My main point is this. I will buy a games console for just that.... playing games. I don't want it to play HD movies or have all the bells a whistles which will send the price through the roof. I want it to play games and at a reasonable price.
Im sorry but these "game systems"are a bit over priced imho.
SONY must have lost their mind releasing this at xmas.No way in hell im paying 600 bucks to play a game.Microsoft is just as bad.Apparently they forgot that most people can do other useful things with it.
Although i will say it looks as if the 360 is a better system as it does MORE than just play games.At least the Wii would be a bit more original.
Ill start my own poll here as well.

PS3 and Xbox 360 aren't innovative what so ever. It's just like another EQ clone with better graphics. I know they will sell hugely, because some people actually think graphics equals gameplay. That said, PS3 and Xbox 360 does have some interesting features and games, but I just think the quality and innovention of the games that will be released for the Wii out rules that.
Besides, most types of games you can play on the PS3 and Xbox 360, you can play on your PC. I want to play different games on my console.

Amen! Preach the gospel my brotha'! Ok no more of that.
But yes, Wii all the way here, im gonna run up to EB sometime this week and see if they are taking preorders/reserves yet, and Ill probably reserve MP3 and Twilight Princess as well.
Ive seen the promo videos, Ive seen the E3 "commericals", ive seen Nintendos pre-E3 confrence, and ive seen gameplay videos from E3 as well as players reactions, its no longer speculation, rumor or whatif's anymore, its fact; Nintendo has changed gaming for the better, the way they are played and the way they are made, and I want to experience that.

Heh. Rikimaru is no fanboy of anything. I will have all systems in the end. Besides, I have a Compaq Presario hanging out on a site where you guys clearly crush my in PC power and games like what you guys are playing will fry my PC. Do you call that being a fanboy?

I feel where you are comming from. Think about it this way. You are thinking about the system yet not about the game. You are comparing a system to a game rather than a system to a system. Get it?
You would find a game being an EQ clone with better graphics. The system is just keep up with new technology. So some creators may be thinking that a game with better graphics is a good thing when It might slap them in the face later on. Don't hate the system, hate the game.
So your comparison is not good but your leaning in the right path buddy. (no offence on your preaching).
1. The xbox 360 has already proven itself a good console with excellent graphics and good games.
2. The nintendo Wii has revolutionary controls that make even simplistic games fun.
3. I can own both of these amazing machines for the price of one PS3.
I think the choice is obvious.

I think the choice is obvious.
First two are true... The 3rd one not neccesarily true... Could go either way. Add this one. Sony has the largest Publisher and Creator Support out of any console out... or ever made (console not PC). I'm sure the Choice is still Obvious but which one of the obvious choices will you make? You know what .. I'm done with these Consoles... I'm puttin all my money on Infinium Labs' Phantom Phantom

Yess , I agree with you ^__^
Now thats a fanboy comment....but yeah I have been on that PSX road too. Just remember. You don't have to base a purchase based on a sequal . . . . wait...humm....well.
Sony only cares about being number one. They are always going with the crowd and listen TOO much to the hardcore gamer indrustry. They never come up with something new and has to look at Microsoft and Nintendo for ideas. Seriously, all the PS3 is is a souped up PS2 with add on features and better graphic abilities. And their "new" controller looks like the PS1 controller.

Are you kidding me? Your information came from a website called the Inquirer..? Which also has reports that the police has trained sniffer dogs to correctly identify Pirated software CD's and DVDs in an airport? You're reading the wrong news site my friend.
EDIT: While some of the stories may be true.. the site is littered with other retarded news... Like Microsoft has nuclear weapons... and other personal opinions that shouldn't be classified as news. Like.. "ATI are the Klingons and Nvidia is the Borg"...

Nah, Microsoft and Nintendo "has" ideas. They made some great things and brought new ideas into gaming. Sony's PS3 borrowed some of their "top" ideas for the PS3. They even mentioned (compared basicly) Xbox Live at the press conference.
I can't beleive the mentioned myspace at the press conference though. I was about the throw up. That is not somthing you would hear at a huge press conference.

The XBOX 360 is a souped up console too but at least it is original because of their onlien service.

Correct me if I'm wrong.. But how is XBox Live an original function to the XBox360? I'm PRETTY DANG SURE... that XBox Live for 360 is just an updated XBox Live for Xbox...... Or are you telling me that the two are SOOOoooo different that XBox LIVE for 360 is a TOTally Original Concept, That XBox Live is something new.. that NO-ONE was expecting... Ala Nintendo's motion sensitive wii-mote?

Excuse you?
First off, PS3 costs $499 for 20 GB and $599 for 60 GB.
Secondly, Xbox 360 has more memory than PS3? HAH! The Xbox 360 has 20 GB which is the same as the $499 version of the PS3.

You can call it an update, just like how a PS2 upgrades to a PS3 or a Xbox upgrades to a 360. There is a lot of new things for 360's Xbox Live. You just have to experience it. The marketplace, downloading demos, You actually have a profile and you don't need to be on Live to communicate to your online buddies. You can do it all from Xbox.com (sending messages and stuff), you have your own online profile. Much, much more.
I've always been a supporter of sony. Plus, it seems to get the most variety in games. I'll wait a year or 2 before buying it though, because i'd have to pay for it.
