Yea I'm thinking of getting a 360 myself, can't see paying that much for a gaming console..not even for a Sony.

give it time. i see the value and potential now, in addition to all the time ive waited, and i see the 600 being worth it. no moreso tho. if the price were any more i would not go for it, and i wouldnt have a console at all excluing previous gens.
But they all do sort of the same thing, and that is rearrange what you thought was real, and they remind you of the beauty of very simple things. You forget, because youre so busy going from a to z, that theres 24 letters in between... You turn on... tune in... and you drop out...

That doesn't sound like that great of news for the 360, and I had planned to wait to get a 360 for the price drop, maybe now I won't even get one if they are truly considering about making a new system in 3 years.
Yo!

i do not think they will do that, i think myabe in 5 years even maybe 4 years but not 3.
PS3 specs may look better than xbox 360 but i am yet to see a game on the PS3 that looks better than any of the top end xbox 360 games such as gears of war, mass effect and halo 3.

they will probably release xb3 in late 2010-2011. thats where i see it. if they did it would become another dreamcast, with ps4 coming out a year and a half or two later. people predicted the 360 become like the dreamcast, popular at first and forgotten uppon the next console. but with the ps3 price that wont happen. it would have if 100 dollars was shaven.
@fninja
where have you been? i havnt seen you much anymore.
edit: i found this cool little article. it reminded me how much time sony really has had to make their product, so i dont think there will be many flaws, gripes, or problems with the system other than lack of vibration. but then again, do your pc games vibrate? no. so what are you complaining about? (not you as in anyone specific, more in general.)

whats wrong with game developers today.
playing games were about having fun.
and not about blueray and high definition.
and paying 600..500..400..dollars for a game console.
thats to much....a used car costs that much.
they should keep the price under 300 dollars
...if they want to "evolve" gaming they should do it in a afordable way. And dont"rush" the consoles for xmas.

i hate it when people want to retard technological development for their own greed. you want them to make consoles that are not great so you can save? there should only be one like htat, and there is. go get a wii. but the majority need to always ride the top or there is no point in a console. i want to experience the best, something previous people could not have.
(i forgot to put a link in my last post. its there now.)

definition of computer:
A device that computes, especially a programmable electronic machine that performs high-speed mathematical or logical operations or that assembles, stores, correlates, or otherwise processes information.
the only thing separating the ps3 from a pc is interchangable parts, it can do everything else. but if it had that, it wouldnt fit as a console. they take great materials for wholesale price and stick it all together to offer it to you lower than anything else offered at that price could think of giving. let me know what computer you can build for anywhere near the price of the ps3, and have it perform 256 gflops and come to par with the rsx.

geez...when people play games they dont even notice how the system works...its really no point in my opinion to beef up the graphics extremely, maybe a lot is nice. but if the price is gon be like over 350, screw that. its like, all muscle, no....... no.....no of everything else. (if that makes sense)

it issnt just pretty, its got smarts too. plus, sony is pushing its online service hard and offering many things other than games. to say its all beef and no bone is quite contrary.

I agree that when graphics leaps start to get so low that you don't notice, then they should just focus on gameplay, but please...Gamecube graphics are not where we should stop at, hell as good as PS3 graphics are, we still have not gotten to Cars(Pixar Movie) Graphics in-game. No, we still have a lot farther to go before we stop trying to make games prettier.

i happen to find it extremely ironic that people were up and arms about sony and the expected ps3 game prices back when kaz made the general statement regarding game prices leading to much speculation. however it is actually the 360 that will feature a game for $99.99. just announced halo 3 legendary edition, oooohh but it comes with a helmet......which you can't wear.
http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product_id=200242
naturally if $99.99 is a bit steep you can always settle for the collector's edition at $69.99
http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product_id=200241
and as always the basic version priced at $59.99
http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product_id=200241
i should add the pricing still isn't official and could change. so maybe the generalization back when wasn't so far out in left field afterall, but i know i know you get a cartoon book, helmet, dvd documentary etc....it'll be interesting to see how sales for each edition fair and if the 100$ pricetag is reasonable. i think its a bit crazy

Gears of War is gonna be superb. If you don't want this game you're a fanboy IMHO.

yeah dude...not just the graphics, the movement of the characters are soo realistic, pretty much equivelant to real life acting. its really well done. the gameplay where you move from cover to cover looks really cool and realistic. thats what people appreciate, i think. you know, like how its realistic, yet its still creative, imaginative, and most of all enjoyable.

The only weak point that has been pointed out is the length of the story mode, and it's just as long as you're average fps at 10 hours (on casual), and takes obviously longes on hardcore/insan, so it's a pretty strong weak point!

its not just gears of war that is like that, its the entire unreal engine. i've adored it since ue2 and it is the most suberb one i know. mix it with some aspects from the source engine and your could have the best damn product. but the game doesnt look too good. the carachters dont appeal, they are kind of grotesqe. maybe the storyline is better? oh well, i dont own a 360 and i know no one who wants one. its all wii or ps3 here.

Elumintors for pc yes
All I have too say is that I will have best of both worlds because of games and graphics, better graphic and awesome games(especially with HDTV 1080p) = ps3 and the only reason I would get 360 would be gears of war and halo 3 that's my opinion and want I think would be worth buying. As for the Wii, I know the goal is to reach all ages and think that that is bogis it will be for more teenagers than anything, because of the motion controller ppl will get tried of this whole thing and I was going to buy one for my 5 yr old which is good on all previous systems but not good with motion scence games. I had gotten him a LOTR motions games( one of the cheap motion games with the swords) and really got frustraded and pissed off because it had to be a done right, so I have having second thoughts about the whole wii thing even though I think is great and very interactive but don't think peewee gamers won't be please at least for the perants by sitting next to him and show him the ropes of the system or have the patience to do that( at least not me) while he can play games on the ps3 or 360 because he already knows the controllers. I just think nintendo really f'ed up on this with kids being able to play this but who know he has to try it out and I will have to test him out on this before making a purchase of the Wii, but he has been asking for Santa to bring him a 360(what a brat huh lol) I wish at that age my folks had the money to get me all the cool stuff, well aleast I'm am gald I can give him what wasn't givin to me. Just thought I would give my 2 cents.
