Well, I'm glad I decided to wait on the XBOX 360... It's basically a cheap version of the PS3. But then again, since I'm a sucker for all things gaming, I don't really care how much the consoles cost... it's still cheaper than trying to keep an updated gaming PC. And people who say that they don't care about all the other features... I know I care, and I know there are a lot of people who care. My PS2 was always the hub of my home entertainment system, and I have no doubt my PS3 will serve the same purpose... I mean, c'mon, it's about the same price as a standalone Blu-Ray player.
Moving on... The Wii is also a must-have system. The pointer is proving itself to me as being an extremely cool gameplay idea, and I will definitely be buying a Wii. Xbox 360? Other than Halo 3, I don't see what it has going for it... I mean, PS3 is more powerful, comes with a built-in hard drive (so no crippled Oblivion games), has amazing load times courtesy of Blu-Ray and hard drive (see GT:HD). It really has only price point advantage, and even that is diminished when you figure the Sony Online will be free. PS3 will get all the ports, and now that it has limited motion sensing, it may even be getting select few Wii ports, and it will have truly amazing first-party games... anybody see the trailer for Eight Days? Man, that looks intense.
