I mean shouldn`t game consoles be about a games in first place, I mean why Sony is talking about multimedia may be they should call it Multimedia Station. If Kutaragi continue to talk like this, he`d better be careful cuz I have a feeling MS3 I mean PS3 will get a kick. Man even the game consoles they make`em complicated. At least IMO Nintendo`s position now like SNK`s Neo Geo cart system for certain fans or should I say hardcores. I`m just waiting for Sega to show weapon assault systems (games) like Outrun-2 for Xbox, man this game made me smile when I saw it, this was the real game.

Next-gen leaders talk about their consoles [It isn't a bad thing to have a high price. When we released the original PlayStation at 39,800 yen ($368), Nintendo's Super Famicom was in the 10,000 yen range ($100 range). Still, everyone went for the PlayStation. This time, ours [the PS3] will be like a BMW that's equipped with a Ferrari engine. Nintendo's [Revolution] will be something like a new model of a family car. Some people might want it, but if it was me, I'd want to advance to the next level. ] Ken Kutaragi. http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/05/31/news_6126725.html

From Guntoa : Zeta movie 1 hits it big Various box office sites in Japan (Eiga.com, Kogyo Tsushinsha, Goo Movies) are stating that Heirs To The Stars ranked #3 this weekend. This kind of ranking is respectable enough for an anime theatrical release in Japan but what makes the case of Zeta truly exceptional is that it managed to do it showing on only 83 screens nationwide. Typically, Japanese films will screen in anywhere from 150-300 theaters. In the case of big Hollywood films, 500+ theaters. Zeta raked in just under 161 million yen, nearly as much money as the #2 film, Million Dollar Baby, which had the benefits of publicity from its success at this year's Oscars, local visits from its stars promoting the movie, and being shown in 264 theaters. Eiga.com estimates that it has the momentum to exceed 1 billion yen by the end of its run, a figure approaching the box office gross of Mobile Suit Gundam III: Encounters In Space (a hit anime film in its day). Apparently, the unexpected turnout for the Zeta movie is breaking records in theaters nationwide. Goo Movies reports that audiences were made up of the "core Gundam fan", males in the 20-34 demographic, as well as ages 35-49. Females in their teens and in the 20-34 demographic also turned up though the gender ratio is being given as 70% male, 30% female. While no Miyazaki-sized hit, this can certainly be seen as some kind of vindication for director Yoshiyuki Tomino, whose last few works haven't been known for their commercial success. Heirs To The Stars made more money in its first weekend than some other high-profile anime films from the past year did in theirs, including Ghost In The Shell 2: Innocence (141 million yen, 278 theaters, #5 for the weekend), Appleseed (65 million yen, 112 theaters, #6), and Steamboy (158 million yen, 261 theaters, #4). And, indeed, the official Zeta movies site now carries a thank-you message from Tomino. In retrospect, the smartest move may have been associating the film with J-rock star Gackt as his tireless publicity efforts over the last few weeks seem to have garnered the most attention from the mainstream press there. The Top 10 in Japan for the weekend of May 28-29: 1) Negotiator Masayoshi Mashita 2) Million Dollar Baby 3) Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam -Heirs To The Stars- 4) Kingdom Of Heaven 5) Memorial Of Flame (aka Ladder 49) 6) The Interpreter 7) Shall We Dance? Closer 9) Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events 10) The Mask 2 (aka Son Of The Mask)

What`s going on here What the ...............

Something for the Sony fans ... hehehe "The PlayStation [3] is not a game machine. We've never once called it a game machine," stated Kutaragi at the beginning of his latest interview. http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/05/24/news_6126423.html

From Guntoa : Seiyuu for Z II A close-up look at the poster for Zeta II, as shown at Gundam Imperfect Web, confirms some seiyuu rumors going around 2ch the last couple of days: Four Murasame - Yukana (changed from Saeko Shimazu) Sarah Zabiarov - Chizuru Ikewaki (changed from Yuuko Mizutani) Haman Karn - Yoshiko Sakakibara (thankfully the same) The release date for the third film is also said to be in February of 2006. Gundam Mk II terrorizes Akihabara The Akiba Blog has an amusing photo report on a Titans Gundam Mk II cosplayer hanging around in front of a Kakuta Sofmap PC store in Akihabara today. The Mk II, using an umbrella as a beam saber, obligingly posed for photographs for passing shoppers. It appeared to have been a very popular temporary attraction. http://blog.livedoor.jp/geek/archives/23508434.html http://www2.odn.ne.jp/~cdo67250/

but I think most of the MW guys have their games/play on mobile phone.

Zeo here are some EMSIA Gundam MK II gallery if you are interested : http://underson.cool.ne.jp/MIA/RX-1782ndAEUG.html

Haven`t you guys heard of a Gundam-rang

Most of here prefer to play on consoles and PC`s, portable are just a side game systems.

Nice work Anubis, I really like the Kampfer. As for the GQ model everybody gave excellent reviews and also many are hoping for other GQ MS from other series.

thats because you got to read the Xbone Gundam manga They should have made an anime out of it at least a movie trilogy or an OVA serie instead of the crappy seed destiny.

Nice me like are these kits cheap cuz if so I`m planning to buy a few.

I would to know which of the bootlegs scale 1/55 accepts original parts from Bandai and Takatoku.

May be in the end I`ll stick with Nintendo no matter. 3 days ago I wanted to buy the slim PS2 but suddenly I stopped and the problem with me and Sony is their quality of the console or may be I`ll get me another NGC as a collectors item since it has the advantage to play Gameboy games on TV with GB-Player. PS: Did any of you played Castlevania- Aria of Sorrow, its the best game I`ve played in years.

NCSX still has the Super VF-1S for 90$.

Thanx for telling me , I thought they both spell the same in the English writing. Anyway no need to change it.

Very easy, if you love the seiyuu`s get the import
