I don't know anything about the PS3's online marketplace, what are the similarities to the 360 and does it have potential to be better?

I was wondering: Why browse the internet tubes on a console, as opposed to just using your computer?

What do you think of pro-gamers now be required (ok, not until next year and only for the CPL) to take drug tests for such substances as Ritalin and Crystal Meth? Do you think this is going to far or a smart move forward for eSports, which seems to be growing in popularity?

Does the Wii have the third party software support that the Gamecube lacked? Does the unique control make it easier or harder to develop for the Wii vs. the PS3 and 360?

Also, why does my cat snore?

I've changed the wording a bit, but I reiterate a few of my old questions from Podtoid 8;

1. "Will the Wii be able to contend with its 'competitors' for the next five years (ten if you believe Sony)?"

2. "Will popularity of cost-per-download 'premium content' yield bare-bones games with 'optional packs' that can be downloaded to enhance the gameplay experience? It's all about choice, of course."

3. "Exactly how many sequels is 'Gears of War' going to get? And when will the formula get stale?"

Seriously, Niero. Destructocon. Make it happen. It'll be the new PAX, which is going to be the new E3.

What do you guys think about platforms other than Windows for gaming ( excluding consoles ). Do Mac and Linux gamers really have that much hope, or should we ( and by we, I mean "I" ) cave in and get a PC with Windows for playing the PC-only funness?

Hey, gonna chip in with what I hope is another thought-provoking issue.

Do you think that the push for consoles games to have bleeding-edge graphics is hurting the content of said games?

The big-budget games cost so much that the output tends to be limited to 10-15 hours of gameplay, is the trade a worth it?

Would the opposite, longer but not so pretty games, be any better?

maybe the PS3 will give linux gaming some hope. but maybe not.
