New Wii due by 2011!!

[capncnut]

Does anyone else feel like this is too son for new console releases? Well yes, if what's being said is true and that there will be new consoles out in the next couple of years. Definitely. Some people have only just shelled out for said consoles so it will be them that's affected the most. We'll have to wait and see.

I got my 360 two years ago now, so Xmas 2011 is early enough to release a new Xbox in my view. They'd better build it like a brick shithouse though - AND have it fully backwards compatible with all my existing 360 games.

we are just getting older... The older you get the quicker time passes. your not wrong there,its frightening sometimes!il remember something that feels recent & realise it actually happened 4 years ago!buying my PS2 with red faction,GTA3 & medal of honour frontline doesnt seem that long ago,but it was 2001!

Il just stick the next kick arse processor & graphics card in my PC by then and pee from a great height on the consoles i used to love 'em but they just dont raise my interest anymore Does it make it more effective the higher you pee from? Now that's what I'm talkin' about! SEGA and Namco are doing the EAG Expo in London next year, I might have a bit of that as it happens. Don't know about the name though, SEGA Ringpiece or whatever it was called. I think that 's a ridiculous name just like i thought"wii" was. At the time i was like "there's no way nintendo is going to stick with that dumb ass name". Oh well, stick to what you know i guess.

Innit just. I often find myself thinking "geeeeeez, it's been [insert time frame] since..." - like, for instance, this summer it'll be FOUR YEARS since I graduated! Does it make it more effective the higher you pee from? It makes it colder when it strikes you.

It makes it colder when it strikes you. and of course revenge is a dish best served cold but yeah,its 11 years since i was taking my GCSE's now,shiiiiiiit!

It makes it colder when it strikes you. Now you just know a line like I wrote is MZ bait and that you would have a good comeback for it. !! I knew you wouldn't be able to resist answering that !!

Il just stick the next kick arse processor & graphics card in my PC by then and pee from a great height on the consoles i used to love 'em but they just dont raise my interest anymore I will stick with my consoles (which are driving the industry and the tech) and my 1080p 73" tv. Frankly the only thing consoles are missing out on are mods and custom maps which games like Far cry 2 prove meaningful custom content can be user generated on console... Frankly Far cry is just ahead of its time.

It's about time the Wii had HD support. I just hope it's early 2011 rather than late 2011!

I will stick with my consoles (which are driving the industry and the tech) and my 1080p 73" tv. Quite agree. PC cum-slurpers have more money than sense. I'd rather buy a console that plays ALL games (in one purchase) as opposed to upgrading my PC just to brag that some silly grenade effect looks better, when in reality, it's not that much better at all. I'm sure some games are better on PC but 'graffix' really dont 'bovver' me.

It's about time the Wii had HD support. I just hope it's early 2011 rather than late 2011! It's almost unfathomable how nintendo keeps allowing itself to fall behind in the tech dept. generation after generation. The same thing happened last gen. Nintendo had to practically be dragged kicking and screaming in order to enable the wii to have online support, this even after it was clear that it was the future. And now this. They always seem to make "improvements" based on the last gen. Yeah, hd support is great and all but sony and MS are already doing that. So by the time they catch up in 2011 MS and sony will have moved on to the next leap in technology and nintendo will again be left with an inferior machine and thus, an inferior gaming experience.

Yeah, hd support is great and all but sony and MS are already doing that. I don't mean to derail the thread, but speaking of HD for the 360...does anyone have their 360 hooked up through HDMI? Any ideas on where to get a 360 HDMI cord? The official cord from MS is over 50 dollars and only 3ft, I think. I'm not paying that much for a chord, but definitely want the HDMI....

When I worked in Zavvi (a high street music/movie/games retailer), we sold generic HDMI cables for £5. Shouldn't be hard to find one cheap in stores.
