What are you going to do to help you stay up for Microsoft tonight, power on and watch Sony and stay up again tomorrow for Nintendo (or select parts of that)?

I have lots of caffeinated beverages, cheap (too cheap) donuts and M&Ms.

Any techniques like blasting yourself in the eye with a torch - probably not effective - that help you stay awake and functioning the next day at work/school?

What are your plans to stay up for E3?

Everything looks awesome at E3, JoshX999.. The Wii did. The PSP did. They both are probably the worst solutions on the market, for different reasons.

Even if the features turn out to be absolutely amazing (tonight), there's no saying if the console will be good or not. We have to wait and see.

Also, to add to that. The 3DS looked alot more better and had an underwhelming launch and feels a bit stale at the moment. Last year at E3 I think everyone was hyping it up alot and the system's more lacking than perfect at the moment despite the giant 3rd party support Nintendo showed.

tl;dr, everything gets hyped up, doesn't necessarily mean it'll live up to it.

If Wikipedia is right about it having an R700 based GPU from ATI, its already using tech thats been replaced twice now and was released 3 years ago on PC.

Mind you if its so much as a 4850 in power, it will be better than the 360/PS3. They're using even older tech again. GPU's in them have been replaced 5 times now from memory, not counting refreshes.

I'm not going to be pleased if the new Nintendo console has anything less than a 5850/5870 performance wise because that means the PC will still be too far ahead and still be held back by the outdated crap they put in consoles. At least the 58xx cards are reasonably powerful [Facepalm]

4800 series wouldn't be so bad, Skarteh, considering how much they optimise the shit out of console GPUs compared to computers.

Sooo want to go next year. Time to suck up to admins so I can become staff and then get in because of this "trade-only" bs.

Anyone from MMGN go? Is it worth the $500?

Stayed up to watch the bf3 footage and still going strong, had a long nap while Microsoft was talking about their Kinect.

Its not a huuuuuuuuuuuuge amount better than the 7900GTX in... PS3? And they don't do anything remotely impressive with that.

You say that like the PS3 and 360 are in some way fast or current :P

Problem with the Wii was its controls and any games not made by Nintendo pretty much. It does produce graphics that look like they fell out of the business end of a cow, but I feel like the controls and casual focus let it down the most.

I've noticed what you are talking about Skarteh: Consoles holding back on the latest tech. Not that consoles have ever really been on the cutting edge in that respect, but when the Sony and MS camps claim to be the latest and greatest and the PC community gets swept under the rug in turn, its a damn shame.

Not to mention the amount of watered-down, buggy console ports coming to the PC because of this trend, it's just backwards. [Facepalm]

There hasn't been any love for the PC from E3 in a while now. :(

haha, you can't really put PC in the console war because it is far more powerful than the home consoles.

When I think of a PC, I think of it as my media hub, where my collection of media, documents and web browsing is at it's best.

It's just too much of a hassle (for me) to play games on a PC having it to be fairly above average in power, to be able to handle a game, not to mention all the upgrades, and worrying about other things slowing it down on my comp.

In that way, consoles are much easier as they have a set standard which is pretty much hassle free and you don't really need to upgrade.

Most people think PS3 and 360 are the latest things out so I see where bylim5 was coming from lol.

That being said, consoles these days try to be more and more like PC's, just with more user friendly interfaces that allow for maximum entertainment. :P

I think Microsoft said they'd put a greater focus on showing PC stuff at E3 last year, but eventually retracted that claim/statement.
