New Video Card

I just bought a new video card from newegg. I always buy stuff from newegg, they always have the lowest prices. They must get a huge amount of sales to have the prices they do. One thing I noticed while researching cards is that it seems that the mid mid-level cards are starting to become lower priced, while the higher end cards are becoming more expensive. I got an x1600 512mb for $140, which in my book is quite a steal.

I was also thinking about how PS3 and Xbox 360 are becoming more and more like computers. They are almost to the point where its more expensive to buy one of those systems than it is to buy a gaming computer. Nintendo on the other hand seems to want to innovate more and bring creativity to the table, rather than just pure graphics. When the next series of systems comes out, Sony (if still around) and Microsoft really need to start innovating more rather than trying to create a badass computer. In the direction they are going now, I doubt these types of systems will last long.
