Something like 20K people lost power.  We lost power for a good 23 hours, which was really not that big of a deal except for missing out on all the E3 coverage.  I guess I will have to play catch up this weekend to see if Sony presented anything worth while, and if the Wii is going to be a nice little system.<\/p>\n<p>I am so shocked at the PS3 price point that I looked at 360s yesterday and this morning.  I have no problem with a $400 price point (especially compared to the arm + leg that Sony is going to charge for the PS3), but I just did not see anything that I *had* to have on the 360.  PGR4 and maybe the Elder Scrolls game (not sure what it is called) looked interesting, but not overly so compared to my massive PSX\/PS2 library.<\/p>\n<p>I almost picked up a 360 for FFXI, which I never considered on the PS2 because I knew it would not be supported.  With the 360 I know that will not be the case because Live is there from the get go.  Speaking of which, I still have a hard time justifying $60 for Live, but I am still a solo gamer.  Maybe at some point I will be converted (or should I say de-converted?).<\/p>\n<p>I am sure I will keep window shopping, but as of right now I am not ready to leap out and grab a 360.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Wednesday night was a heck of a storm.
