Great news about the arm.

I rented Phantom Hourglass, but got annoyed at having to return to that dungeon so often. Spirit Tracks toned it down, and I really like Spirit Tracks until it gets to the spot where I was in the blog I made about it a couple days ago. Stylus controls are one thing when you're just Link; I honestly thought they were fine. Adding in another character to control with them however, while inventive, can get pretty frustrating.

I get that, but that's why I'm not thrilled that it's required. And yeah, E3 will have more info, hopefully.

I think my plan is to buy a PS3, then get a bunch of cheap games for it once these new systems launch.

I don't understand The Price is Right references. Because it focused on TV so heavily? Or did Bob Barker's pets need to be connected to the internet every twenty-four hours if they wanted to mate? Both sound plausible to me.

I considered just getting another memory card in fact, it's just been so long since I played it, I didn't realize what had been erased.It didn't erase my Story mode progress this time so I'm fine with that. I could care less about my "garage," honestly.

And I definitely believe you, this game is ridiculous in terms of difficulty. I'm quite impressed you did all that. I'll just be happy if I beat story mode.

I thought Infinity was the best name they had for it. XBOX One is going to consfuse so many parents and grandparents, just like Wii U probably has ... and Infinity would have gotten across the message of it being upgradeable over time they apparently tried to send, so I really don't understand the name.

I don't know about more powerful. IGN just posted a side-by-side PS4 vs Microsoft comparison with very similar hardware capabilities from what I saw, although a lot of key things were TBA or "Maybe" on either side. Those TBA/Maybe things are where Sony can lose ground or outright beat XBOX One in terms of consumer friendliness.

By the way, thanks for sharing the link, I referenced you and it in my blog.

Phantom Hourglass I rented and got annoyed by constantly having to go back to a central hub castle. It was cool, though.

I say rent either of them to give yourself a good idea.

I'm just hoping more actual details come out at E3. Every detail I've heard about XBOX One sounds unappealing to me, but I want to know what these eight IPs are, and want to see actual games on these systems in action.

I think Nicelob is right, they are probably testing the waters with the one-year partnership you mentioned, especially if the numbers they're seeing bear out what you're saying about Sonic and his sales figures. Meaning they are thinking along the same lines you are, but they want to make sure.

I don't really understand the Ouya, saw an unboxing of it on IGN and it just looked like an emulator in a box. I may or may not skip this generation like the last one, but I'm really still leaning towards a PS3, cause it'll be cheap and have tons of games for it by the time these sytems come out. Especially if I get a first-generation one with Backwards Compatibility.
