a) I think we have covered this somewhere already
b) The ps3 in not comeing out until at the earliest Spring on 2006, thats 6 months away mate. And rumours of a delayed 2007 launch have been floating and gaining creditibility for some time now.
 
Yea its been covered an I'm personaly growing tired of all the argueing over specs and which one will own the other hehe :P. But I'll say I'm only really interested in gaming on the pc as I use my PC for everyting under the sun and therefore it's better for me to put more money into my PC then to buy a gaming machine. Also I dont play games all that much but I do play.
 
well.. since i just got this system.. ill prefer computer anytime. untill halo 3 is released.. i dont think ill have time to sleep then ^^
 
I personal dont like playing games on computers for long periods of time, I am going to get a xbox 360 and a ps3 and sit in front of my samsung 70" dlp with them hooked up through my onkyo 7.1 with polk audio speakers and 2 velodyne 15" subwoofers! I dont care what anyone says playing games on a computer just cant compare with that experience, it's awesome with a ps2 cant wait for ps3...JMO!

Honestly this is not totaly accurate. You could have almost the exact experience as you describe with a PC.
 
i cant beleive that nintendo revolution has more votes so far than ps3. game cube sucked compared to ps2

Well its just a matter of opinion really. We could argue it all day long and there could be no clear winner.

Although a pc can be hooked up to all that equipment.

first of all playstation sucks. gamecube was 100x better than ps2. i just hate it, and always will. Second of all the main reason people didnt like gamcube was because of the games. Nintendo will be breaking all of their commitments with 3rd party companys exept for ubisoft, whick actualy makes good games, splinter cell, ect.. The reason for this is to make their next system more appealing to older audiences. Personaly i didnt vote for revolution, mostly because i liked xbox better than gamecube, so if im getting any system its gonna be 360, unless nintendo releases more. i voted for 360 although i know i will always like computer games the best, but i decided to vote out of the consoles.
 
#1 The Gamecube does not suck compared to the PS2. The Gamecube is more powerful than the PS2. However, the library of games on the PS2 is larger. 90% of the time if you compare both systems side by side wth the same game the cube wins. The only thing I wish it had more of is online support which it can do if they would just use it.

#2 The revolution looks interesting so far. It has a very unique controller which I will reserve judgement on until I try it. Otherwise it seems like a very capible system.
 
i think camecube is for kids, i don't think that adult person will be interested in playing Zelda or similar games.

Now stop arguing, there i is in black and white, and perhaps a bit of grey. The full specs for each the 360 and the ps3, i only did these two cos they are IMO the leading two. Stop ur yappin and read the damn specs.

i would be tempted by both the xbox 360 and the ps3.
im not too keen on the nintendo for some reason, the controller is a little too unconventional for my liking.
i would at least try all of the new systems though cos there's no point ruling it out because of favouritism.
