I dunno about that. ps3 still seems like more smoke and mirrors at this point. And I really don't know how much the harddrive matters to less hardcore gamers. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" — "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

I don't want to see either the 360 or the PS3 because I don't think they bring with them anything positive for the industry. If anything, I see TEH DOOM AND GLOOM on the horizon with many developers going under or being bought up and absorbed/dismantled. Also, since the only way we seem to get really good games right now is to sort of carpet bomb the market with tons of shit, hoping something sticks while the ratio of good to bad games is staggeringly in favor of the bad. So, in order to get a really good game we must also endure twenty bad games....when it's no longer economically feasible to make twenty something games in a realistic timetable, then we'll maybe get seven to ten games. The ratio of good to suck will stay constant, I'm sure, but we'll have fewer and fewer games to choose from. Long live the PC! (And maybe Nintendo, but I don't know what the hell they're even up to.) Accipere quam facere praestat injuriam...

I'm getting an X360, just because it's first out. The only must-buy for me so far is PGR3 (liked the first, skipped the second) but I'm interested in several others. I'll also absolutely be buying a Revolution, because, hey, it's Nintendo. And of course, once next-gen GTA comes out I'll probably have to buy a PS3 as well. Assuming they don't price themselves out of the game. PC gaming is dead, but you can still sodomize the corpse.
|
|
I am going to come in late this generation. Not buying any of the next gen systems until I can find at least 5-10 games that I really want to have before I buy any of them. Although I'll admit I am awfully tempted to run out and preorder a X360 just to say I have one. Funk. I lie awake

One good thing nintendo is supposedly doing is taking over some strategies it used for the DS, namely funding (and publishing) some smaller projects that will bring original (and exclusive) games onto their platform. |
|
Sony keeps yelling about how expensive the PS3 is going to be and blah blah games will cost this and that. Forget it. I'm not paying more than $50 for a video game ever. Good luck with that. My aging process has brought with it an infinite patience for games. I find that I enjoy games more when I buy them from the bargain bin a year after they come out. The only thing I'll pay full price for anymore is something that's niche and will likely be hard to find later on. |

One good thing nintendo is supposedly doing is taking over some strategies it used for the DS, namely funding (and publishing) some smaller projects that will bring original (and exclusive) games onto their platform. Depending on what the controller is, there's a very good chance of the Revolution being the platform of choice for indie developers that want to make a new genre for themselves. |

Is Nintendo going with a more traditional architecture, or are they too going to the asymetrical whatzawhozit that the 360 and PS3 are using which keeps getting Gabe Newell's stretch pants in a twist? I would hope they're going more traditional and would exploit that fact to get a lot more games out a lot faster than the other consoles, which might bring Nintendo back into the game in a big way. Even so, the Revolution isn't coming into my home until it has a really for real Mario game for me to play. If they don't launch with Mario128, then I'll have lost all faith in them.

Rumors currently speak of two CPU's, but not multicore (if I understand how CPU's work correctly). |
|
you do not understand! haha, just kidding. hi. i like you. do you like me?
|
|
If they don't launch with Mario128, then I'll have lost all faith in them. Whatever. You'll lap it up like the Mario fanboy you are and you'll LIKE IT. |
|
I will be buying a 360 at some point, but it won't be first day. None of the games are worth the purchase, at this point. Revolution, on the other hand, I'll be all over that like white on rice as soon as it's released. PS3 will depend on it's price and exclusives.

I plan on getting a 360 around holiday 2007 when it hits $150 and there are a crapload of games. Actually, the liberalism of the media - as a general thing - IS a major fallacy. What the media is, is a whore. -LP

You know, it's funny. Aside from Rez being hard to find, right now is the perfect time to buy any one of the three consoles. All the really good games are now $20 or less, and the consoles can be had for dirt cheap compared to what they originally went for. You may be on to something with this whole "wait two years" thing. |
|
I've been heavily debating with myself about purchasing a current Xbox right now. There are plenty good games for it, and I could get most from the platinum sellers list for $20. Any that is not, I could buy off ebay. And since backwards compatibility isn't guaranteed on the 360, it's not like I'm wasting money. Funk. I lie awake

I'll end up buying all three at some point because I'm a sucker. Kid: Because you went to the bathroom on mommy's dishes?
Willie: What the fuck? No! |

I have still managed to not buy a Gamecube. I think I can hold out. Game Developers: Don't forget the zombie monkeys.

Funk - I bought an xbox about a month ago. It's a very worthwhile purchase because there's a humungous back-catalogue of games going cheap. Also, although I'm sure I'd be happy to play the next gen titles, there's nothing about them that seems to titillate me more than current gen titles. They look prettier, and some of them are probably really cool, but I'm still more eager to play Burnout 3: Revenge than anything I've seen so far. There doesn't seem to be an intrinsic gaming betterness to the next gen, is what I'm trying to say. |

Just picked up Fable by Lionhead Studios/Microsoft Games for the XBOX. Good stuff. Has echoes of Black & White written all over it. It's almost designed like, 'What if we focused on at least one of the little villagers from Black & White." bd They say a midget standin' on the giant's shoulder can see much further than the giant...

Is it wrong of me to be looking forward to the Morrowind sequel? (right now, the main selling point to me for 360) こんにちは
|
|
Though I guess I could give *more* money to SE and buy the slightly upgraded FFXI (slightly better visuals). If it's like the PS2 version I can play on the same account. こんにちは
|
|
Oh, and on another positive note: super monkey ball is coming to the DS. Hurray! |
|
I have still managed to not buy a Gamecube. You should. There is no excuse for not having played Animal Crossing. Without me, Internet would never have had sex with the DS. -m0nty

Or Kirby Air Ride. PC gaming is dead, but you can still sodomize the corpse.

#46 by Greg Is it wrong of me to be looking forward to the Morrowind sequel? (right now, the main selling point to me for 360) No it's not. Although I'm mixed on if it being a selling point for the 360 is a good idea. On one hand they've said not to expect it to look any where near the screen shots on any thing other then the 360 or a high end pc, on the other the TES games haven't exactly been bug free (there's still a few morrowind quests that are bugged with out fan patches). |
|
#45 Greg Is it wrong of me to be looking forward to the Morrowind sequel? (right now, the main selling point to me for 360) Not at all, though I'll be playing it on the PC. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.

I'm pretty excited to the next Morrowwind too... I think because the last one had some much potential, I'm curious to see if they shored the huge problems with it.

On the xbox360 side, kameo is the only near launch title that sparks any interest. |

Never heard of it. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.

If you owned a PS2 and were considering 1 additional current gen platform to go with it, which would you get? XBOX or GameCube? I haven't been following the GC too much, and so I don't know if the exclusives make that console more interesting than the XBOX. Funk. I lie awake

kameo, by rare |

Kameo. PC gaming is dead, but you can still sodomize the corpse.
|
|
If you care about online play, go for Xbox. If you play a lot of multiplatform titles, go for Xbox. Else go for Gamecube. PC gaming is dead, but you can still sodomize the corpse.

Live! is great, if you're into that sort of thing. If you're a nintendo fan boi...well, I guess you wouldn't be asking. Otherwise, I'd probably go Xbox if I had to only buy one.

Sadly, I'm going to have to agree with the hippie. I'm pretty sure I'll get an Xbox 360 at some point, but the launch titles are pretty unremarkable, so I'll let the hardcore early adopters deal with the first revision hardware and high introductory price and I'll buy one in 6 months or so after release. I'll buy the Revolution ASAP because Nintendo consoles always have must-play titles, since Nintendo themselves are the greatest videogaming company of all time. I may or may not ever buy the PS3, it really depends on if there are enough must-play games for it and if the price is really as ridiculous as some people have predicted based on the cost of putting blu-ray drives in them. I'd rather have Super Monkey Ball 3 on the Gamecube (or Xbox) than Super Monkey Ball on the DS, but whatever. I'll take what I can get. Between We <3 Katamari, Ultimate Spiderman and Burnout Revenge this should be a pretty good month for games. Unless you're one of those anti-console gamers... in which case, have fun playing through Half-Life 2 again. Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me. |

I chose the Gamecube over the Xbox. Mostly for Metroid and Zelda and I'm quite happy with my choice. I figured if anything really good came out on Xbox it'd likely be ported to the PS2 or PC while great Gamecube games would likely stay exclusive. There still isn't much on Xbox that interests me enough to buy it. I SAID PURPLE, BITCH!
|
|
The XBox is the only current console I don't own, but I don't give a rat's ass about online play. In fact, I actively despise it. Without me, Internet would never have had sex with the DS. -m0nty

I know Kameo has been in development for a while (I had an old demo disc that had a preview movie for it, back when it was going to be an Xbox 1 game) but man some of those screenshots on the linked page look amazingly WoW/Night Elfish. Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me. |
|
I chose the Gamecube over the Xbox. The current consoles only cost about as much (for the hardware) as two games. There are many good to great Xbox games on sale for $20 these days. I don't really understand the concept of choosing one system over the other this late into a console generation... unless you're poor like Kenny's family. Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me. |
|
YF has a point. You should buy both a GC and an Xbox and then buy my entire game collection, then you'll be set. PC gaming is dead, but you can still sodomize the corpse.
|
|
I didn't choose this late, I chose it a long time ago. I still don't see any compelling reason to buy an Xbox to this very day though. I don't care to play console games online (I have my PC for that) so what would I use it for? I SAID PURPLE, BITCH!
|
|
I don't really see a reason to buy an XBox when there are still good games for the systems I own to play. I didn't buy a PS2 till I ran out of GC games. I don't have enough shelf space or A/V ports for three consoles. Without me, Internet would never have had sex with the DS. -m0nty

To play awesome console games like Crimson Skies on LAN. Also, to play the best available versions of the GTA3 games and other multiplatform games like Burnout. Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,

|
What LAN? Without me, Internet would never have had sex with the DS. -m0nty

Yeah, what's a LAN? Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.

With all my friends who don't own XBoxes? Hell, I've never even had enough people over for a four player game on GC. Without me, Internet would never have had sex with the DS. -m0nty
|
|
Shadarr's reason is the same as mine. I don't have enough shelf space or A/V ports for three consoles. It is a space issue. And I don't have enough time to explore the libraries of both consoles. Funk. I lie awake

#72 Your Friend The Xbox LAN you put together to play awesome console games like Crimson Skies on LAN. Considering that none of my other friends own game consoles, this will prove to be difficult.
