Which will you buy?
myscrnnm
The Revolution is just a total ripoff. I would go for the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 computer entertainment system.
lappy512
I'm sticking to my computer, thanks smile.gif
myscrnnm
I expect I'll stick with the computer as well then. Somebody can change my vote or leave it as it is.

The PC is teh roxxors. You can't mod games on any console.
GameClaw_268
Well, you can, but you have to mod your console first... unless it's an Xbox... which is just a limited PC... whistle.gif

I'm buying a Rev, and if I need/want/have the money for another console, it'll be the PS3... however, it's unlikely that I'll have the money whistle.gif
qwerty
revolution sounds pretty good, you can still play old gamecube games on it..even though they changed the disk side

i would get xbox 360 for the Halo 3...bummer that it comes out after Halo2
Herloss
The revolution, most definitly. I'm saving for a cross-country trip for the summer after my senior year, so I just plain dont have to cash to invest in a second system. All my friends are XBox and PS freaks, so I'll still play them.
zombieman3421
its all about the xbox 360, (and sometimes the PS3)
the xbox is what i am getting (too bad i can't go to the midnight madness)
/\/\/\/
deffinately the revolution. all new way to play. can't wait. and, in the unlikely event i hate it, i can still play my cube games on it, and i hardly ever get tired of those. i expect i'll still play it after the rev, just like my 64 and my snes before it.
GameClaw_268
My dad wants to get us a 360 for our big-screen TV for Christmas, but with the shortages and all...

That's not gonna stop me from getting a Rev, even if I have to pay for it myself...
Abcd
teh rev sucks. serously. after nintendo basically dissed themselvs by giving out teh Gamecube, there's no way their gonna gain their rep again my making teh rev. they just name it teh rev and say "ooh, ooh, its a...REVOLUTION!" but seriously teh PS2 is much better. in gameplay and quality.

Exactly. Good old reliable brands like Microsoft, Sony, and Atari. I mean, I'm not all that obsessed with the Xbox, but I have to admit, the Xbox 360 is a helluva good product. Not to mention it's way too underrated.
Herloss
Underratted??? Microsoft said that there werent going to be as many available as they thought, and there were people lined up an entire city block in front of Best Buy!! It's NOT underrated.

The Xbox 360 is indeed underrated because there have been many people complaining about the $399 price, which I find to be more than reasonable for such a powerful machine.
GameClaw_268
It's actually overrated, since most people are saying "It's the best thing ever" when they don't even have one. For a computer that good, $399 would be absurdly cheap, however, this is the console market, and in the world of consoles, $399 is absurdly expensive. If only GFX card and Processor companies sold like the Console market rolleyes.gif

And myscrnnm, you have called EVERY console that isn't made by Nintendo underrated. So you're "rating opinion" doesn't really count for much.

you obviously know absolutly nothing about the revoution. it IS a revolution. if it wasn't, somebody would've already made it by now. besides, the ps3 is just like a ps2 on roids...

as I said, MS seems to be out of the race, and sony's might overheat too, being too small, and fast.

Revolution isn't trying to overkill their processing speed; hopefully it won't die either; otherwise everyone will be computer-gaming biggrin.gif
/\/\/\/
nah, i'll still be playing my past consoles. or my hand-helds, they haven't died... and although i have plenty of fun games no doubt i'll get tired of them sooner or later...

look, it is glitchy cause they rushed to get as many as they could out at first, and do you know why now microsoft isn't sending a new shipment in 1 week, but 2 weeks because they want to make sure that it dosen't have those glitches that people are complaining about, so just cool your horses
Beside, you couldn't get it for another couple of weeks, ok.

The XBOX is underrated? My brother has a friend that ditched school for the day and waited in line for literally hours to get one at our local Wal-Mart. He ended up being third in line.

(Added the quote, to not become confused)

i didn't say the xbox was underrated, i was trying to defend it when lappy512 said it was out of the race, i was trying to say that they are trying to fix the glitches people are complaining about so it would be better, ok

I was speaking to myscrnnm (or whoever said it was underrated).

Wrong. The Revolution is not a revolution. You want a revolution, look at the Xbox 360. It is more subtle than the Revolution. With the name 360, it alludes to a revolution, but doesn't just outright shout it. It just goes to show that the people over at Microsoft are more creative than the nerds at Nintendo. Also, stop calling the Playstation 3 computer entertainment system and the Playstation2 computer entertainment system the ps3 and ps2, it is just immature and plain rude. I show you respect by spelling out Revolution and capitolizing the R, so I expect to see you show me some level of respect. Also, the Playstation 3 computer entertainment system is not a mere Playstation 2 computer entertainment system on "roids". The Playstation 3 computer enteratainment system expands upon expansion. First, the Playstation 2 computer entertainment system could already accept standard peripherals via the two USB ports and expansion bay. The Playstation 3 computer entertainment system takes it two steps further by adding four more USB ports, and implementing a standard 2.5" drive bay. This allows users to use existing hard drives ranging anywhere from 20 to as many as 120-gigabytes upon purchase. And with Bluetooth technology, the wireless controllers will have better range, as well as more reliable connectivity. It also uses next-generation Blu-ray disc media, the only one of the next-generation gaming platforms to do so. Microsoft is still using DVD, and Nintendo is just beginning to use discs with standard DVD capacity. Also, Nintendo's media is still proprietary. The Playstation 3 computer entertainment system also features the Cell processor, which does more than twice as many floating point calculations per second as the Xbox 360's PowerPC processor. The Playstation 3 computer entertainment system is also sleeker than the Nintendo Revolution. With that sexy exterior, it makes the Revolution look even more like a baby's toy. The Playstation 3 computer entertainment system will be something that users will want to have displayed, unlike the Revolution, which is more suitable to be hidden in a trash can under a desk and such. Also, despite using the all-new Blu-ray disc media, the Playstation 3 computer entertainment system can connect with the Playstation Portable mobile entertainment system. With all these features, the Playstation 3 computer entertainment system isn't some mere computer "on roids", it is a gaming platform that is ready to charge into the 21st century of gaming, and do it with a vengeance.

-EDIT-

Not to mention with style and grace too.

I will probably get the PS3 when i can get enough money, and after it isn't a huge rush for it

I doubt there will be a rush for it though, what with all these despicable Nintendo fanboys. Do you also have an Xbox 360?
zombieman3421
no, and i won't be able to get one for a while

I'm going to wait for the price to drop. I already believe the price to be phenomonal, but I just can't afford to spend so much on a new gaming platform right now.

I am looking forward to the release of the PS3, it should be interesting smile.gif.

And it looks like you don't see the value, since you believe that the price is "phenomonal"?
zombieman3421
well, all i know is that the 360 and PS3 are already going to be hits, but i am not sure about the revolution
serebii
So now the 360 is out............................................ I'm waiting for the PS3. It looks alot better than the 360!


(Kinda odd, since my Dad works for microsoft) wacko.gif ph34r.gif bonk.gif
zombieman3421
looks can always be deciving

serebii
Ya, but Sony will ALWAYS make better systems/games. Likewise, Microsoft will always make better graphics. ph34r.gif
