Why is he waiting until November to buy a 360?

why woudlnt you wait? theres not much on the 360 worth playing yet, just as theres not much looking to come out soon on ps3.
plus add in the rumors of a possible price drop around ps3's launch. i think most people are waiting.

things are too damn pricey.

You might get a price drop on the 360 around November.

They don't get consoles for free, but at the office he can sure as hell play any console he wants, with any currently available or upcoming game he wants, on a large HDTV, pretty much anytime he wants. How many consoles would you own if you could do that?

And just because he writes for OPM doesn't mean he's biased towards Sony, as if he has some sort of obligation to purchase their console. To my understanding everyone who works for Ziff Davis writes for all sections of the 1UP network, including EGM, OPM, CGW, and whatever else.

The Wii, as I've mentioned before, launches with dated graphics. If Nintendo pulls a 250 price for the Wii out of their Nintendo hat, for a console that launches graphically dated...

The 360 has a couple good games now, the horizon is looking much better. Personally, I still think I'd get a 360 when the PS3 launches, and maybe consider a Wii in a year or two.

The PS3 has bluray! and Riddddggeee Racer. How can you not want to spend close to 1000 dollars for it.

Of course, in terms of innovation, Nintendo might storm this generation. I'm sure this will be another generation spent playing Counter-Strike on my PC while people go spend thousands of dollars to play console games.

Ouch. Man that was true.

And yeah, the 360 lineup looks pretty hard to beat this fall.

This really rather unimportant and mostly unrelated to any form of conversation within this thread, but I feel it is important that I point out that if you say each letter in "OPM" like that, it sounds like you're saying opium.

Just noticed.

/me shrugs and walks away

i still think buying a next gen console before late 2007 is a complete waste. Get a PS2 and a DS and you have pretty much every genre covered with a ton of quality games that you'll never end up finishing until a couple years down the road...anyone buying a 360 or PS3 until games like MGS4, GTA4 and Halo 3 come out are wasting their money IMO.
