Next Gen console?

Stark · Post by **Stark** » 2005-10-07 07:56pm

I'm not buying any for several months. Xboxes can basically kiss my ass, particularly if most people buy the no-HDD version. PS3s sound like a typical Sony clusterfuck, and I don't trust Nintendo to release dick or squat for six months plus.

All three.

Already got my name down for a 360, already looking forward to DOA4 (with a cameo character from Halo), Too Human, Mass Effect, Ninety Nine Nights...

I'm getting the 360. Microsofts earned my dollars. ^.^

Well, it looks like I'll have come people to play with.

Never realized that there are so many nintendo fans on this board. I guess that means SDN gets +1 to vanity.

PS3 for me. It will get all the third party games and a good selection of first party ones. It's also not a undercut ripoff (xbox 360) nor a niche product (NRev).

I'll be getting a PS3 for sure because I have a butt-load of PS2 games and my PS2 recently took a shit. So, I'm gonna need a PS3 to play all those games. I may decide to buy another console later on.

PS3 because I love my PS2 games. And I'm an unabashed GTA fanwhore, and if they stay true to form GTA4 will come out first on PS3.

Hell, I'll even buy a PSP to get Liberty City Stories.

I'll have a Revolution, please. Sony can have my money if the number-of-titles-that-I'm-interested-in to price ratio for the PS3 becomes favourable, and Microsoft can have my money when they pry it from my cold dead hands (nevar!!11!1).

But first I'll be getting me a DS. It's part of the next generation too, you know.

Mmm...Revolution, baby.

Revolution for sure, after a year if the 360 has any games on it worth getting other then Halo 3. I'll pick one up too.

I don't buy consoles.

Revolution.

Just being able to play my current Gamecube games and get my favourite N64 games gets it my $$.

Super Smash Brothers and Mario Tennis are easily the most fun multiplayer games I've ever played.

I certainly will enjoy being able to play the old 8 and 16 bit Nintendo games again, without the annoying hassles of cleaning cartridge contacts.

And I'll be able to play new games too. It's a win-win situation.

Seriously. Being able to play all of my old games ALONE, even with a nominal fee, is easily worth the price of the system.

That really is an incredible deal.

I'll pick up a system when there's a game for it that I simply must have but can't get anywhere else. I bought a Playstation just to play Final Fantasy Tactics, and never bought another game after it. More recently I got an X-Box just to play Forza Motorsport. Both the PS and the XBox were on the verge of being replaced by a new generation when I got them. The last console I picked up at or near launch was the SNES ($199.99 for the system, two controllers, and Super Mario World, fancy that).

Vanas · Post by **Vanas** » 2005-10-10 03:44pm

I'll certainly get a Revolution, as Nintendo make rather good games. Plus, they're at least trying to do something different.
Then, maybe I'll pick up a soon-to-be cut price PS2, Wanda & the Colossus and a few Nippon Ichi games. yess.

GrandMasterTerwynn · Post by **GrandMasterTerwynn** » 2005-10-10 04:03pm

PC, as my game-playing habits can be described thusly:

"Solitaire a few times a month. If I'm in the mood for it, Star Wars: Battlefront or Jedi Academy. If I'm feeling nostalgic, one of the true-3D ports of DOOM. Otherwise, looking at pr0n. Can't do that on a console, now can you!"

Shadowhawk · Post by **Shadowhawk** » 2005-10-10 07:33pm

I'll likely be getting all three, but not at launch. The XB360 and PS3 will probably have to wait until there's some games I'm interested in before I plop down $350+.

I'll almost certainly get the Revolution at launch, though, rather than waiting for Zelda or Metroid to come out like last time (assuming they aren't launch titles).

I need to vote twice. Because who am I kidding, I'll be buying both the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

Mobius · Post by **Mobius** » 2005-10-11 03:18am

i'll probably go for a 360 (PC games but uniformized, no need for an upgrade every year) and a Revolution (Nintendo games, duh!).

Im staying with microsoft because they have the DOA series and all my other favorites like Halo 3, after that I might buy a playstation 3

Ypoknons · Post by **Ypoknons** » 2005-10-12 10:27pm

I might buy a 360 out of sheer geekism. That thing is powerful. And it'll be out months before anything else could catch up.
