    Iceman tells it like it is. The XBox 360, while still a very good system, just simply is Not “Next Gen”. It has improved, no doubt, but compared to the PS3 I doubt in the long run it’ll hold out at all. It’ll be interesting to see what really does sell more, since ps3 a few things counting against it (obviously the high price, and late release date in comparison with Xbox360). What made the decision for me was the lineup of games. The 360 games don’t strike me as a huge improvement from the xbox, and the ps3 game previews are just incredible! Take a look at some of the trailers if you don’t believe me. I’m not a typical Sony loyalist, only a realist.

  • Night

    Oh, I wanted to add something. Since the ps3 should have at least a 10 year life span before a new console is made, it’s likely Microsoft will be forced to make a new XBox before then, and then the price of it and the 360 will easily be over what the ps3 is now. Just a guess.

    hahahahaha, ooooooooooooh it makes me laugh when people fight over which console is best, its like when we were all 5 year olds, ‘my daddys better than your daddy’ ‘no mine is better’
    honestly guys come on, grow a brain. If you want a wii get a wii, if you want a 360 get a 360 and if you want a PS3 get a PS3, ITS UP TO YOU !!!! (or you could wait for the next super console, the playboxwii360………in my dreams)
    im getting a PS3, ive played my mates wii and my other mates 360 and i think the PS3 will be better, all the good original games came out on the PS1 in the starting place (well apart from the sega megadrive and all the other ‘oldies’) and Halo was practicly the only thing that got the xbox though their first console (someone else said that in an earlier post i think) i think the PS3 will be more visually stunning (yes i have played gears of war so you carnt use that against me)
    for all you people saying the PS3 ‘copies’ or ‘steals’ things from the 360, well your right they do, the same way the xbox ‘copied’ or ‘stole’ ideas from the PS2, its just the way consoles evolve i guess
    so guys dont hate a person for buying a different console than you, and dont hate a console for being different from the one you already have
    happy gaming everyone

    Don’t really care about the 360 myself, if I’m after a games pc I’d use a pc as its easily fixed and upgradeable (thats just me).

    Much more interested in actually using a PS3 as a Linux box (some of us actually program) the IBM Cell processor on the PS3, that sounds impressive, so the system uses one core and I’m only left with 7 thats great – if anyone can wrap the PS3 into a laptop format then I’ll take one of those too.

    Just a pity that Sony seem to have decided to lock off the high end graphics from Linux, anyone getting past that would make this the greatest home Linux box ever.

    What does all this mean? Like Microsoft announced, it is possible the 360 will be given the option for a Blu-Ray drive soon. This is very logical since Blu-Ray is (obviously) winning the war on media. So that HD drive 360 owners more than likely shelled out $200 for? Will probably become worthless… I’d sell it now while there is still a demand for it if I were you.

    What does all this mean? Like Microsoft announced, it is possible the 360 will be given the option for a Blu-Ray drive soon. This is very logical since Blu-Ray is (obviously) winning the war on media. So that HD drive 360 owners more than likely shelled out $200 for? Will probably become worthless… I’d sell it now while there is still a demand for it if I were you.
