Isn't this the best generation yet? No, really!

All that stuff Sony and MS were blathering about a few years back at E3 and CES, about this generation being all about connectivity? It's pretty damn true. I mean, without connectivity, the PS3 would never have become blessed with in-game XMB, the 360 would never have received the ability to have downloads happen in he background or even resume. Hell, even the Wii has benefited from the networked nature of this generation with updates for its interface. That's pretty impressive already, and that's just a few things off the top of my head that firmware updates have added. When you did in deeper there's the wonder of DLC and online multiplayer gaming. Truly, we no longer need to buy a new edition of Guitar Hero each year thanks to Harmonix moving on to Rock Band and releasing new songs for it weekly- and we can customise the experience to our liking, too! We also have Xbox Live Arcade, the Playstation Store, WiiWare and Virtual console libraries continuously expanding with great new games.

I know I'm really just rambling, but I can't help being exciting about the times we're living in. It really is a fantastic time to be a gamer, and I can't wait to see what else the industry has in store...
