Ok so I have just received 400 bucks and I want to spend on some game system. I have x-box,gamecube, playstation 2, and I was wondering should I get a psp or a ds cuz I technically don't own one I just take my friends one all the time. So which one is better to buy PSP or DS?

Okay I just read the newest issue of Nation and it talked about how spongebo is displaying homosexuality....if any of you have read it too you know what I am talking about. Anyway I want to know if any of you think that spongebob really is displaying homosexuality. I personally think it is a harmless nickilodean cartoon.

I was flipping through channels and I turned to my favorite channel MTV...then my dad walked by and said "god I don't know why so many kids like MTV whats so great about it...its just shows with young people who are willing to exploit themselves on tv" I disagree with him greatly but I really would like to know why young people like mtv so much because there are other "young adult shows" out there but MTV seems to be the most famous.

Well I was recntly cleaning my room when I found my old gorillaz cds I really liked them they brought back memories...but then I realized that they haven't had a new cd in a long time.....does anyone know what has happened to them?

-Gorillaz-Clint Eastwood
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless,but not for long
The future is coming on
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on

Yeah... Ha Ha!
Finally someone let me out of my cage
Now, time for me is nothing cos I'm counting no age
Now I couldn't be there
Now you shouldn't be scared
I'm good at repairs
And I'm under each snare
Intangible
Bet you didn't think so I command you to

Ok so I have read all the emails and the responses to my posts and I will fix all the "u's" instead of "you" and all the caps...but anyway I want to buy this game and I keep getting mixed reviews...some say bad and stupid while others say its awesome. Anyone who has played it can you tell me if it is good or not or give me links. thanx

Ok so after some reasearch: (Game informer, web) I have found some good info on X-BOX 2 and PS3. Although from my research it seems that x-box instead of telling us what the system is about they are showing the games nad the new graphics but these are just rumors so who knows. If u have anything more or better post it I am willling to read.

XBOX 2:
The Inquirer is running a story claiming the Xbox successor will use a standard DVD drive instead of next generation optical technology such as HD DVD or Blu-ray Disc. Last year, the HD DVD Promotion Group publicly announced its intention to convince Microsoft that HD DVD is the best next-generation optical disc format to power the Xbox successor. Since Sony is behind Blu-ray Disc technology, HD DVD seemed as the logical choice for the Xbox 2.

If, as rumors claim, Microsoft plans to release the next Xbox by the end of the year -- just in time for the holiday season, it could be possible that the software giant might have been forced to drop the new technology not just for cost issues but also because of release schedules. In December, NEC Corp. announced it completed the development of an optical head capable of playing back HD DVDs, DVDs, and CDs but these drives won’t be available before the fourth quarter of 2005.

Sony has officially confirmed that its next generation PlayStation will use the Blu-ray Disc ROM (BD-ROM) format and therefore everyone expects Microsoft to choose HD DVD for the next Xbox but now that The Inquirer has dropped the bomb, we should have to wait for an official announcement that confirms Microsoft choice.

PLAYSTATION 3:
Most of the Information currently available on PS3 is extremely limited; and as a result, much of the data out there is merely rumored or is just plain wrong. PS3 Land sets out to find what it believes to be the closest to the truth, by weighing up different trusted sources and past knowledge. Here PS3Land presents what it believes to be Sony's plans for the Playstation 3 console.


When will PS3 come out?
This is hard to answer at present - although we would estimate late 2005 / early 2006. This answer is based on the fact that PS2 is still in maturity, and there are a healthy amount of new games currently coming onto the market. As far as a 2004 release goes we don't feel Sony has the want or means to implement PS3 this year, unfortunately.

What features will it have?
This is currently mostly unknown. Rumours suggest that it will have a DVD burner and be able to record TV, but we believe Sony will leave that to the PSX - as this would drive the price up beyond the capacity of most gamers. We feel it is highly likely that PS3 will have a Hard Drive as Sony have made it clear that the future of gaming appears to be online, and this would provide memory for downloads, game saves, and improving loading times like in FFX. PS3Land believes that it is likely the PS3 will be upgradeable with add-ons, much like the PS2's network adaptor and Hard drive (only available in Japan). There has been strong evidence to suggest that there will be two versions of the PS3 available at launch – a total home entertainment and gaming system, and a ‘watered down’ version which will just play the games.
