PlayStation3

Who is getting one?

If I get one, turn it on and start to play games that resemble the likes of the E3 KillZone and MotorStorm videos, then chances are a big fat YES. Price will have to be right and of course games which no doubt it will have. But im hearing developers not favouring the PS3 platform but sounds like dejavous all over again when the PS2 was launching with its so called Emotion Engine and developers coming out with the same tails.

Jurys still out till next year for me. I think everyones still waiting for playable content and I wouldnt be too supprised if they drop something during the 360 Launch this year... I hope its a controller redesign

Its depends if the Xbox 360 jumps out at me.

So far the system hasn't so my money is on the PS3 or Revolution till prooved otherwise.

I don't know yet! It dpends if the 360 serves me what I want!

I defintely won't have the money to buy both though unless I sold my 360, which is very unlikely to happen!

It all depends on how much I like the 360 and if I need another console for games. The 360 will do everything in terms of being a media centre though so no need for a PS3 in terms of that

I think i said this to Steve on MSN, the only way i'll get an Xbox 360 is if PES comes out on it. Otherwise, it's the PS3 for me!

You can buy the normal Xbox version and it will work on 360, backwards compatability jobber

The X360 definately has the upper hand with Microsoft's software integrations. Some of the exclusives like Gears of War and PD0 look incredible, and to be honest the PS3 will not have near the online capabilities of the second generation Live. Backwards compatibility as Thornbag said is also a huge reason to get the X360... I would of course get both but my moneybag isn't really up to it.

I will definetly be getting PS3. Will be much better, and more powerful than the 360.

By this grand theme of backwards compatibility then would the Revolution not have the best?

But meh.

Well... not sure if the PS3 will be compatible with older PS1 games, if so that would probably make it superior, but why would you say the Revolution would have the best in terms of backwards compatibility? I am guessing you get the Cube's games only, so what's the catch? Depends on what games you would consider to be worthwhile to be able to play on the new system I suppose.

ATI + X360 all the way ! nVidia I just can't stand for some reason... maybe because ATI is sort of the underdog, and that they are Canadian at the same time and have better drivers.

More powerful?

Where did you get that from?

The 360 is at least 3 times more powerful than the Xbox 360 mate.

Not entirely correct:

Nintendo announced at E3 2005 that Revolution would be able to go online wirelessly and download classic Nintendo games. Nintendo has not yet announced what titles will be available for download. However, it has confirmed that Revolution owners could theoretically download every NES, Super-NES and Nintendo 64 game ever made. The publisher is reportedly already working with third party publisher to ensure that popular third party games are also available to download.

There we are, good show Benj.

Its the ultimate in backwards compatibility, any game you want.

Its the coolest idea, not suprisingly coming from Nintendo.

Theoretically.

The only game I'd consider downloading is Secret of Mana, but I have it on the PC anyway

Yeah but you are not a fan of platform games.

The deciding factor with the revolution and there history of titles is how much there going to charge you for those oldie but goodie downloads. I can see them offering some kind of deal where you pay X amount and have the ability to get so many titles in one go or over a period.

Will be interesting to see how they do it and how many of the titles are up for grabs, such as whether there just nintendo titles or third parties titles of that era too.

Yes, I get it now with the downloading of the old games... but even if you can download classics, is it really something you would be spending much time playing? I can see some games being cool for that, but you can also go out to a garage sale or your basement and pull out the old console for probably cheaper and play as well. It wouldn't really be a deciding factor to get a Revolution, because the games are so much different from the Xbox and PS.

It is a nice little bonus if you are into the Nintendo stuff, but if you aren't, it shouldn't make a difference in the world

Haha, you even know that the PS3 will be 2 times more powerful than the xbox360.

Funny. According to every single games website out there, the Xbox 360 edges it quite a bit.

I love when arguments are backed up by numbers......Pull out the numbers then you can have a clear winner, or else it borders a lawsuit of he said-she said.

Hell No, I hate Sony and Nintendo too. =)

As i'm getting a PSP and a 360, my bruvs gonna probably buy a PS3, which is great seeing he's 2 doors away from me in the house!

Actually PS3 has no nex-gen technology implemented yet...lol

All they care about are graphics....and look at GTA...looks like freaking squared up images to me
