As for me, I am unsure...

I want to wait, but I have been a part of several console launches that were totally awesome experiences.

I was there for the launch of the following consoles:

Sega Saturn
Sega Dreamcast
XBOX

And with the new M$ console expected to be an all-around entertainment system, I would very much like to be able to say that I was there when it first happened.

What about you? Are you going to jump to next-gen right away?

Most likly ...if not then very shortly afterwords.

Not this year, for sure. Even if all 3 systems were released this year I' d have to say no. Next year may also be doubtful with a baby on the way and all this other grown up crap responsibilities in the way. Ahhhhh MassX, it' s going to be a tough day for you when chickipoo says " It' s either the X-box 360, or a wedding cake!" good luck!

As soon as the Xbox 60 is availible for preorder I will be puttin my money down.

I' ll be jumping ASAP!

In fact let me start saving up for all three RIGHT NOW!!

I' ll be getting my new Xbox at launch this year. Consoles after that, I don' t know. Of course I said the same thing about PS2 when it launched and I ended up getting both Xbox and GC. Definately the Xbox though...Xbox Live is going to be too good to pass up.

I' ll definitely let Sony work out the flaws and bugs that will absolutely positively definitely be in the first batch of PS3' s. Sony hates making reliable hardware until they are forced to. Did you see how moronicly they handled the PSP design flaws? Horrible people run that company.

As for the Xbox932 and the Revolution, I will buy them when there are games I want to play on them. I don' t care about football games or even FPS' s.

I love football, baseball and basketball.

Unless Microsoft screws up and forces EA to make all their athletes in videogames wear neon pink tutu' s, I' ll end up buying a Xbox Pro Skater 360: Viva La Bam! Edition.

Nintendo and Sony will have to wait to drop the prices on their units to get my money. But it probably won' t take long with three viable competitors in the marketplace, assuming that Nintendo' s " Revolution" isn' t so abstract that it' s still viewable in the third dimension.

My Easter bonus is in the bank, the letters " P-S-P" stamped all over it. Similarly, my X-mas bonus will get me an xbox 2, if everything goes as planned.

What other bonuses are you expecting? Please provide a more comprehensive listing along with what will be stamped all over each of them!

I recently got $75 for about 15 minutes worth of work duplicating a training video DVD. Maybe that can pay for the Xbox360 and a few games.

I would like there to be enough good games for each new system that I want to purchase each at launch and pay EB' s extortion-rate price and be forced to buy 9 games and a whole bunch of 3rd party crap and strategy guides (EB' s condition on getting day 1 systems).

EB is gone though so it really won' t matter. It' s all gamestop now.

Well, people call them " bonuses" but they' re actually compulsory for the employer. As part of your yearly salary in Greece, you get an extra half a month' s pay before the Easter holiday, another half month' s pay before you take your summer leave and another full month' s pay in Christmas. Given that my regular salary is barely sufficient to cover my living expenses, in order to make superfluous purchases I have to allocate them to my yearly bonuses. I hope this satisfies your curiosity.

Isn' t easy money great! I just made 200 bucks for administering a board exam for foreign vet' s that took 1 hour total. I' ll be saving those bills for....... pampers. Oh no, what have I gotten myself into.

Think i' ll wait about a year for the cost to come down, and 5/6-ish must have games.
Only consoles I bought on lauch were DC and N64. Both got cheaper really fast

Bonuses? ... Look at this guy with his bonuses!

A real man is me, who sells his bodily fluids for videogames!

You don' t get the games and systems from Kikizo for FREE? Tsk tsk.

Adam doesn' t give me shit. :P

I' ll probably wait unless there' s a game I' d absolutely have to have available at launch (Mario 64 2 I' m looking at you!)

I' m sure they' ll call it Mario 64 2 as well. The next Nintendo system might be another 64 bitter. The Gamecube is 32 bit, believe it or not. That is why you never saw Mario 64 on it. It just couldn' t handle it! :)
