A lot of people seem to think the Wii could hit before October, because it is in production now. I’m not sure the former necessarily follows the latter, but it is interesting speculation.
I think they may be starting production early so they don’t have the shortages their competitors seem to have so often, but that’s just me.

We all know that Microsoft clearly copies Sony and has no ideas of its own. That’s why Sony is launching an online distribution service for PS3. It was totally their own idea. Gamasutra apparently had a chance to talk to Sony rep. John Hight about their upcoming E-Distribution service.
Anyways, I’m totally in favor of this. Live is a damn good model, and it’s good to see everyone hopping on the train. Sony is going one step further and developing a lot of the content for E-Distribution in house, so hopefully it will be some pretty solid stuff.
Of course, being a Sony rep, Mr. Hight has to throw some mudslinging into the conversation:
[quote]Most interestingly, when asked whether there is any concept of exclusivity, or can Xbox Live Arcade titles be ported to PS3 E-Distribution and vice versa, Hight comments pointedly: “We’re looking for fresh, new ideas that fully exploit the power of PlayStation 3. Our 1st party projects are all unique to PS3. Some of our games, by virtue of their design and hardware demands, simply couldn’t work on Xbox 360.”[/quote]
Suuuuuure…..

And I just thought I got an awesome deal when I bought this package for 25 bucks! Amazon has two Guncon 2s packed with Time Crisis 3 for 20 dollars. These guns also work with Time Crisis 2, Crisis Zone, Vampire Night, Ninja Assault, Resident Evil: Dead Aim, Endgame, and Dino Stalker. Also there’s a Japanese import with all the Point Blank games and Time Crisis on one disk out there.

NOTE: Guncon 2 does not work with PS1 Guncon games!
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse! Resident Evil: Extinction takes place in a post apocalyptic world overrun by zombies. Most of the action will apparently revolve around a Las Vegas that is gradually being reclaimed by the desert. And it will apparently star the previous two leading ladies of the Resident Evil movies and a new Claire Redfield.
All I can say is that I actually pretty much enjoyed the original Resident Evil movie and the second one was pretty much horrible. I’m not expecting much here, folks.

Itagaki is apparently drunk pretty much all of the time, and proud of it. He apparently gets his best ideas off whiskey, and thinks of Soju (a pretty strong Korean drink) as a starter. It definitely explains Extreme Beach Volleyball…
