Ps3: $499/$599

[Grasshopper]

Well, I'm watching the press conference now...and its starting off very "statisticial"...just like last year.

Nintendo is just an hour away.

600 bucks. Thats fucking retarded. But you know all the spoiled 12 year olds will still cry their parents into buying them one so Sony can do whatever they want.

Am I the only one that doesn't really care so long as it offers significantly better titles than the Xbox 360? If it can pull off better graphics and better gameplay, I'd be willing to pay for it. My problem with the Xbox 360 is that it doesn't really seem all that next generation. PS3 may seem more like such. I did see some shots of that FF game and was quite pleased. It looked better than what I'd seen of perfect dark zero.

I'm certainly not a Sony fanboy, infact I think they did a horrible job with both PSX and PS2. Both had major design flaws in my opinion. And they have horrible policys. But given the choice, even if the PS3 costs 200$ more than the Xbox 360, I'll buy it if it can do more, and has games I want. Really, it's nothing new, I've spent thousands on computer technology. Sure it costs more than last time, and it sucks.

The Nintendo Wii ofcourse is much more affordable and sounds to have lots of potential. Which leaves the Xbox 360 as having nothing all that special to offer. And ya I agree the PS3 controller having motion sensors being a lame rip off.

Also a thing about the high price, maybe that'll make it easier for those that actually want it to get it. Sadly not even the PS2's 300$ price tag stopped people from eating them all up. However, 600$, that's a nice step up.

More and more the next gen consoles are starting to look less desireable. So fo the only thing I'm considering getting is the Wii for the back wards compatibility. But im not 100% on that. For now, I'll just stick to my PC.

[MottZilla]

The Wii has more to offer than the Virtual Console. If that's all you care about, just use your PC for that. The Wii has that unique play control to offer. That is the reason to buy it, that and if you love certain Nintendo series.

I wish these consoles would just die already. They are an outdated method of media delivery now that we have powerful PCs. All games should be made for the PC. The computer should be the one device that does everything and anything.

I just can't see mario on a computer. Or any of nintendos characters for that matter.

Nintendo and sony would never let anything they own go on a PC if they were smart. Mircrosoft already owns 95% of that market. Industry thrieves off competition. Putting everything on PC would kill the industry of gaming.

I will say that it's far less money and hassle to keep a console updated to play the latest games than it is for a computer. I'd rather pay out $200-$300 every few years for a new console than to spend hundreds on more RAM, hard drive space, replacing the motherboard, processor, video card, etc. And you never have to worry about things like hardware requirements with consoles.

That's the problem. The PS3 library is abysmal so far. There's Final Fantasy, and there's Metal Gear Solid, but if you think that is worth SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS for TWO games and a console that can barely do anything else, you're absolutely fucking nuts.

If you're refering to things like what the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 are going after, then fuck yeah, I'd just rather all those games come out on PC.

[Darth Marsden]

$499? That's like £400. Fuck that. Gimme a Revolution already. Yeah, that's right - I'm still refusing to call it a Wii. Dear God I hope they change the name back at E3.

And can somebody confirm or deny that the Revolution and the PS3 will be coming out within a week of each other? I don't normally trust what The Sun says, but that does sound scarily accurate...
