There's far better music players out there than Zune and after reading up on it... it doesn't seem like the type of player for me. I mean, if all you want is to just play music on it and if the battery life's good, then that's fine.

I just wouldn't buy a brand new first-gen anything.

Same here, I normally never buy something 1st Gen, but I'd figure if I do have problems with it, at least I bought it at the place I work at.

And I only want it for music, so its perfect for me. I might end up putting TV shows on it, but that won't happen until I get the XB360.

...eh there's alot better music players that is also cheaper than the Zune. Zune is a major failure according to reviews I read, and it seems to be a really restricted thing.

Also, it would be interesting if a recount was done after Christmas and see how the results would differ.

I have no idea what you are talking about. This is the 1st I've heard about a recall.

Of course, stuff like this is bound to pop up, like the Ps3 blowing up (and the Xbox, and the Xbox360...and so on).

Honestly, the only music players that I know of have the iPod and the Zune (and some cheap ones out there), so yea.

(And I thought I had a grudge against Microsoft! Well, not anymore obviously).

PS3 is too much money (relatively speaking) that I can't justify spending when nothing on it looks good to me. I can't stand the boredom of Metal Gear Solid and am not a fan of Gran Turismo...so the wonders of the PS3 are lost on me.

My x360 on the other hand seems to only be about online gaming...however that will change next year with Bioshock, GTA4, Resident Evil 5....I do love my copy of Dead Rising though.

The Wii will have Metroid Prime 3, Smash Bros Brawl, Mario Galaxy and Wario Ware so I'm pretty sorted for entertainment over the coming year.

But knowing my stance on consoles I'll probably buy the PS3 if I have the money to waste and theres at least one game that looks good to me.

I choose the Wii. The Xbox 360 never really appeals to me well, and the price tag (+ the games) for the PS3 is too much for me. Aside from all of that, the Wii is innovative, revolutionary, and there are some games I want. :3

I already got one but, Wii. 360 is my second choice. PS3 is too expensive, and currently the games aren't put to full use. If I'm getting a PS3 then it's probably for MGS4.

Wii all the way. I don't find PS3 or 360 games very appealing, for some reason. Apparently GameFAQs isn't the only board with Nintendo bias...

Probably because both boards have players who grew up using Nintendo systems.

I choose the Wii cuz it has all these titles that we know and love comin up and it has a decent way of gameplay its more interactive the only thing ill have trouble with it is trying to keep my eye on the game and the controller.

The PS3 is waaaay to expensive for me plus my dads gettin it himself anyways

The Xbox 360 is pretty much a repeat of the PS3 they are similar in many ways plus I got a bud who just won the UK version of the Xbox 360 hehe...

I know this might seem an absurd question, but does anyone have anything to say about the Play Station 3 that isn't around the lines of "sucks" or "awesome"? Does anyone here even have a PS3 and like it? I don't have any of the three, but the main things I can see that are against the PS3 might be high prices, too few good games, and a pervading distaste for Sony. There hasn't been much said about the actual system discussed here. I don't know much at all about the PS3 firsthand, except I thought the graphics were top-notch, and that it's the only one that has been mentioned in IEEE Spectrum for its capabilities.

I don't have a PS3, but I've played around with one.

The main problems, as you said, are the high price/few games/distaste for sony(which is easily understandable after their little stunts).

It isn't too bad, but, there's not many games that stand out yet. There's resistance, then......

Nothing that you couldn't be able to play just as well(if not better), with a 360, for at least $200 USD less.

As far as graphics go, gamespot did a graphics comparison between both systems. I personally don't believe the cell's "awesome power" will really be tapped by developers, when they haven't truly utilized Multi-core processors.

But it still has some stuff going for it, right?

MGS4, and um...

At EB Games a while ago I saw a PS3 demo hooked up to a hi-definition TV showing its capabilities. One demonstration was a comparison of a Blu-ray movie versus a DVD. I shit you not they were identical. I also liked the bit on Cell, which showed blue lights (electrical pulses I suppose) flying around a circuit board. Then they added a bunch more to show how Cell can do more things at once. However, all the pulses were just moving in very small circles. Cell: Does nothing 8 times faster!

What I've been reading is not that it's bad, but that the Cell processor it uses doesn't use the traditional sort of processing, and needs to be adjusted to in a different way. But here's the article:
