Nah, I'll probably get a PS3, it plays all the games I currently own and I don't have enough room in my bedroom to swish a control pad about.

I've pretty much made up my mind on getting the Revolution but there's still a chance for companies to change my mind come E3.

Of course, I really doubt Sony's ability to do that, and I don't think I'm the only gamer with those thoughts.

I'm going to get a Revolution only because I don't have enough semen to sell to sperm banks to afford a damned PS3. I'd pretty much have to sell my nuts.

And X-Box 360? My friends have it

I do not much see your point. It's both less expensive and better overall than crappy fighting games.

You ever seen/played Ayane in her schoolgirl outfit? Didn't think so.
There is this thing on the internet.

It is called pornography.

You do not have to pay for it.

It WAS going to be released sooner... like this spring.

It's TERRIBLE news!

I doubted it, you should have, too

Ah, you Americans have had it WAY to easy, I¡¦m more than pleased at the prospect of a simultaneous worldwide release than anything else, although 1,000,000 machines at launch doesn¡¦t seem all that much truth be told. What¡¦ll Europe get? 12?

Hmm¡K I wonder if the worldwide simultaneous release of Games will be a reality too.

Oh and as the PS3 will be backwards compatible with the entire library of the previous generations (that¡¦s ENTIRE, hear that Xbox360?), does this mean it¡¦ll have the largest launch line up in history of any console? (Apart from Revolution)

BTW did anyone read the side comment on the PSP? PSOne Emulation will be available soon ¡V FF7 on the go, Woo hoo! (Ok so technically I¡¦d need a 2Gb memory card for that, but still¡K Portable Parappa sounds good for me.) . Also Flash compatibility also means ¡§Badger Badger Badger¡¨ on the go too ƒº

What to know what's funny? Every time I click this thread, there's always "Win a Free PS3" ad at the bottom of the page.

I know someone who has a PS2 and he's complained about DVD's freezing up at times, so yes. At least with the early shipments, I don't know about more recent ones.

Then again, BluRay itself is brand new so the $900 player could be buggy as well.

Not to be trolling here, but wasn't the DVD suppport in the PS2 kind of crappy? I kept hearing bad things about it.

I hope this turns out well... And I hope it'll be better tan the 360. But I won't get it on the day it comes out, for a few reasons:
1. Very hard to get one
2. Expensive
3. Might not have any good games
4. If the hard drive thing is true
5. I'm happy with what I have right now.

Ah, shit, thanks for catching that. I meant "Just from graphics and not gameplay".

I was kind-of under the impression that good gameplay is the most important part of good gaming.

God, this whole sony situation really depresses me. I don't really like how games are becoming mainstream now, because that means that they're going to get more and more and more expensive as time goes by and the competing companies are determined to impress gamers with flashy graphics and gimmicky gameplay (case in point: Kyouji's allusion that DOA4 really is nothing more than glorified rock, paper, scissors). BluRay technology is just a small example. It's needlessly expensive, and really, how awesome can a game become from just graphics or gameplay?

If bigger really is better, explain to me why I still go back and play Kirby's Superstar or Gunstar Heroes when I'm bored.

$449 would still be pretty expensive and you can bet MS will look into some form of a price cut (even if it's only by $25) to try steal sales away. I doubt that they have Halo 3 stashed away to steal the thunder, though.

This might be taken out of context, but people are predicting the fall of Microsoft as the unbeatable monopoly giant. I heard that revenue in total is not as high as they could wish. Besides, Vista could be a total flop. Dunno about X-box 360 as I never really gave it a chanche.

IBM used to be the unbeatable giant in the past, Microsoft is the giant of today. I really hope the computer industry won't just have a single giant but having a more fair market.

That said, I'm only excited for revolution as frankly... plain graphics stopped impressing me after the PS2/Gamecube/X-box generation. If graphics is done in a way where it's intuative (like very high-res voxels graphics where everything is destroyable) then I might get impresesed.

$450 eh? Well, historically expensive systems usually have harder times to get sold than cheaper system (at least to some extent). There's a few systems who was quite before their time in terms of sheer power, but they were too expensive for most people.

Still, i'm not a stock owner in any company so why would I care how well the companies goes? None of them is going bankrupt anytime soon.
