I am looking forward to the 360.. I have not seen all that much stuff on the ps3.. kinda of a suprise considering it is sony.. and they always have huge launches for their products.

Yea but the 360 is due out this november and PS3 due out sometime next year so Sony's not getting in a hurry. Saints Row for the 360 looks tight but I will wait to see what the PS3 lanches with, if it launches with socom 4 im there.

PS3 all the way, i just cant stand xbox lol

I would love to meet bill gates and tell him how much microsoft sucks ;)

I hate it when people say idiotic comments like you just did, if it wasn't for Bill Gates we would still be using some 8 bit mediocre GUI, don't get me started on how inflentual Bill Gates was.

ahh and I'm getting all three in this order

1. Nintendo Revolution (loved nintendo since i was 6)

2. PS3 (Final Fantasy and GTA, need i say more?)

3. XBOX360 (I'm a trendwhore :lol:)

Im going with the 360 as of now, but after seeing some of the PS3 demos it looks good too.  There's no way I'm gonna buy both, so it's gonna be a tough choice.  I have an xbox and its been great, to say the least.  Ive played PS2 a lot, but the graphics and speed are nowhere near the xbox's.  I think the 360 will probably be more easy to use and will clearly be the leader when it comes to online play (like it is now).  Plus it will be very easy to add the 360 to your home network if your running XP or Mediacenter 2005.  But again, it will be a tough choice between the two. 

**Update**

I just found this article from IGN that did a spec by spec comparison of the PS3 and X360.  It may cause those of you leaning towards the PS3 to think twice :D  http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/617/617951p1.html

we all know that atleast the top systems are PS and X BOX I have both but i play PS2 instead' my brother plays X Box and the Nintendo Cube is just collecting dust' as for future systems Both Sony and Microsoft will rock' Nintendo will be ok but will make about 500 games and about 20 good ones just like the Cube did' Nintendo should just follow the Sega steps and step down'

Word is that the PS3 demo/trailers were enhanced to look better than what they really are. All those cell processors aren't going to improve anything.

The Xbox 360's processor has more than enough power to operate any game flawlessly.

I don't think the PS3 will up to expectations.  :-|

ajb62787 that killzone clip was pre-rendered, as in that wasnt run on a ps3, they wont be nearly that good looking.

:lol: apparently you havent seen the real time MGS4 video. Makes Killzone pre rendered look bad.

http://www.ps3today.com/Blogs/News/hqs/blr_537.aspx <--- makes all other games look pretty unimpressive.

http://www.ps3today.com/Blogs/News/hqs/blr_589.aspx <--- In this article Kojima talks about making the trailer and states it was all made on a "early dev kit for PS3" Wow.

BTW for all the XBOX lovers, check out Saints Row that game looks spectacular.

Cant buy whats not for sale. Looks to me like some of your insults should be aimed inwards.

I hope you read the last sentence of this article. Thats Microsofts annalysis. :lol: I think that might lead to a slightly skewed point of view. I will get both systems but to me the PS3's demos look amazing and they havent even released the final hardware to software developers yet.

I will get the new Nintendo wen it comes out!..... I think and almost know that the ps3 will be more popular because it has more titles (even if they are worthless)! Xbox will be coming of age and getting better but does uncle bill need any more money?

Nintendo is more for the family guy!! Plus I love Mario games (so do my kids)

Just my opinion :D

Well the hardware was given to IGN by both MS and Sony and IGN did the comparisons, not MS.  And the numbers (like total system memory etc.) don't lie.
