what are you doin about it?

i got a gamecube last time around, while all my friends had xbox and ps2, so i'm not going to make that mistake again.

it'll probably be my one christmas present. my girlfriend's brother is a dork too, so he's going to mod it out for me and shit.

i'll get tiger woods 2006 and will play that for the next 6 months since it's hard as hell.

Considering the fact that a console usually sells on the advancments made over the previous model, you'd think Microsoft would have thought more carefully about the name. 360 suggests nothing more to me than finishing up where you left off.

They may as well have called it the Xbox StepBackwards, or the Xbox Ifitaintbrokedontfixit.

My lady is getting both so I win either way. But she seems to recommend the PS3 more than the 360, while right now she is all about the XBox and is happy with the PS2.

PS2 was better than the X-Box. Cube, although it had a heaping pile of cartoon-ish games, was awsome.


Revolution=purchase
PS3=no
360=fuck no

I'd get the PS3 just for Metal Gear Solid 4, thought I don't know what else for. Nintendo Revolution has the great nintendo games. Xbox has...nothing I couldn't get on other systems. except Halo. but halo sucks hard.

But don't you think that XBox has crisper graphics? I am a PS2 man myself, but I will admit that the same game for PS2 on XBox has better graphics.

Where is BA01 with her take??

I would also like to add "wise fwom youw gwave" for no real reason at all except that it is on repeat inside my noggin.

Explain.
The Nintendo Revolution is going to be the most innovative of the three. The controller itself is a bizarre remote-control piece combined with a seperate analog stick on an attachment connected to the 'remote control' part by wire. For something like a first person shooter, you point and aim with the remote part and press one of the buttons to shoot. It's going to have a Gamecube looking controller add on, so you can play old Game cube games without the new controller.

The PS3 is going to cost your first born when it comes out, so I will wait until the price goes down a lot before I consider buying it. Graphics will bypass the 360, as will the processing unit.

I despised the X-Box controller, it was the largest and most poorly designed controller ever, including the dreamcasts'. Nothing really fantastically new about the 360, except its fast and bigger. its illegal modification abilities will be what draws me towards it.

I am a PS2 man as well, and I agree, the graphics are better. That doesn't make up for that shitty ass controller though.

PS controller is the only way to go. Do you know how many times I've had my ass slaughtered in 007 because of the 32 million buttons on the Nintendo controllers?

haha never thought of it like that.

i'll for sure not be getting the xbox 360. i'll most likely go with the revolution. but i'll definitely be waiting for about a year until the prices drop significantly.

game developers are saying that the ps3 and xbox are both very difficult to develop games for with the type of technology they have. but they also say the xbox is much easier compared to the ps3. it seems that the developers are embraceing the xbox more than the ps3.

ex-fuckin-actly

you can't play katamari damacy on that shitty xbox controller, and the 360 is being rushed to market just to beat out sony which is what hurt sony last time when they got to market first. and while the xbox was able to get better graphics and such, that controller is inexcusable.

I'm pretty good at GTA:SA on PS2 and couldn't play for shit on XBOX.

they always do this shit though, it's much easier to keep doing the same thing. and they bitched the same way when they went into development of the ps2.
