Not to mention that a console is only as good as the games you can play on it. Specs and fancy do-dads aside, it really just comes down to which one has games better set for what I enjoy.
Well put, Rage.
Of course, I'm always quite behind the times when it comes to consoles. I got an NES well after the SNES had been released. I received an SNES a year before Nintendo 64 came out. I got a PSOne (my then-boyfriend, now-husband's old one) after the PS2 came out. And then my husband and I started living together, so I had a PS2 pretty much around the time a lot of other people did. In other words...I won't be getting any of these for a very, very long time. ^^;

Being able to pummel Diddy Kong into a pulp with a baseball bat in SSBM, and with the controller being able to do it YOURSELF! BLISS!!! And you can't forget Zelda or Mario or Samus. I can't wait to play Metroid with my Remote and Nunchuk.
Man, I never thought I'd say that in my lifetime.
Yeah, that's one of the main reason's I'm so hyped about it. I love Super Smash Bros (which is coming out with the console!), Zelda, Mario and lots of other games, and my brother loves the Metroid series, and I'm sure that with this innovative controller there will be plenty of developers who will want to make their unique styles of games. (Its like the DS, which is also original in its functions).
But that's not saying I have anything against the PS3, in fact I'm definitely also looking forward to that (can't wait for the new FF games...). However I chose to ignore it seeing as the title told me to choose between the Revolution and the 360
Anyway, my brother and I are going to buy both the PS3 and Revolution, so I have no reason to chose between them.. tee hee!

Hmm.. has anything been released about how much the Revolution will cost? If it's not too outrageous, I'll just save up my checks and go buy both when they come out. ._.

I'm getting the Revolution!!!
That controller is excellent, I can play all my GC games, I can play all my fave NES games again
Smash Bros was one of my fave games on the GC.
The 360 isn't fully backwards compatible. They said only 10% of Xbox games will work on it.
Also, the price being talked about was $179, which is about £100.

Well, you should make sure your house/apartment has a good foundation. If not, you may not want to buy the Xflop 350, because it may cause your house/apartment to cave in.

As much as I hate the Xbox, the new one isn't all too big from what I've seen and heard.
In fact, the PS3 is probably bigger
But you didn't hear me say that.
Sat Oct 15, 2005 1:51 pm
Yes, the PS3 Is probably going to be bigger.
From what I've heard the launch titles will go somewhere around this:
Revolution: $200-250 (american, mind you)
Xbox 360: either the $300, or the $400 (only 400 can really do much)
PS3: $450 - 500.
That said, the PS3 is intended not as a gaming system, but as everything you would plug into your TV, rolled into one. It's graphics are also Crazy good, from what I've seen (which isn't much) which is a significant improvement over the PS2 which was horrible in that department.
The 360 still has online going for it, and from what I've heard, Halo 3 will be a launch title, along with a new Fable game, and some sort of Racing game. I believe both the PS3 and Xbox 360 will have resident evil Five within a month of launching as well.
The Revolution though... that controller just PWNZ! Supposedly the games are going to be much more online (yay) and I'll finally be able to play Chrono Trigger again (haven't in six Years, since my SNES broke) The downside of the Revo is, at launch it will be only First-Party games, as nintendo hasn't released enough info to other developers. The upside of that is, we may end up getting some of the better games later on, with more added (like the PS2 version of Resident Evil Four)
I'll be going for Revolution, Hands Down.

There's really no solid information about the price of the PS3 on any of the major sites at the moment (that I can find). From what I've read though, $399 seems to be a more likely price for them to start off with (though production cost it more than that amount) and they've even mentioned dropping a few minor things (like the HD, which I find trivial anyway) to make the price much lower than the 360, which I hope they do. That way they can keep the price lower and not lose money. If the PS3 costs around $500, I'm going for the Rev. o'_o

The other info I found out recently, which may or may not be important, depending on how rivch you are - The Revolution will not work with HDTV.
Not a major problem over here in UK, but I know from when I went to Florida on hols, they seem to be making a big deal out of it over there

I'll be going with the reveloution because if the 360 is anything like the Xbox it will suck and just have copies of PC games.
Thu Oct 20, 2005 9:43 pm
I think my parents are allowing me to get Revolution. With it I will (FINALLY!) be able to play some GC games that I've always wanted... such as FIRE EMBLEM which came out a few days ago!
And of course, a new Super Smash Brothers, not to mention a cool controller never hurts! I always think that using the controller will get tiring though, if you swing it around or something too much XD.

If the Rev is anything like the Gamecube it will be chock full of gimmicks (Oh wait.....) and most probably have a poor game library like its predecessor.Tired Feather wrote:I'll be going with the reveloution because if the 360 is anything like the Xbox it will suck and just have copies of PC games.

But the GC was far from innovative. The Revolution is something so innovative it hurts.
And if Developers see how popular this innovation is, they WILL develop games for it if they know what's good for them. Games that actually use the full functionality of the Revo. Otherwise, there won't really be much going for it =/

PS3 pwns em all and everyone knows it. Out of the two i would go with the 360 because Nentendo stinks (not including the legendary nes/snes/N64.)

Meh, I just played the 360 at the mall a week ago, and while the games and graphics are impressive, the controller is far from. It's too small, and it's also uncomfortable. I was able to play a few minutes of Kameo, before I had an ache between my thumb and index finger. I don't remember the controller that well other than that (the button layout seemed a lot better this time around), but I think there was a bump or something on the underside of the controller that just shouldn't be there.
