I’m thinking of getting a video game console system. Trouble is, I haven’t really followed the market since the days of the original Nintendo. I do own a N64, but I didn’t really research it before I bought it, and it looks pretty bad on our HDTV.

So I’m hoping someone out there can give me some advice, or some links to sites that could give me some advice. I have no idea at all where to start.

My criteria to begin with are:

• Support for HDTV systems. Are there any widescreen (16:9) game systems or games out there? That would be ideal.
• Not about to be end-of-lifed. I want it to be able to play new releases for awhile yet.
