    Do you work at the Richfeild one? Any clue how many Premium systems you're getting. I'm debating if I should wait in line at midnight or not.

    i am torn becuase the xbox has some decent games like perfect dark, and hopefully halo 3, but at the same time PS3 has gran turismo and the final fantasy series.

    i am not up on the hardware aspect of it, but i know the PS3 is using blue ray, and has alot more graphic processing power.

    So basically its a heavy, slow, memory card.

    oh and I will probably buy both. I'm hoping for a quickly modified xbox 360 though.

    modchip. Just want it to run unsigned code.

    It probably wont take a chip this time... you can plug wayy to many things into it to keep it secure.

    did some reading on the release games. there is an STi in the new need for speed 360 game. i wonder how it will keep up with the other super cars in teh game (M3 GTR, Mercdes McLaren, Lotus Elise, Vauxhall Monaro, Ect...) it also looks like Master Chief will be making an appearance in DOA4.

    i also fond this out. planned for a mid 2007 release is the Halo movie. its being produced by Fox and Universal. get this the director is none other then Peter Jackson! with his guidance it will be hard for the game to flop (still possible but less likely). supposedly (RUMORS!!!!) the movie will focus ont he ending of the Halo: Fall of Reach book and continue throught he first Halo game.

    PS3 has Resident Evil 5, Sonic the Hedgehog, Metal Gear 4, and of course GT Visions.

    I think you've mixed up NFS with PGR3. PGR3 doesnt have a car that does under 170mph stock.

    I would go with xbox 360, im not a huge gamer so i wont be purchasing either of these, but i enjoy halo a ton and would be worth halo 3 when it comes out next year. As far as i have heard, the PS3 wont be released until next year. the same time halo 3 comes out...

    Depends. The nice thing about a console is that the game you buy for it is guranteed to run perfectly. There are no meeting minimum requirements... and everyone you play online has the same system so no one would have a hardware advantage.

    But there are definitly some better games made for PC than the consoles.

    What they need to have is a keyboard mouse set up for the console games. You cant perform half of the maneuvers on the stinking joystick. I think Gamecast had a keyboard, I thought someone told me that xbox did too but I've never seen one.


    .....yeah i know its dreamcast...

    the PC will always be the ultimate gaming machine, just because ther contorl interfaces are so interchangeable and custimizeable. also the PC will always have better performance due to upradeable parts.

    but you cant play Gran Turismo on PC

    depends on nothing, consoles have never caused even the tiniest amount of interest or urge to purchase for me. ever.

    also i think the old xbox controller was hands down the clunkiest and most uncomfortable input device in the history of this or any other universe.

    Consoles are good for casual gaming. Keyboard and mouse is hands down the best for FPS but I'd rather use pads for most other games.

    Yeah, I was referring to the FPS for the keyboard/mouse use.
    You cant beat the logitech force feedback wheel setup with the LCD projector for GTx.

    Speaking of wheels for racing games, I hope the xbox 360 will work with the logitech FF wheels. That xbox racing wheel was garbage.

    there is no real reason, regular x box is better then ps2, but that doesnt stop people from loving ps2 more then x box...i know i'll buy a ps3 eventually, not because its better, but because playstations in general 0WN x box :D

    I cant believe Xbox 360's are going for over 1500.00 bucks on ebay right now. Im so pre-ordering about 3-4 PS3's before they come out so I can make a grip of cash on ebay.

    PS3 -> Wins the harware war, hands down! The only reason to buy a 360 is if one likes the games better.... and some do. I happen to prefer the PS games so that makes for a no-brainer decision.

    The only way the 360 had a chance was to be out before Xmas. Sales will plummet dramatically next spring....

    As I've heard per the news: XBOX 360 = Error messages. You can write to Microsoft to thank them for their hard work.

    OMFG! Some of my most favorite games were from the TurboGraphics/TurboExpress!
    Y's Books 1 & 2
    Alien Crush
    Lords of Thunder
    Bonk's 1 & 2

    And with the power of three 3+GHz processors running in parallel PLUS a graphics processor at their disposal, you'd think someone would be able to come up with a game that's more fun than Bomberman'93...

    It's just sad.

    I thought the original Xbox was a lame system, but now that the new one is out my opinion has done a 360.
