    Default PS3, X360, or perhaps Revolution?

    The new consoles are coming out very soon and when that happens,the life of the old ones weve come to know and love are fading away. The PS2 is my baby for the whole winter usually. But now I got to save up $300 by at least till NOV 22 or MAR 11 for a new one. NOT LIKELY. I'm not sure which one I will get, if I get one at all. It would be nice to make a change from PS to XBox but I have no normal Xbox so I have nothing Backwards compatible with the 360. I was Playing it at Wal-Mart yesterday and HOLY CRAP. I can actually hold the controller this time! Its a lot easier to handle. I was playing Call of Duty 2 and I could not imagine using the origial controller for it. The Black and silver buttons near the bottom are now R and L And youve got R2 and L2 too. You can Push in that X symbol for tips I think. The only reason why I might not get an XBox360 is there is probably not enough foreign games for it and its too soon, my Dad wont hit the lottery before NOV 22 and he just got me a sucky DS that I has only one game. My mom is getting my bro a PS2 for him to take to college. Im to bored to finish this now so Ill finish it later.
    Active after a year? ZOMG.

    But yeah when i DID post a year ago I was an ass to everyone. So sorry about that. You can totally tell I used to think i was "gangsta" just by my name. Boy have I changed.

    It's a deadlock between the Revolution (for having the possibility of Sega games) and the XBox 360 (for 2D fighting games). The Piece of [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] 3 PS3 only has one good game going for it so far, MGS4.

    i will probably get a revolution. the controller is inovative, and when you dont like it, you can just put the shell over it and use it as a regular controller. but i really like puzzle games, which nintendo does more of. if you like shooters go for the xbox, halo is pretty good, (and i like kotor) as for the p. (o.) s. 3 i, always liked FF games, but aside from those, Which suck now, it has almost no good games.

    as of know, im hoping the revolution controller will allow nintendo to make some really cool games. but if they blow it like nintendo can, i might buy a xbox. (note that i dont really like many games for xbox. but when they make a good game, its really good.)

    Oooh lovely!
    What 2D fighting games are lined up for the 360? I bet there's a lot!

    I'm definately going to get the PS3 as soon as I can afford it. I've got a feeling it's going to launch at at least $499.99. That said, there's no way I'll be buying a 360 any time soon, but I do plan on considering it, for Mistwalker mainly. I also have a feeling the Revolution is going to launch at a ridiculously low cost to undersell the other two. I'm thinking $249.99 or possibly even $199.99, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Truthfully I want all three of them, but I can't imagine having nearly enough money for that in my current financial situation.

    PS3 takes precedence, definitely. Nippon Ichi's been producing for PS2 exclusively, and I am betting that trend will continue. Nippon Ichi #1!

    PS3. Why? With DMC4, RE5, Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy, MGS4, Sonic, and Warhawk; why the hell not? Revolution also has my interest only because I want to see what Nintendo's actually going to do with it. I have no plans to buy one until I see some games. My level of interest for the Xbox 360 is precisely zero right now. It's shaping up to be a lot like the Xbox for me; no exclusives I feel are worth buying the console for.

    While Perfect Dark Zero and Elder Scrolls IV look quite promising, There's really nothing so far on the 360 that interests me. The PS3 has potential to be good, but it's still a pipe dream due to ridicuously high development costs. The Revolution has the advantage of being, simply, Nintendo awesomeness.

    Actually. Most Nippon Ichi games have 3D stuff in them, like battle screens and world maps. That's NI's loophole.

    And I beleive it's been confirmed the US X360 will be 2D fighter exlusives since SNK has already signed on to port KoFXI to the 360.

    EDIT: Also, the PS3 will use blu-rays, this will make new games VERY expensive.

    how bout RE5, or all the mistwalker games, or Call of Duty 2, Gears of War, theres plenty of good games out there for 360.

    The revolution hasnt announced or shown us a single game that they have. The only thing theyve shown us has been their "innovative" controler that probably will ruin your wrists. The only thing the Rev. has goin for it is that its gonna be cheap and that you can get all the old games on it i.e Chrono Trigger.

    I'll probably end up owning all of them at one point. I don't know what I'll get first, though. It depends on what games are coming out. If MGS4 comes out before anything catches my interest on the 360 or Revolution, I'm getting a PS3 first.

    Nintendo doesn't have to annouce the games they'll be releasing, you know at least half of them, a zelda, a mario, a mario party or 5, a mario kart, super smash bros... a lot of the same types of games, plus you can download old games, plus it'll be the cheapest, plus I have a gamecube, so yeah

    That right there is why I'm going for a Revolution right now (besides the fact that I am never going to have $500 to blow). Most of my favorite gaming series are all made by Nintendo and I know they are going to be made even if Nintendo doesn't announce them until a day before they are released. If I go with a Revolution I'm guaranteed to have games that I have fun playing. And fun is the entire purpose of video games.

    Sorces?
    I know Blu-ray might make $20 movies a bit more expensive, but it's pretty stupid to pass the extra production costs of a $50 game onto the buyers.
