Well, the Revolution is pwnage for retro gamers with the backwards compatibility with the GCN and the downloadable roms. Plus the controller looks intriguing plus the usual Nintendo-owned Mario/nintendo character games awesomeness. I like it.

Ps3 and Xbox360 has too many unnecessary features (like play mp3's on the console, for fucks sake, use a stereo and you can play game at same time!) but i mainly want the ps3 for the uber graphical thingy.

Eh.

I highly doubt it'll be released with the US release of the PS3, maybe for the Pacific release of it.

EDIT: If australia doesnt ban it first...

That sounds alright, but whatever, hopefully it does get released before I blow somebody up.

Wikipedia says global release in November this year, so I can get it for Christmas!!! !OMG

I wasnt too excited about the 360 so I am here waiting on that ps3. The nintendo system sounds awesome though and if I win the lotto I might just get it.

Why would you bother with nintendo unless if you like pokemon? I got an xbox 360 and im loving it. Just wait for halo 3, then you'll see the difference between the ps3 and xbox 360.

I always buy each system because they all have trademark games. I want the revolution because nintendo are known for resident evil, and Mario. I have a 360 because of games like halo and Nights of the old Republic. And Playstation 3 because of Metal Gear Solid. They all have something special. Btw what game are you playing for the 360. I mostly play G.R.A.W, and 2K6.

The chances that ps3 won't outclass xbox360 is slim. Don't get be wrong..xbox360 is a fucking awsome console..look at it's library so far...but sony has too many great franchises to continue. Namely the grand theft auto series and the metal gear series...gimmie that instead. Mostly, i expect their graphics and hardware performance to be a little superior.

yes the ps3 will be better in extras because of the 60gb and the blue ray disc, but Graphically about the same. I like Ps3 even more than the 360 even though i have a 360 because they almost never have many consumer problems. The 360 is made to get better with time. They are making tons of ad-on's. I usually show little bias towards any of the systems because i buy them all.

PS3 has more RPG games! That's a selling point for me.

ps3 will be the better gaming system because microsoft said that they designed xbox 360 to be the ultimate entertainment system....

so for best gaming + sports(this is a sports message board) choose ps3, for watching dvds + games+ music choose xbox 360, for cheap budget+ trying something new choose revolution
