I'm a dedicated Nintedo fanboy. Although, I actually skiped the Gamecube and had an xbox, I kindof regret it, I got bored with the xbox in a couple months and gave it to my little brothers. I freaking love my Wii, but I freely admit, I've been jealous of some of the 360 features. Thankfully I'm rectifying that tomorrow as I can't resist the $100 price for the Arcade at Walmart (after $50 gift card inclusion). Though, honestly I'm not sure I'll really buy much games for it, I love the Netflix streaming and other media features. (funnily, I've actually been using a 360 controller for my PC for quite a while. It works fantastically for Portal and many other games.)

So, there were a lot of interesting announcements across the board. Kinect looks uninteresting to me... but maybe if they get some more interesting games for it. I hate Sony with a passion, so sorry I dont care at all about anything they do.

Most notably missing: NO ANNOUNCEMENTS ABOUT NEXT GEN. (aside from 3ds, but i'm talking about home consoles). This is dissapointing to me, as no current console is capable of 1080p120hz...

1080p 120 hz? Huh? 1080p is a game issue, not a console issue. 120 hz is a tv issue, not a console issue.

Both the 360 and PS3 support 1080p, it's whether the game developers make such.

Both the 360 and PS3 push out an HD signal. It's up to the TV to display the 120 hz.

The 360 and PS3 cant do 1080p 120hz as far as I've heard. Currently, the PS3 can only get 3d 1080p at 60hz (which is a headache inducing 30hz per eye)

You are probably thinking about 3d movies. 3d movies only require 1080p @ 48 hz to work (2x 24hz video feed)This seems to work fine for movies, but everyone says 60hz per eye is necessary for games (120hz total)

BD players don't output 120 hz. Neither do HD-DVDs. They all push 24 hz, just like your 360 and PS3. It's not a problem with the device pushing the picture, it's the device driving the picture.

For this whole 60 hz per eye, that's 3D. That's the point of those stupid glasses. Each lense is essentially a 1 pixel screen, which turns completely black or clear. It will display 60 hz for one eye, then turn it off for the other. It does this in time with the TV, to give you the 3D effect. Doesn't have crap to do with what is being outputted from the device. Only what is displaying it.
