The point at the moment is the software library, the likes of which is currently superior and looks to maintain superiority to the PS3's. It's hard to say how long the 360 will last, but I would predict at the very least through 2009 into 2010. With the likes of Mass Effect/Bioshock/Halo 3 among other on the horizon, the 360 is an excellent purchase right now.

You should go to Charleton, SC sometime. There are millionaires sitting on their porches telling their friends..."I reckon we should hit the intercoastal waterway on our yacht today"...

"I reckon so..."

Well, Bling Bling is more urban/pop culture slang...

'Reckon' is a phrase embedded into Southern culture...

It will last longer than the original xbox because of the fact that they have an early start now and before they had a considerable late start so they had to kill the original xbox quick to get a lead on the the other consoles. As they are probably going to release the next xbox a year before the main competetion, you can bet that it will be killed a year before the competetion is going to be killed but will last a total of the same amount of time as the other consoles because of the year headstart.

"Rekon" is a bit more based in linguistic and cultural roots than a stereotypical British phrase and a nonsensical pop culture saying.

The point is that they are words/phrases that are silly sounding in this day and age. WTF how did this thread turn into an etymology discussion?

is mass effect on ps3, is forza 2 on ps3, is halo 3 on ps3, is gears of war on ps3, ect. I don't think so. 360 has a lot of good games and a lot more coming up. PS3 isn't worth the purchase until FFXIII and MGS4 come out

Sorry that argument doesn't work anymore.  In that case I could say that 360 isn't worth owning until Halo 3 and Ninja Gaiden 2 are out.

News flash dude...you opinion doesen't determin when someone else should buy...ANYTHING!

Actually in Europe FF13 is coming in 2009, at best in late 2008, when 360 will have SOON

Mass Effect, Halo 3, Ninja Gaiden 2, Two Worlds, Elveon, Overlord, Bioshock, Blue Dragon, Fable 2, Lost Odyssey, Eternal Sonata, Infinite undiscovery, Circle of Doom, Alan Wake, Theseis, Shivering Isles, Cry On, etc etc far before FF13 on PS3, talk about ownage

It is funny to even think of getting a PS3 instead of a 360 at this point

These are you guys opinions. Most of those 360 games will be on PC.

The little exclusive titles 360 has is not worth owning one for now if ever: see I can do it to.

InfamousC

The problem with that, Aside from it being an opinion itself, is how well will those games run on the average PC and is it worth waiting in some cases up to 2 years to play a particular title. I notice a lot of people who throw out the "All 360 games are going to be on a PC" argument completely overshadow the "possible upgrade" part which in some cases, can turn out to be more than what the 360 costs.

Not everyone owns a 8800GTX videocard or anything near it..Also it depends on your knowledge of  your PC and comfort level with PC game installation and configuration. The 360 is just an easier choice for most people.

Xbox 4 may face PS4 (according to the usual console life)

Xbox 3 = 2009-2010
Xbox 4 = 2014-2015

PS4 = 2013-2014

Depending on how succesful it is MS might just stretch it out longer. Here's the thing: If MS launches a new system too soon they'll be in the same position Sony is in right now, where it's too much for too little.

But NONE will be for other consoles, so is there a point in buying 360 now ? YES THERE IS. Is there a point in getting a Wii or RPS3, not one

As long as Microsoft is winning, they're going to keep the 360 going strong. I don't forsee Microsoft announcing a new console until either Sony or Nintendo announce a new one.

The 360 does not have motion sensing. Last Gen. PS3 and Wii have motion sensing, a true key piece to the next generation.

heretrix
You know what's interesting about the Zephyr is the Playstation 3 has a Zephyr model as well. It was called the 20 gig and 60 gig version and it was released at the system's launch. It's as easy as this: pop your 20 gig or 60 gig hard drive out of the PS3, insert giant, high-capacity replacement. Voila.

no one really knows how long are they gonna support it (hope more than the xbox), but the real quastion is, should u buy one now???

i'd say no, if u can wait (u did till now) there is the rumor of price cut and the new 360. why isnt MS confirming any of this? because this is exactly the point, they dont want ppl saying "i wont get it NOW, cause a price cut is coming "or new one".

many indecators out there saying they are releasing a new one, the cut down in numbers is pretty much the biggest (unliss they are really selling bad  :) )
