Which Next Generation console are you planning on buying? I'm leaning towards the Revolution, with it's downloads of all previous NINTENDO games.
Rereading these forums make me feel old >.<

It's a toss-up between the 3. The Revolution still has no confirmed Tech specs up yet. Via Xbox Live I have heard from people who beta'ed the 360 and the PS3, and by far the PS3 has better tech specs, but it depends if it has online capibilties and how much it will be.

Leaning towards the 360.

Xbox 360 all the way. I'm getting it for one main reason. This reason is known as The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

I'm going to grab a Playstation 3 as soon as I can. Anything Sony makes is best (I've been a long time Sony user). Nothing can compare to their headphones or TVs either. I'm sorry to you Xbox fans but I'm not paying $40cdn for a month of online gaming when the online experience with ps2 is just as good for free. Also I've heard they're going to start charging for certain games that go online (SOCOM 3 is supposed to be less than $5 a month, but I'll do it because I'm a rabid SOCOM fan).

I can see why XBox 360 is winning this so far, but it shouldn't be. Most people are going to get one because it has technical specifications out already and it will be availiable sooner than PlayStation 3.

BUT. PlayStation Three will, quite simply, rewrite the rulebook. It actually renders everything as it goes along, meaning that nothing will ever happen the same way, and you will never reach the limits of what a game can offer. It may be longer to wait for, but Sony will always win as far as I'm concerned.

Leaning toward the PS3. My parents aren't going to let me play LIVE on a 360 because it has a camera, and people will just stick pics of a Private Spot or the middle finger up to the camera.

PS3 for me, but not right away. I would rather wait and buy when the price drops cause it'll be really expensive for a while.

I originally voted for PIII, but I changed my vote (via the mod-edit system) to the XBox 360 because Final Fantasies will be moving there. But that PIII controler looks pretty sweet!

The PS3 controlers look like a banana boomerang. PS3 all the way, if I can afford it. :blink:

I've already voted for the PS3, but I'm having second thoughts. I might buy a Nintendo Revolution instead, so I can play all those old Nintendo games on it (and I want Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2 Echoes).

PS3 all the way. I'll buy anything with a CPU that happens to have what, 48 cores?

You can pretty much ignore the times on that, I rarely ever have Xfire on when I play. I should, though.
