pasmith commented on Stream PBS content to your Roku playerI've been really pleased with mine, and I don't think it's just me... I haven't seen a negative review of the Roku 3. It's possible I've just missed them but all the sites I read seemed to like it as well. Do keep in mind the Roku 3 only has HDMI out. Some of the other models offer more options in case you want to use component ports or something.

pasmith wrote Xbox 720 headed to Gamescom, new Wolfenstein to next gen consoles, but no Battlefield 4 for Wii U Yesterday we got word of another confirmed next gen title launching in Q4 of this year. Plus good and bad news for Wii U owners, and Sony gets even more indie-friendly.

pasmith commented on Analyst predicts dismal Wii U sales for March, but a system update is coming next week
But last month he predicted better sales than Nintendo actually had. I'm still waiting for the official NPD numbers, so I'm not saying you're wrong in general (he says some nutty things often enough). But if his methods worked last month, they could work this month too.
Nintendo held one of their Nintendo Direct events yesterday. For the most part it was focused on the 3DS, but we did get some news about the Wii U.3 weeks 52 min ago

A Sony exec offers hints around the PS4's launch price, and another completely anonymous (and perhaps completely fabricated) and crazy Xbox Durango rumor hits the web.

They could offer it, but it'd add to the cost of the console. The PS3 originally shipped with full PS2 backwards compatibility which is part of the reason it was so stupidly expensive when it launched. Since the architecture changed so much, they essentially built a box that has a PS3 AND a PS2 inside.
Xbox 720 rumor week continues, it seems. This one has nothing to legitimize it, really. But it's still interesting enough to share.3 weeks 5 days ago

Yup, so it's really more of a $149 convenience feature for current Xbox owners. That's assuming the combined new systems use just 1 HDMI port and a single controller. Of course even if you're low on HDMI ports on your tv, a switch box is a lot less than $149.

pasmith wrote Rumor: Xbox 720 has HDMI pass-thu, cable box integration features similar to Google TV A new leak talks about the next Xbox's media capabilities. Fair enough, but what surprises me is the positive reaction to stringing IR blasters across your entertainment center. Also, the new Kinect is going to be creepy.

As unlikely as it sounds (to me anyway) this rumor just won't die. Can Microsoft be crazy enough to ship a console that's required to be online in order to function?
