PS3 vs. XBOX360

which are you going to buy first and why?

im gonna wait for the ps3 to come out myself, only cause it is going to have a bad ass nvidia card like twice as fast as the new 7800gtx, which is like the best video card for the computer that they make. once you put a hd on there its supposed to be just a super fast pc basically. gonna be sweet. ill prolly end up gettin xbox360 though, cause its gonna let the psp interface with it, and how freakin sweet will that be?

360 because it' s going to be out first.

Then i' ll buy the Revolution because (based on some speculation I heard) it' s going to be second.

Then the PS3 simply because it will more than likely be the last console released this gen.

I.E. I' m buying them in order of release.

i dig, but im still in school so im on a fixed income, so i have to pick and choose in order of priority, which is hard. who knows though, i might break down and buy the xbox360 first, cause youre right, it comes first. and i dont know if i can wait until march for ps3.

and i dont know if i can wait until march for ps3.

I' m like Lotusson. I' ll be getting all three when they hit the market, but my most anticipated console is the Xbox 360!

From the general speculation that' s floating around, the PS3 will probably be available LATE 2006. Some sources even say that it could be pushed back to 2007!

The PSP interface is just for downloading/uploading music, so I don' t think it' s that big a deal.

So J_Dizzle, which system(s) do you have now?

gamecube, ps2, a broken ps2, xbox, psp, and a wicked old 1st gen gameboy. and virtual boy, only thats broken to. i dont think nintendo is doing anything thats any good anymore. dont get me wrong, they were kings in there day, but its about time to throw in the towel. what systems do YOU have?

Xbox, PS2, Gamecube, GBA, and Nintendo 64. The Xbox gets most of the love, though right now I' m addicted to FFX on the PS2.

every copy i bought ended up messing up during the fight with sin. could be that i never shut it off as long as i had it. i played that game a lot. than bought it again, and played it again. than messed up blockebusters copy, but told them it came like that. i had bad luck with that game. but i did win the first blitzball game, and i dont know anyone else who did.

Boooooo to PS3! Shame on you Sony, trying to cheat us with that mess...

My vote (by default) goes to the Xbox 360, but it does just plain rule. Except for the price tag, in which I might not buy one anytime soon.. Heh, thinking about price, PS3 would' ve been the first on my list eliminated anyway..

My vote goes to ' other' , ie: Revolution, because it' ll be the only system a human being can afford, and hey, I love me some Mario..

Sony' s an imitator."

Yet, for some reason, it' s Sony that gets all the credit.

seriously, revolution first? thats crazy. nintendo is like a distant 3rd in this race. they are so far behind, its like a whole new race. plus, for all the stuff you can do, id say the price for both xbox360 and ps3 seem entirly reasonable. especially considering that ps3 has a graphics chip twice as good as any available for pc and the whole system will cost less than one of the pc chips.

I don' t give a flyiing Melinda about a graphics chip

All I want is to play some fun games at a price point I can AFFORD, and right now, I believe Nintendo' s the only one that' ll provide that for me. I' m not shelling out 400-500 dollars for a system just because the games look a little shinier on the screen. And I don' t care about all those extra features, like the DVD and the Media Center; I can get my own damn DVD player. I want a system that provides me with FUN. I don' t care about 360' s launch titles. And if I' m not interested in 360 anymore, then I' m definately not interested in PS3, because they' re the same thing. Revolution will make me reminisce with retro games, provide me with revolutionary interaction in games, great multiplayer, and great graphics in a sleek and (supposedly) affordable package, so that does it for me.

your old school. its all about the new. its not where we came from bro, its where we are going.

Then I' m not going anywhere...

what good can nintendo hope for being stuck in the past? remember the good ol days. well i dont.

Yep, it' s gonna be one hell of a card. The 360 card is apparently more powerful though.

seriously. whats it runnin? i havent really looked into it as much as the ps3

It' s a custom ATi card cald Xenos I believe. It' s the first card to integrate ram directly on to the card. this allows 4x anti-aliasing, poly shaders, and pixel shaders without drawing off of any other hardware which greatly increases system performance.

damn, bill gates is one ice cold dude. maybe xbox 360 has some balls yet. i was a little bit concerned though, when i saw it crash on tv. but oh how i laughed.

The Xenos also has Unified Shader Architecture. Potentially this is its biggest trump card. It will allow it to bypass the pixel and vertex shader bottlenecks that happen on pretty much every other graphics card in existance. Cool stuff.

I think I read Nintendo and multiplayer in the same sentence above...good stuff that...

Anyways, I' m still picking up the 360 because of it' s multiplayer, which I' m gonna go out on a limb and say it' ll be better than Nintendo' s. The new sub-genres coming to multiplayer on 360 are going to be wicked methinks. I know a lot of you here like side scrollers, etc, etc, and will probably say how boring the FPS genre is blah, blah, blah. I like them, millions of people like them, and hopefully 360 will have plenty of them.

dude though, ps3 will be able to have seven players. i know xbox360 is supposed to have like 8-16, but im still happy to know that ps3 is still in this. and FPS are pretty great.

Dude I know...those 4 on 3 match ups are gonna be sweet!

Honestly...why the hell would you make a console that supported just 7 players? Why not just go all out and make it an 8 slot. That' s just something I' ll never understand...

Can' t wait to see a game split up into more than 4 screens. People already complain about split screen being to small, now it' s gonna take a freakin magnifying glass to see what' s goin on.

That' s Because there isn' t a true gamer on this planet that has more than 7 friends. Sony knows that.

Sweet! that makes me a true gamer! I only have like 6 friends! One of them happens to live in my head so we normally share a screen.

if you had seven friends, then wouldnt you need 8 slots anyways? plus you will prolly(or at least hopefully) be able to link systems. and dude, THAT would be sweet as hell. and dude, i have more than seven friends. i have about 8 or 9, if i count myself. im my own best friend.

and of course i do count myself.

Then you are a casual gamer J_Dizzle fo_shizzle

Terry Bogard - currently the most Unhelpful member of the Kikizo forums.

i take a wicked ammount of offense to that. im not a casual gamer. im hardcore. hardcore to the max. if you mix video games with " other" stuff than other people come over. there are things you can do while playing that make you a rather popular fella.

Doesn' t matter what you do. Hardcore gamers have no more than 7 friends. If you gain an additional friend it automatically makes you a casual gamer. If you lose one of those friends you automatically revert back to being a hardcore gamer. It' s all very elementary

Terry Bogard - currently the most Unhelpful member of the Kikizo forums.

i suppose for the sake of the title i gotta lose some friends. sorry to my friends who dont matter anymore. terry says i gotta.

Yep, get rid of some of those friends of yours, preferably the ones that never bring any new or cool games over to your house, trim that number down to 7 and you' ll be hardcore again!!!!1!

Terry Bogard - currently the most Unhelpful member of the Kikizo forums.

the hard hardcore only has three friends. One extra friend for each controller slot.

the hard hard hardcore only has one extra friend. because consoles used to come with only two controller slots.

if you had seven friends, then wouldnt you need 8 slots anyways?

Nope, 7 slots, cause you always need one friend to remain free so he or she can go get your drinks for ya

Terry Bogard - currently the most Unhelpful member of the Kikizo forums.

nice, i forgot about THAT guy. go get my drink that guy.

F that! I' m my only friend. I play with myself! Wait...
