I would probably get a PS3.

1. Most games on 360 are on PC.

2. PS3 in the next year or two will have amazing graphics(for consoles) because of the cell.

3. It will last a long time(look at the PS2).

4. I would have to say MGS4 and KZ2 look pretty sweet.

So I am sharing why I will probably get this in the next year and I am giving the cows props.

Ps3 for me as well. Seeing I am a little HD whore, the Blu-Ray would fit perfectly for me. Besides that all of the great games on the PS3 that aren't on the PC unlike the 360.

yeah i have a ps3 as well, it doesnt compare at all to my PC performance and ownage wise, but its still an awesome machine and a good home theatre solution, just which it would support more formats natively.

also i dont know why I have zero interest in ninendo games, if i did, a Wii would be an amazing addition to a kickass gaming pc.

xbox360... not so much. i sold mine.

Haha no it wasn't the RRoD, I returned it because i simply wasn't satisfied with it. Like you, I can't stand it when people bring up the RRoD as an excuse for not liking a console

A Wii, which is exactly what I got. :)

I love Nintendo first party franchises, and since the best PS3/360 games are on the PC, what else do I have to lose?

For real hermits there is only one option - X360. After this they could dump PC as well, cause all good PC games are multiplats with X360 and best X360 games are mostly exclusives or get on PC after year or three.

I would probably get a PS3.

Likely

1. Most games on 360 are on PC.

Not the ones most hermits want, thanks very much.

2. PS3 in the next year or two will have amazing graphics(for consoles) because of the cell.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, please.

3. It will last a long time(look at the PS2).

It'll last a long time with the same graphics, thats the keyphrase.

4. I would have to say MGS4 and KZ2 look pretty sweet.

Decent. But does KZ2 have full KB/M support?

So I am sharing why I will probably get this in the next year and I am giving the cows props.

Wii for me.

All killer apps or great games on the wii aren't on any other platform and it offers a complete unique experience. Unlike the PS3 and X360 which are similar to each other and share exclusives. I'm sure one who wants PS3 are the ones who want Japanese games.

So, you're saying that if you own a PC, you better get a 360, since they have almost the same games, and then dump the PC and only own the 360? Yeah, that would totally be smarter than getting something completely different from the PC, cause if you do that, you might get a little variety. :shock:

Nice logic.

I also like how you left out all the PC exclusives..

I'm already planning on picking up a PS3 for the console exclusive stuff I'm interested in (Burnout Paradise, Ninja Gaiden: Sigma, etc.), and it'd be nice to have a Blu-Ray player hanging around.

Easily the PS3 for me:

- GT5, Uncharted, MGS4 and other relatively interesting titles that for sure won't end up on PC
- Good enough graphics
- Gives access to those PS3/360 multiplats PC misses out, like GTA4, Condemned 2 etc.
- Few genres that PC doesn't have, Fighters and jRPG
- As a PC gamer I absolutely will not play FPS on a controller, but FragFX would certainly do in an emergency
- As a casual online gamer I will not pay for it, but it's nice to still have the option to kick some ass online
- Reliable, good amount of features for the price, even runs Linux

Wii is simply too expensive considering the graphics and features it offers, 360 on the other hand is unrealiable, shares lot of its titles with PC and makes you pay for online.

So, you're saying that if you own a PC, you better get a 360, since they have almost the same gamesLitchie

Yeah, man, PDZ, DOA 4, PGR3, Burnouts, GRAW, Dead Rising, Halo 3, GeOW, Mass Effect, Forza 2, Crackdown, Virtua Fighter, PGR 4 - are all multiplats with PC. NG 2 will be released on PC same time probably?

This list are mostly all best X360 games, and no, I don't play trash like Prey, FEAR, C&C 3, COD 4 and other low quality games from PC. I know much better ways to waste money.

Bioshock was good, Oblivion. All multiplats with PC that I have.

Not just trash, it's so casual trash that even House of Dead looks like deep tactical shooter in comparison.

Other than Ninja Gaiden II, there isn't anything that really stands out on the 360 for me, while the PS3 has a few other exclusives I'm keeping an eye on.

It is the exact opposite for me there is the only ps3 exclusive I am looking at RFOM2 but i defiantly don't need it at all.

All the 360 stuff I'm interested in, that's not on PS3, I already have access to on my PC- plus, I've got a DS and Wii kicking around as well, so... Sure, label me fanboy.

You pegged the wrong guy. The second poster is the original cow. That's right, Wasdie. That is, before the PS3's slow start. He'd be justified in getting one now though. Hell, I want one.

A PS3. Oddly, it's the only platform I don't own yet. I'm probably going to pick it up once the rumble version comes out.

Well, I think it worth to post the list of games I have. Specially for everybody: X360 GRAW 1,2 has nothing common with PC GRAW, one-three years old port can't be considered as multiplats but only as dinner at salvation army.

PDZ
DOA 4
PGR 3
COD 2 (multiplat with PC)
Oblivion (multiplat with PC)
Burmout Revenge
GRAW
Dead Rising
COD 3
Gears
R6 Vegas (multiplat with PC)
Crackdown
GRAW 2
Forza 2
Bioshock (multiplat with PC)
Halo 3
PGR 4
Virtua Fighter 5
Mass Effect

Halo 2
Black
Forza
Conker

Well, 4 multiplats
