All Halo 3 will be in my mind is updated graphics considering the system its on. That and maybe another weapon.

But I'd rather not wait untill 2010 to play it. (Yes I know they pushed it up to be released in 2007 but seriously... Do you honestly believe that?)

Just not worth it in my mind to pay over 500 bucks for a system where the only game I'd most likely play would be Oblivion =/ I'd rather just save an extra 200 for a system I know I would play.

You're forgetting one thing. Halo 3 also has STORY. I think a lot of people are forgetting about that.

Personally I'd go with the Wii.

If I could, I'd get a Wii just to play with the controller. All the videos of people using the controller look like fun.

Well, I just got a 360. I don't know much about the other consoles, but I just received my 360 as a gift, so I can't complain! :)

I have to say that Gears of War looks good. The graphics and environments for one look amazing!

Though, from he reviews I've read, the gameplay is rotten, the story and dialogue are stale, and the multiplayer is 4 v 4 on miniscule maps.

Saying that, it ain't half gory, and the "take cover" tactic is pretty interesting.

I love gears of war... I just like third person shooters though. Friend has it so I havnt been on live.. Just 2v2 split screen.

Do you like it JUST because you like TPS (sounds like some kind of bleach...) or is it elements of the game you like?

I've got a friend who ordered it last night. Chances are I'll be able to go over to his and play it sometime, just to see what it's like.

Luckily he lives about a minute away from school - so should we both have a free at the same time, or at lunch, I might be able to go down to his house and play for an hour.

I would love to get a Wii and a PS3. But I have to wait until I have enough money and until any and all known bugs/glitches are fixed.

Ditto. Cheap, decent games, cheap.

I read an article on g4 about amazon.com possibly putting up 100 dollar xbox 360's. Don't know if its true or not, nor do I care to check, but if it is I'd buy one.

Dont be a baby about the wii controller set up just because its something different. Yeah it might take some getting use to but it has the potential to be extremely fun. A very weak reason behind disliking the Wii. It looks like a very good buy for the amount of money you have to spend. Playstation 3 IS expensive but if you actually knew what kind of hardware they put into that bad boy you would see the reasoning behind that price.

I use to be a sony lover, had a ps1 since I can't remember (doubt it was at launch tho) and ps2 since it launched. Now I own 360 and love it. Like I said I sold my pos ps3 cause it sucks... the 360 has WAY more features than ps3.
The Wii is friggen AMAZING I want one so bad. Everyone that I've talked to gives it shit (the controller sucks)... The people that say this are lazy I think. Moving around and shit with the Wii will help the kids that are going to start console gaming so that they don't turn out to be fattys like 90% of zel =\

The 360 only has "WAY more features" than the PS3 because the 360s been out for over a year.

Go back to the 360 launch, and you wouldn't have seen half of the features it has now, then.

Give it a year or so, and Sony will have released a few hundred firmware updates and fixed all the problems with the software, as well as added in all the features people take for granted with the 360.

The people who whine about the wii controller probably haven't played it used it. They are just judging a book by its cover.

More time to work on Hardware.

Sony are primarily a hardware company. Microsoft are software.

Three days after the 360 launch people were baying for MS' blood because of hardware problems - not a single software problem in sight.

We're now about two weeks after the PS3 launch. The only problems Sony have had are software problems - mostly to do with compatibility issues with about 200 games (sound won't play), and downscaling issues on old HDTVs that don't support 720p. I know that a patch is already in the works to solve both of these problems.

If i had enuf money, I'd buy a ps3. XBox always has stupid rip offs of pc games (Counter Strike) and Halo as well as a bunch of dumb sportsy games. My friend bought a Wii and brought it over during a lan party. It was alright. I'd love to play the new zelda game, twilight princess, but I dunno if it's gunna be any good with the weird remote. My lil bro might be gettin a Wii so I'll just play with his ^.^
I never asked for any of the consoles for christmas or anything. I prefer pc games myself. Although, I hate the constant upgrades you have to make to ur pc to keep up with the good games >.<

I've just been nattering with someone about XBL, and he's pissed off about the Demos being only available to those with paid accounts.

And he's pissed off with MS milking customers for every penny they've got.

And so on and so forth.

And I was just reading a quaint little article about Nintendo being sued over the Wiimote by a Californian company who had patented a shockingly similar idea over a year ago.

Of course everyone from France sucks. They're French. It goes without saying.

And he can't afford a paid XBL account yet. He spent all his money on the 360, some games and a HDTV monitor dealy.

And they're Demos for Pete's sake! Why do you need to pay for a demo? That's what the internet is for - free demos.

You can get them all free on the PS3 network, so why not on XBL?
