What will you be buying?

Vendetta · Post by **Vendetta** » 2006-05-13 01:14pm

All three, because I'm a mad bastard.

I won't be buying a PS3 until they've had some serious price drops though.

I'll probably get a Wii and a PS3, but I'll wait for the Playstation price drop and I'll be getting it mostly for the Blueray Drive and secondarily as a gaming machine. MGS4 looks pretty cool, as do some of Sony's other games.

The Wii seems like a ridiculously good buy for me. I would seriously buy that machine only so I could download the old games and play them all from a single system. The fact that the controller looks amazing and many of their games (Zelda: TP in particular) look like can't-miss items is only the sweet, sweet icing.

I already own a 360. I'll definitely be picking up a Wii, also, because I don't think you can go wrong with Nintendo. Especially not for $250 or so.

The only reason I'd consider buying a PS3 is if it was the only place I could play future iterations of Guitar Hero.

If you asked me a week ago I would have said Wii and PS3.

After the price announcements, and after playing some of the games and seeing the released lists of games...

PS3 has fallen off my radar and Wii has consumed it.

PC, for Supreme Commander, and the fact that my desktop is 4 years short of a decade old. And maybe a Wii....

Duckie · Post by **Duckie** » 2006-05-13 02:47pm

Wii and a 360, once the Wii comes out and the price of the latter is lowered

I wouldn't get the 360 otherwise, but I'm banking on some good games being developed for it and I am an unabashed Bungie fanwhore.

DPDarkPrimus · Post by **DPDarkPrimus** » 2006-05-13 02:50pm

I plan on getting a 360 eventually, and a Wii on launch.

Post by **LadyTevar** » 2006-05-13 03:00pm

Wii and PS3 all the way

I'll be picking up a Wii once I can afford one, and possibly getting a PS3 if they drop the price down to an agreeable amount.

Between the price and access to Nintendo's entire catalog, there's no question: Wii. Super Mario Brothers 3, here I come.

Revolution and 350.

Dillon · Post by **Dillon** » 2006-05-13 03:27pm

Wii, at launch, and maybe one of the others, in a couple of years.

Surely you mean 360

It goes without saying that I will be getting a Wii. I was gonna get a PS3, but with this price announcement, screw em.

KhyronTheBackstabber · Post by **KhyronTheBackstabber** » 2006-05-13 03:55pm

I'm getting a Wii. Before E3, I was also going to get a PS3, but now I'm going to wait to see what else they have to offer, and decide between it, and a 360.

Bounty · Post by **Bounty** » 2006-05-13 04:00pm

Sounds like almost everyone wants to go have a Wii

I'll shut up now

McNum · Post by **McNum** » 2006-05-13 04:16pm

So far my plan is to get a Wii this year and then wait for a price drop... or three... on the PS3. I kind of want to play FFXIII and MGS4 eventually, but Smash Bros. Brawl and Twlight Princess are a lot higher on my priority list. Mmm... Online Smash Bros...

I must admit that Nintendo has really played the few cards they held after the last generation well. They practically owned this E3 from day one and out. Good for them!

There's a Super Mario 3?! Why wasn't I informed?

Vanas · Post by **Vanas** » 2006-05-13 04:29pm

I may, may, may consider buying one of the other two, if they become a) cheaper and b) smaller.

Until, then, well. 'ere Wii go, 'ere Wii go, 'ere Wii go.

Grandmaster Jogurt · Post by **Grandmaster Jogurt** » 2006-05-13 06:22pm

Well, since my brother already has a 360 and I wouldn't put it past him to buy a PS3 (he's... not good with money, sometimes), and since I've inherited every single one of his previous systems so far, I should be good on those fronts without spending anything.

I'm definitely getting a Wii, probably shortly after it launches. But I've known this long before E3.

felineki · Post by **felineki** » 2006-05-13 06:40pm

Can't say for sure yet, but the only thing that had interested me on PS3 was Gradius VI, but it's on hold now.

360 doesn;t have anything that interests me, Wii has the old games plus new Smash Bros., which is looking to be quite good, so I suppose it's the most likely for now.

...............It came out in the early 90's.......

It rocked......they recently came out with it on the Gameboy Advanced (Super Mario Advanced 4: Super Mario Brothers 3)

If you do not have it, or have yet to play it, it is now your imperative to do so.

Oh yes, I am getting a Wii, and maybe the other two, after price drops.

Stark · Post by **Stark** » 2006-05-13 07:13pm

I'll get a Nintendo on launch and maybe... MAYBE a PS3 later due to hardware and all the games I want being on that platform. 360s have zero interest for me.

So... the Nintendo is the weakest system, but the cheapest, and from this thread it's ridiculously popular. Unless the PS3-specific games are sex... I think we can say that 306 and Wii have won this round. Heh, Peugeot.

I demand you get your sarcasm-meter checked, sir. I have the game for GB Color somewhere. It will be very nice to get the Wii and all those downloads with it. You may not have backwards compatibility like the PS3, but this option is just as good.
