Of course I'm going to wait until PS3 comes out to compare the two. Never knows that surprises removed Sony, in truth I always have bought Sony consoles because they are the best ones for my clear taste.

Who thinks just as I?

The graphics are nice in the system.

But I'm only looking forward to the rev and maybe the ps3. All systems will have about the same level of graphics. And non on is really going to take full advantage of the mutli processors for quite some time. Valve and Carmack have already stated that you won't see full potential with the multi-cpu setup till MAYBE the end of this generation, and only the big house studios with money to pu into development and resources would.

And I always prefer a pc anyway. I'm really thinking of trying to nab 3 ps3's, then selling 2. That way I would at least come out with a free ps3!

I go to this place and do stuff for them for eight hours a day, then they give me money. I can then use that money to buy stuff like a 360 or PS3.

well I'm going to get a ps3 as well but thats not coming out for awhile so I could wait. 360 should kill the wait time. Well if they hurry up and release games that is.

My job pays well, it's full time and all I do is sit on a computer and crush people like ants, heheh...But, it helps me afford the things I love which largely consists of gaming and other things...Regardless of the console, I will purchase the machine that has the games I research and show deep interest in. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is a true blessing for the Xbox 360 and PC...Well worth my time and money, as I bought a small HDTV and 5.1 surround sound with this game in mind.

- Fortunately the Xbox 360 has no internet browser, or it would be more easily taken over by hackers. I hate the thought of potentially buying anti-virus/hacker/spam software just because the big companies decided to make gaming consoles like PC's
If your always worried about crushing the ants beneath you; you won't be able to walk.

Bump.

I might get Alien Hominid HD if the demo is good.

Can't wait for SotN since I just found out that my modded PSTwo won't play PS1 games.

Will the 360 version of Symphony of the Night be based on the original U.S. version or the Japanese Saturn version with the extra weapons and maps?

I'm waiting for Dracula X on PSP to get my PS1/saturn SoTN fix.

Bullet Witch is only 50 USD but Motorstorm comes next week and I must reserve Odin Sphere.

That's cute but I have money to waste. And I'm going to waste it on Odin Sphere and Motorstorm.
