[QUOTE="-RocBoys9489-"] Considering Gears 2 was announced at GDC last year, there's going to be lots of games at E3 this year, I'm sure. Heck, there's already been Halo Wars, Star Ocean IV, Race Pro, and Ninja Blade soon all in the time of KZ2. MS is already beating Sony this year.-RocBoys9489-

Gears 2? What the...that was well known way before GDC, and that's what you're going to say at E3, huh?

Wow, M$ announced HUXLEY, ALAN WAKE, Splinter Cell: Conviction, and Halo 3 ODST! What a surprise.

And those games you listed aren't really brag worthy...

Don't get me wrong, M$ WILL make announcements, but pretending to be surprised at GeoW2 is silly.Epic let the cat out of the bag WAY before GDC.

We're going to see 2 Rare games for sure, they release 2 every year. Forza 3 is a likely candidate. We know these games are probably in development, but they still haven't been announced.

I predict One Rare game, but Two would be neat....I question if they would both be this year. Forza has been thrown about these boards, so I can see it, but to be honest, I want to be suprised by some neat new IP's from god knows where.

Hopefully we could see a Crackdown 2 also, that'd be nice :) I can see Rare doing PD2 and/or Kameo 2 for this year.

Yeah, CD2 would be a surprise, Yeah, I can see Rare doing that...maybe even Killer Instict something for XBLA or 360.

[QUOTE="quicksilverXP24"]PS3. Do you really wanna pay the yearly fees for Xbox Live when there aren't any upcoming games coming out in the future for the 360? I'm using my Xbox 360 until the Live subscription expires just so I don't see it as a waste. But once Live expires... I'm not resubscribing to Live and selling my HD and headset just so I don't miss out on these mythical yet-to-be-announced games Microsoft has in store. But the only games I could see me missing from an online perspective is L4D... but if you have played the PC version... I think the PC version is way more fun. And the only other game I could an Xbox 360 owner is Halo 3 9 (although I personally think it sucks hardcore). Everything else can be played with a combination of PS3/PC.-RocBoys9489-
Your ignorance is great, MS hasn't even announced hardly any games this year, and THERE WILL BE for a FACT games announced including some Rare games and other studios.

So bassically what you are saying is.... Just wait?

Oh the irony. :lol:

Just letting you know since Fallout 3 seems to be the lynchpin in your decision making.

Well, Mass Effect and Halo 3 are key to me, as well. I don't have a computer good enough to run either mass effect or fallout3, currently. I'm leaning toward the 360... but I must admit it's tempting to go with the PS3 just for all its untapped power. Seems like they can have more going on at once without slowdown. my first games for 360'd be Gears2 (maybe), Halo 3, and Mass Effect. first games for PS3 would be killzone 2, resistance 2, and warhawk. There's just no RPG on PS3 I'd want to play right now. Hard decision. I'm gonna shut up until I think it through.

Ninja Blade looks to be a nice action game too, coming April 7th

If you don't have a gaming PC, you've just opened youself up to A LOT more titles than the PS3 now such as L4D, Alan Wake, Splinter Cell, & others.

I just got the RE5 360 elite bundle. Think I messed up or made the right decision? I keep thinking - PS3, blu-ray, up to 7 cores, free online then I think of all the 360 games I'd be missing. heh I'm not going to open it for a little to make sure i made the right decision. 360 is at risk for having peaked, then again PS3 is at risk for losing this console war. Then I checked the price of a blu-ray player. It'll drop in time, though.

If the only reasons you want a PS3 is for the bluray and 7 cores, then you made the right choice :P IMO, the 360 is the better GAMING console. in the REAL WORLD, you get 360 exclusives, 360/PC multiplats, and 360/PS3/PC games.

Enough with the untapped power, 7 core garbage! Look at the real picture - What is the best gaming console right now - 360. Best online, largest library, best multiplats, killer exclusives. You do notNEED a wireless attachment, or a battery charger. Even in the future, why on earth would any developer not put there best effort into the 360 with the large install base and ease of development? It sure money for them! AndIf you believe in all this untapped power stuff, what makes you think they dont have technologies in development to take even more advantage of the 360? Im so sick of the brainwashed Sony sheeple fanboys. They get a couple good games in the last couple years, and all of a sudden its the greatest thing on earth. I cant for the life of me understand how fanboys believe the PS3 is so much more powerful, when you have to go close up on screen shots of multiplat 360/PS3 titles to see subtle differences here and there (and usually look BETTER on 360), or you have to spend 5 years and a movie budget on one game, that is only arguably the best looking title out there (KZ2 - I disagree, but it is a good looking game. Didnt kill Halo, or end the 360 by any stretch of the imagination though). All I see is that PS3 might have an edge in some things here and there, andsamewith 360. It is by no means "much more powerful" than 360. And Blu Ray isnt even an issue for me. I wont pay that much for a movie.Ive given all the consoles a chance over the years, and this gen 360 is where its at. I dont have a single friend or family member who doesnt have one. You are sure to have fun with it. PS3 wouldnt be a horrible experience at all, I just dont think its as good as 360. It is FAR better than Wii though! LOL

Get a 360. Great game selection and overall better multiplats. Make sure it has the Jasper chip in it though. Jasper 360s run the coolest andgreatly reduce the chances (supposedly) of RROD.The problem is that most Jasper 360s are still only found in the arcade model and have not shown up much in the pro models.

If I had to choose one now? PS3, mostly because of MGS4, LBP is good too. Those are by far the most played games on my PS3, probably 90% of my play time when it comes to PS3 exclusives (SFIV gets a lot of attention too though and I have it on PS3). 360, Wii are really close to it though, between Wii and 360 I'm not sure if I could choose. Wii has Super Mario Galaxy which is possibly my favorite game this gen, and has 95% of my Wii play time. 360 has Halo 3 and Gears1&2 that take up most of my play time on that.

[QUOTE="-RocBoys9489-"] What? That was last gen bro. This is a PS3 and 360 discussion, stay on topic please.-RocBoys9489-

If you want to play current games, get a Ps3, if you want games from 2005-2007, get a 360.

Problem solved.

Ummm, this year 360 has had Star Ocean IV, Halo Wars, and Race Pro, with Ninja Blade coming in April. I'll take 4 good exclusives over one superb exclusive any day. Last year there was Lost Odyssey, Fable II, Banjo, Gears 2, Ninja Gaiden 2. 09 for 360 has yet to be announced yet. We'll be seeing Halo 3 ODST with other new game announcements later this year, perhaps being Forza 3 and some new Rare games.

calling 4 exclusives where 3 of the 4 prolly arent going to amke 7.0 doesnt help. 360 does have exclusievs from 08 btu most of them came out earlier in the year as appossed to the large amount of ps3 exclusives that came out october to december. I would just say buy the ps3 and finish as its been dominating the 360 in recent games and will be in agmes to come for 09. Plus people always seem to forget the mutiplats. Both systems have them and theres so many so its not like it will be hard to find soemthing to play. And to whoever in the world was saying 360s multiplats are better where have you been? Ps3s multiplats have been better than 360s since the beginnign of 08

Get a 360 if you live in north america, get a ps3 if you live in europe, if you live in japan get a 360 for the RPG games, if you live anywhere else, get a 360 because it still sells more worldwide.Phazevariance

How about buy one now, and get the other later? I have both systems, and enjoy the best of both worlds.
