Zelda, Mario and Harvest Moon games are all I need to justify a purchase. Those will be released eventually, so it's a day one purchase for me even if they don't impress me at E3. Hitman etc. is a nice bonus but not a deciding factor. You can always play those games on other systems if they aren't released for the Wii U.

I use my PC a lot. In fact, I don't even own a console at the moment. However, you get more of a social experience with a console when compared to the PC. I'm not saying that you can't do that with a PC, but it's different. It's not like you sit down on the couch with a couple of friends and play Super Smash Bros. or Mario Kart on a computer. It's almost always over the Internet, which can get kind of boring sometimes. It's nice to interact with human beings once i a while. While a PC most certainly offers the best experience by far when it comes to graphics (and content in some games), it's about more than that.

The Wii is the weakest and least "hardcore" console out there, but in all honesty... I've never had so many laughs when playing with friends on any other console or PC. And that is what makes the experience superior to me.

350$ isn't really that much. However, 350$ usually results in a 350 Euro (roughly 460$) price tag over here. I'll most certainly buy it, but it's still a little too much... If it turns out to be accurate.

Well, they'll certainly get my money. I actually think they'll sell a bunch of Wii U consoles. People are always curious and they are releasing it way ahead of the competitors. Just combine that with a nice launch line-up and they're set.

A new Harvest Moon would be nice. It's impossible not to love them.

Ok, thanks again. I think I'll find a good motherboard and get two of those Gigabyte cards then. :)

Okay, thanks for the answer. I've heard that non-reference coolers are kind of bad when doing SLI, but maybe I'm wrong. I will be putting them in a Fractal Design Define XL. I haven't really decided on a motherboard (socket 1155) yet, but if you have any tips I'll gladly take them.

The GTX 580 cards are getting dirt cheap now that GTX 680 has been released. I want to put a couple of them in SLI, but I have question about overheating. The model I'm thinking about is the Gigabyte Geforce GTX 580 Windforce 3X OC as it seems like a decent card. However, it does not a have reference cooler. Will overheating be a major problem? Has anyone else tried putting two of these together?

Thanks! :)

Nope, I wouldn't want to be immortal. It would suck to live forever.

You don't have to use Sony. I don't know if Lexar cards are good or not, but I don't see why they should be bad. I'd totally recommend SanDisk, though. Cheap and reliable. I've used their cards for my PSP, cellphone, camera etc and I've never had any trouble. A 16 GB model should set you back less than 30 bucks.
