OPM Editor Buys 360 over PS3

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.

That's a bit of a blanket conclusion. I bought my 360 for Phantasy Star Universe mainly, not any of those.

The fall lineups of both the PS2 and the DS this year cover more AAA titles than I could play in an entire year. It'll be at least a year before I look at a next-gen console, unless the Wii is crazy cheap.

And anything over 200 isn't crazy cheap.

IMO = In My Opinion

And how many hours have you put into PSU since you bought the 360?

PSU comes out October 24th.
