E3 2008! I Can Only Hope..

Well on Monday, E3 2008 begins with Microsoft's Press Conference. As I was watching Resident Evil Apocalypse I started think on what I would really like to see from the big three. So here is what I think all 3 companies should do to be the best they possibly can and how to put a damper on there rivals plans.



First up Microsoft Since there Press Conference is the first I feel I should start with them.

First: They need to announce a price drop! Everyone knows one is coming Sunday to the Premium version, but that isn't good enough. They need to lower the Price of the Elite to $400, keep the Premium at $349 but include a 60GB or 80GB hard drive, finally keep the Arcade at $279 but include a 20GB hard drive. They need to faze out hard drive less 360s.

Second: They need to re-design the Dashboard. Until you use the XMB you will never realize how clunky the blades are.

Third: Drop the price of Xbox Live to $30! With the PS3 really catching up in terms of performance and subscribers ( PSN=9million Xbox Live=12 million) they need to pull away. Plus stop nickle and diming the consumer. $2 for a theme or gamer pictures is ridicules especially since there is no preview!

Fourth: I cant express this enough GAMES! GAMES! AND MORE GAMES! Not this crap they pulled last year where they had like 5 exclusives all year and that's counting the Xbox and PC games (Bioshock and Masseffect). Plus with Bioware going to EA and Bioshock not being exclusive there hurting for games and the stuff Rare has been pumping out isn't going to cut it!

Fifth: FIX your damn HARDWARE!! Well that's all I have to say about that.

Sixth: Have Zune tie into Xbox Live and bring out the games. Plus announce the Zune will work with the videos you have downloaded on your Xbox

Final Thoughts: Don't introduce a motion controller! You guys brought out the camera and there is one game that uses it. So don't screw your self releasing a motion controller that will only be used in 2 games. Also don't copy shoddy features from competitors. Your supposed to be the leader and introduce new things everyone wants to copy.


Next Up the Big "N"
Well here is Nintendo a Company that sells a ass load of hardware each month, what more can you want? I think I have an idea..

First: Some FUCKING GAMES! They need to reveal what ever Retro is working on and bring out Animal Crossing. They need some new IPs! Mario Party 85 better not be shown or announced, if anything say your canceling it! Thats what I would want to hear. If there going to bring out some more old IPs they need to be Pikman and Luigies Mansion, two games that would work great with the Wii mote. Also wouldn't be surprised to see a new Wario Land game.

Second: A Price Drop to everything. There making Pure profit on the Wii and DS and its time to spread it with the consumers, bring the Wii to $200 and the DS to $100! They will FLY off of the shelves at such a crazy rate it wouldn't be funny. Also drop the price of first party games at least $10. I mean "New Super Mario Bros." has been $34 for 2 years! Come on guys its not Halo your just hurting your self.

Third: Pimp out the Online a bit. On the Wii atleast add a real friends list and voice chat. The Wii has built in bluetooth there isn't a reason they cant have you be able to hook up a headset.

Fourth: If the DS price drop doesn't happen bring out a new DS same price with some form of Multimedia features and maybe internal storage for downloadable games from the Wii. Also make it Aluminum so I can chuck it at someone and it will be ok. Plus to everyone that thinks there going to drop the GBA slot, its not going to happen.

Final Thoughts: Stop nickle and diming the consumer! 90 year old shit games shouldn't be $10. Plus the web browser for $5 isn't that good. For five bones I expect it to have up to date flash plug-ins.


At last Sony2008 is supposed to be the year of the Playstation 3 and so far it has. With Huge games and cool applications Sony has really stepped up there game. With firmware 2.4 out, Sony has addressed the Playstation 3's two weak points against the Xbox 360 ( Trophies and Cross game Messaging). Sony did a good job at bringing the Playstaion 3 back from an almost imminant death, but there still not perfect.

First: Sony needs to announce that all of there games are on track and there will not be many (any) more delays. Thus ending the Delaystation era.

Second: Update us on Home! Show us more of its features in better depth. Tell us Home is on track for fall release and there won't be another delay.

Third: I understand the PS3 has some RAM constrictions but bring in private chat during a game and make the In game XMB load faster or get rid of all of the icons! If I cant look at pictures in game why let me see them! The same goes for everything else get rid of the useless icons it would make it load faster and use less memory.

Fourth: Show us more Life with Playstation Stuff and possibly a release date hopefully soon!

Fifth: Add more PS3 to PSP functionality! This truly is Sony's secret weapon against everyone else! Let me stream DVDs or let me copy Videos, games, and pictures through remoteplay to my PSPs memorystick. Also let me use my PSP as a remote to controle Videos also if you could let us use our PSPs to view the XMB while were in a PS3 game.

Sixth: Announce PSP2! If not fix the current PSP announce firmware 5.0 thus pretty much skip 4.0, and add more functionality as in Divx and DLNA support, update the flash player in the web browser if the Mylo can do it so can PSP and at last tie PSP with the PSN let me see my friends and messages on my PSP.

Seventh: Announce that the video store is ready and will launch with TV shows and Movies that you can buy or rent and have a choice of SD or HD and allow us to veiw/copy them on PSP. Oh yea have it come out at the end of the month!

Eighth: If Microsoft and Nintendo do a price drop you have to follow suit. Plus it will really boost your sales!!

Final Thoughts: Don't bring a new controller unless it's the boomerang (I want something new) and stick to your promises!
