I think you can make your own gaming desktop pretty easily, but laptops are harder. So maybe it's just that it's easiest to buy an Alienware laptop rather than try to put your own together.

Ugh, I have a fear of dropping/squashing/ruining my electronics, too. I'm forever worried about spilling liquids on my computer, for instance. Glad to hear that your PS3 was okay!

I bet less people are buying games new, and that's because of the economy and the fact that basically nobody has any money! Plus the Wii sales have tapered off a lot over the past year, as I think everybody who wanted one has now got one.

That's interesting! I know with some games, like with Wii Sports, it's better to be in shape than not. But I wouldn't have thought that Halo would benefit from fit gamers as well.

Being almost as powerful as a tablet would make sense, I suppose. I guess I just can't understand why the Vita is so much more expensive to everything else, even when you compare it even to the PS3. It seems like it should be really, super-duper powerful, you know?

The Star Wars games are really good, yeah. I like that you don't just play through the plot of the movie, like with so many other games based on movies/TV shows.

Yay, other people remember the Sega Genesis! And yeah, my mom bought me it when it was on its way out-- she actually had to put it on layaway and pay for it a bit at a time until it was all paid for.

I'm excited, too! I don't think I'll buy it right away, as I still need to play the other Zelda Wii games, but I'm planning on getting it sometime in 2012 at least.

This was my favorite gaming console when I was a kid! My favorite game was probably one of the Sonic ones, but there were so many good ones it makes choosing an absolute favorite really difficult. Any other Sega Genesis fans out there?

The posters do look really cool! I hope the graphics are actually as good as they look. Sometimes game companies put out amazing posters, but the actual game is slightly less than amazing.

Oh, I remember Little Big Planet! I haven't played it in a while, but it was a lot of fun. Isn't the sock puppet character an iconic game character now?

Does anyone know how powerful the Vita is when compared to, say, a computer? I remember reading somewhere that the PS3/XBox 360 were almost as powerful as a computer (or are as powerful as a computer?) and since the Vita is basically as expensive as a console/computer anyway, I assume it must be...

Haha, I'm actually getting a little tired of all the shooting/killing/etc. games I've been playing lately, which is partly why I wanted to know about Pixar's games! It'll be nice to play something less violent.
