Todays post has nothing to do with NES collecting, and I am not planing more posts like this anytime soon, but it is fricken e3 so I will make an exception.
Unfornutaly I am not attending e3 this year, but some day maybe. For now I am just an outside observer like most people. The online coverage has been great. I was able to watch the Nintendo Confrence via a live stream and I was able to dowload the other two via bittorrent.
Nintendo
Nintendo has me fired up. When I see the videos of people playing, I get a warm and fuzzy felling inside because it looks like so much fun. I can't wait to get my hands on one. I was hoping Nintendo would release the price, but no. I am loving the return of the zapper, Duck Hunt 2? I am sick of waiting for the new Zelda, so it better be amazing.
Microsoft
The only thing I wanted to see was Halo 3, and it looks like it will be out some time in 2007, too bad. I was suprised to see that the next GTA will launch for Xbox 360 and PS3 at the same time. Fable 2... need I say more? I am intested in their plans to make Live availible everywhere, but I don't use Live that often.
Sony
The games look good and I am glad they went back to the dual shock style controller, but the price is way too high for me. I won't be getting one this fall at $659.99 (Canadian price for the full featured version). 8 days was a game that look interesting and so did John Woo's Stranglehold.

Spring Cleaning
Wednesday, May 03, 2006 - by Cameron |
Space is now becoming an issue for me. It is not just a problem with my NES collection either. I also have a decent sized libary of current gen games. I have over 100 games for my Xbox, PS2, PSP, and GameCube, and I have a DVD collection that is full of large TV box sets. Then there is my almost 200 issues of Nintendo Power and a large stack of strategy guides. I have also got my hands on a few cardboard displays that I love but are a huge pain.
I have resorted to using my Computer desk as a home for my TV, Gaming systems, school books, and I store my NES collection along with my larger gaming accessories (Silent Scope rifle, Sterring wheel, and Steel Battalion controller) under the desk. I still have find room for my PC and dual 20 inch LCDs. I haven't even started on the random junk that calls my desk home.
It is time to do some spring cleaning. My goal is to get the TV and systems there own home, and perhaps get a book shelf. I will bring you new of my progress, I just hope it is good news.
