i don't know about the rest of you but in my opinion, you should own All of the consoles. you won't miss out on any games. you only denie yourself video games by being a Fanboy/Girl.

i became an xbox fan when i bought a ps2 at launch, it broke, called sony, and it wasnt covered under warranty. so i bought a new ps2, and it broke again, and sony wouldnt cover it.

then i bought an xbox, played it. bought a 360 at launch, and yes its loud, but it has not broken and i am happy

I would rather deny myself a few exclusives than be in debt. Not everyone has enough money to purchase/support all titles.
I can hardly afford to buy the games I want for my PS3, how the heck am I supposed to afford buying an extra 1/2 titles a month for the 360? besides, if I got the 360, I'd only be playing one or two games for the rest of the year, the 360 just doesn't have many games that strike me as purchaseworthy, and I do think that is mostly because I don't own a 360.

I am not a fanboy and owned all 3 systems last gen. But, that being said; I was most hyped to get a PS3 of the three. Never bought a 360 because there were no good games out the 1st year. Now I just refuse to join the 360 camp because the way Xbots act on this site. They bash anything about the PS3 without fact or objectional critisism. So for now, I will just stick with my Wii and PS3, maybe cave in and get a 360 later if they can fix all the hardware problems. Who knows, it is usually spur of the moment for me. Actually above all, I am waiting for Diablo 3 and if it is MMORPG, I will be highly disappointed- that genre never appealed to me and feels like a rip-off by the distributors.

There isn't a single game on any of the consoles that interest me. Not one. No new Total War on the consoles, absolutely NO flight sims, no good RTS games, no grognard games, the TBS games on consoles are so scaled down as to be pathetic, and so on and so forth. When I can fly a flight sim using my yoke, throttle, TrackIR and rudder pedals on a console, you let me know.

I thought about becoming a fanboy, just for fun. But one platform isn't enough but I'm leaning towards PC360. I use to be PS360 because the G4 forumswere overrun with Nintendo fanboys.

Obviously you, for getting so bent over my reasoning!

I remember someone once posting:

how about just restricting your gaming preferences to one console?

Gaming is not serious business, if you dont play every good game you wont die. Just game on one console there are more important things in life than electronics.

Think about that before flaming me next time.

I noticed you rated Blue Dragon a 1.0...have you even played it? I haven't, I don't own a console, but rating the other systems games low just to off-set the score is very 'fanboish'.

I don't want to spend the money for all 3, when the PS3 and 360 are so similar.

Actually my brother has a 360 and I hated that game to the extreme. I thought that game should never have been made. Sue me for having an opinion.

If I was, "fanboyish" as you say I would have rated halo3 a '1'.

If you have about $1,000 to loan me I'd be happy to own each console. Unfortunately, it's not that easy.

It would take a lot for me to rate a game 1.0, even if I didn't like it. I don't like Halo, in any of its iterations, but I wouldn't rate it below a 7.0 personally because whether or not I like it, it's competent in its design and execution. Or do people not realize that reviews and ratings are done on merits as well as and aside from opinion?

Let me try again: Gaming is not serious business, if you dont play every good game you wont die.

I am quoting YOU!

You are only proving my point: 360 owners get bent everytime someone disagrees with them. I just don't want to play online with people of that mentality. It was hard enough playing Halo online with all the immature players.

you are not proving very much.

You're not buying a 360 because of what fanboys say on an internet forum about a console you like. again, i ask, who is the fanboy here?

Of course it would be great to own all the consoles.  But there is a little thing called money that you need, and some people just dont have enough.

agreed and that's one negative side of actually owning all the systems. You gotta keep track of all the games each systemhas to offer and see if you want it (and there's a lot of games). I almost forgot about when Assasin's Creed was supposed to be release.. It's on weds. right??
