw the release of the mighty Sony PS3 (it's so big in size that it makes the original X-Box look compact) and surprisingly 80% - 90% of them all went up on ebay. I'm not surprised as there are not any games titles that scream "you must own me". And of the one good game released, Resistance: Fall of Man, it was shocking to learn that it only displays in 720p (in order to keep framerate smooth) and not the 1080p that Sony pushed in everyones face against the MS X-Box 360.
Also released was the Microsoft X-Box 360 HD-DVD drive and surprisingly next to the more popular Blu-Ray the same movie on HD-DVD in 1080p looks like true High Definition that we are expecting. The same can not be said of the Blu-Ray movies as they are grainy and pixelated when shown in 1080p.
The Nintendo Wii soon followed the release of the Sony PS3, two days later, and NintenTards as they are called, flocked to swoop up the promised by Nintendo plenty of available Wii's at N.A. launch. But surprisingly less than promissed was to be found at retail locations. While many retail stores had silent raffles a day before in order to avoid the Wal-Mart craze of last year. The few fortunate ones that did receive their Wii's seemed much less excited and pleased once they finally had a chance to take their Wii for a spin. Many excuses keep flowing from the Nintendo-faithful spouting for their beloved $250.00 Gamecube with Wii-Tard controller.

You need to relax dude. Nothing is worth getting that worked up about. Look how much you wrote only to call some fanboys "wii-tards".
