if you buy a ps3, you can contribute to the downfall of sony. the bluray drive costs sony almost as much as they're selling the whole damn box for

Dobs-
The 360 has an annual $50 Live fee, but you do get vouchers inside of games.
The PS3 has a free online set up, but the down side is that it's not going to be Sony developing it. Kind of like a website who's forum is the stock PHP build you see all over the place.
I'm biased, but a big gamer. I wish PS3 had more potential.

I was always a PS2 fan, but I quickly converted to the XBOX360. After a 3 month trial of XBOX Live I paid $20 for 3 months...but one of the techs on the phone told me that you can just keep changing your username and setting up free trials, FYI.
What kind of games are you into?

Blu-Ray is a total joke.

(Oct 18 06, 15:10)All the sports games, racing games, and shooter games. Not so much RPG though.
Plus I'm not a huge gamer so I wouldn't be online all that much, except maybe to beat my brother's ass in madden.
I just need something that's gonna look good on HD, has all the main titles, and I can go online a lil bit. And that's cheaper......
so Xbox it is.

I'm not buying either until next year when they have a large game library.

(Oct 19 06, 06:43)I'm the same. I'm all about the sports games (usually EA titles) and I beat up on my roommate and brother when they're around. Pick up Madden of course, and I'm actually a fan of NBA Live (although the reviews aren't so great) but the graphics are stellar and the ESPN integration is awesome. Fight Night might be some of the best graphics I've seen, and NHL 07 is sick too.
Looks great on an HD. And make sure you're hooked up to the internet so you can use XBOX Live to download extras (like the LA Coliseum and old Seattle stadium in Madden).

the wii has the same inside parts as a gamecube though. you can buy a game cube for 75 bucks.

dobs:
The GameCube has a single-threaded PowerPC processor running at 485 MHZ. The Wii's processor, running at 729MHz, will be faster.
The GameCube has 24 MB of RAM. The Wii will have 88 MB of RAM.
The graphics card in the GameCube runs at 162 MHZ. In the Revolution it runs at 243 MHZ.
The GameCube is able to paint about 20 million polygons per second.
The Wii will be able to create many more per second and they will be realistically shaded.
The Wii will also use completely redesigned wireless game controllers.

I read an article the other day that said it had the same parts, must have been bullshit.

where I got it from...

I own a 360 and love it.. I plan on getting the wii (mostly for zelda).. None of the PS3 games interest me as of yet and I hate the controller (yes, I've played it).. I plan on getting the HD-DVD player for the 360- I've got a 1080p set to make uses of.. I may get a PS3 down the line if they drop in price significantly.. There aren't many reasons for me to get one right now.

with the streaming capabilities of both the ps3 and the 360, is hard drive size really going to be that important?

PS3 is gonna flop so hard and here's why:
- Only 400,000 units will be available in North America on launch
- Delayed European launch - March 2007
- $600 USD is way too much money to throw for a gaming console for most people.
- PS3's online won't be as good as XBOX Live.
- WTF was Sony thinking with this ad?I'd say wait till next year to buy it, because neither console will have that many good games this year...
There are some great PS2 games coming out this year though...
Bully from Rockstar Games as an example - http://www.rockstargames.com/bul…

I'm totally happy with my 360, but this is the only reason I want a PS3.

Anyone know if it'll be on 360?
