hahaha FMA is so cool. (hmm off topic and wrong forum......NO it's a game now......a rather dissapointing game, but a game none the less).

Well anyways, back on topic.

If you wait like a year after it comes out, the price will drop signifcantly and because it's only after a year, you probably wouldn't miss anything.
oh yeah by the way. Doovy & Co. are not gone. After all... I am Doovy and Forunner is still here.

Yes, its definatly worth getting a $400 console for just one game. :roll:

Especially an extreamly overrated one at that.

I think I agree with SotW on this one... I mean, he IS a sage, and he IS pretty wise.

And yeah, Teen, get a system because you've seen its specs. Enjoy your three good games for it, just like you did with the XBox this generation.

Who the fuck said I would be getting it for one game?!?
Who the fuck in their right mind would do that, and who the fuck in their right mind would be stupid enough to assume that I'd do something like that!
Halo3 won't be the only good game on Xbox360... there's also games like Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion and the next Need for Speed and of course heaps of other awesome titles are soon to come...

...idiots.... :roll:

well, your entitled to your opinion, no one is going to think any worse of you for it, but, Xbox 360 IS a generaly better console, PS3 is faster, but thats about it.
PS3 will be better for RPGs but Xbox360 will be better for FPS (Xbox always has)

so it is really up to your preferences in games, nothing else.

I would just like to point out that Morrowing was exponentially better on PC, so don't consider this a necessarily strong 360 title.

And for the record Iwata (CEO, Nintendo) said in an interview that Nintendo (The Revolution, specifically) is going in a different direction than its competitors. I really don't even consider it in the same league as the PS3 and 360 as far the term "console" applies.

So, wait, both of them will excel in a an often crap genre which is in the majority of cases (but not all for either of them) repetitive and tedious? Okay, fair enough. I respect your decisions.

Personally, I pick the system which excels in Platformers (Mario), Adventure games (Zelda), simulation games (Animal Crossing, and sans BtN, the best Harvest Moon games tend to be on Nintendo systems), Strategy games (Fire Emblem! Maybe Pikmin and ____ Wars, too), Fighting games (SSB... online... *drool*), racing games (between F-Zero and Mario Kart, you've got all the good subgenres of racing), and also GOOD RPGs (Paper Mario, hopefully another Tales, hopefully a Mana game, any other RPG with GAMEPLAY) and GOOD FPS' (Metroid Prime, the break from the constant mindless repetitive FPS tedium). Yeah, I actually look forward to systems for a variety of reasons, rather than touting a single example.

... but then how many normal people will be able to play Oblivion on their computers without it ultra lagging?..... but then how many people will be able to afford xbox360.... interesting.....

You ASSume that my wHOLE being is dedicated to being a microsoft whore....I care about the quality of my games...oh...did I fail to mention a minor detail...yeah....I did....I'm getting all 3 systems in swift sucession since I don't own a PS and well....I admire Nintendo occasionally...I just like MS's Xbox because if I get attacked in the streets, I know that with my Xbox, I beat em with it like a brick....That, and I can play Doom 3 and other games as opposed to my shitty old-ass Desktop Dell.

Sony Rulz.... Microsoft is ok but only because it has xbox... Nintendo, well if it wasnt for Zelda and some of the other 1 or 2 good game titles then it would be absolute trash.

Um, there are so many things wrong with that line... wow. Wouldn't Sony's consoles be utter trash without their 1 or 2 good game titles like Final Fantasy and some racing games? Wouldn't the XBox be utter trash without Halo and 1 or 2 other good game titles? I mean, if you look at the big picture, every console has a select few very good games and a host of others that no one has ever heard of.

Nintendo's drive for something other than "omgwtf grafiks" may not have worked out that well so far (See Mario Sunshine and the Wind Waker, both are definitely not bad games, but are still subpar for their series history), but it's exactly what we need in the gaming industry. The XBox will continue to develop more and more realistic-looking FPSs, and the PS will probably continue to make more of the same. But if there's one thing that Nintendo is the leader in, it's attempts at something new. Nintendo's creative drive hasn't run out yet, and I expect them to be the next ones to release something revolutionary (no pun intended). At least they're trying, which can't really be said for the others.

Other good titles? You just can't think of anything can you?
