I'm super pumped for the PS3. I live in Canada so it's already come out here, but this last month I've been saving up money. I already have 450$ in my pocket, which my brother is going to contribute 150$ so his friends can play it when they come over and I'm not there. I'll be seeling my PS2 at the EB here for the 100$ deal, and then my games and other stuff for another 100$ to my buddy. Which will afford me a ps3.


To the person who said Blu-Ray wasn't taking advantage of games this gen... I can see where you're coming from, but then why would all the developers praise it? There's a reason all 360 games have been one 1 disk - developers hate to put out multi-disk content. The 360's DVD9 has games already at around 7 gigs. Now take into consideration that the original Tekken Tag for the PS2 launch was only 512mb, as opposed to the newly released Tekken 5 for PS2 which clocks in at 5gigs. That's over a 5x increase. I do think Blu-Ray will be needed for games, how soon I can't say. All I know is Hideo Kojima has been asking for the 50gigabyte Blu-Ray disks, which leads me to believe the 25gigger isn't cutting it. So... despite the fact that the game could run on the Xbox... it can't fit.



I have an Xbox360 (well, my brother does) and I'll be getting a PS3 soon. I love all consoles equally and this is just my opinion as I see it. The only console I probably won't be getting this gen is the Wii, which I don't see what all the fuss is about. It's fun at first, but once you've played HiDef games on the 360 and PS3 with thousands of textures on the screen... it can be hard going back to the graphics of the original Xbox, especially when I have to pay 250$ to do so. It's like paying for the original Gamecube but getting a new control method.
