Boycotting the XBOX360!

Before launch, I was so hyped about this system. Then, it went all down hill. My preorder wasn't going to come in untill February and I missed getting one at Bestbuy by 4 spots. Everyday, I make a few calls before school to see if they have any. My interest has dwindled since then, and now I could care less about it. I am through with MS, and am not buying into the hype. I decided that I will not be picking one up.

The way I look at it, the launch titles are horrible anyway. Basically, all the EA games suck and are stripped down. Most of them are just ports with slight graphics upgrade. The only ones I would consider are PGR3, PD0, and COD2. PGR3 is alright, but nothing spectatular. I can be satisfied with PGR2 and Forza for now. I played with PD0 for a little bit, and I hated it. The game is so slow, it takes like 20 shots to kill someone, no jump, the story sucks, and the voice acting is bad. COD2 is nice, but the multiplayer kind of ruins it. You might as well get the pc version which has a fantastic multiplayer.

For Christmas, I figure I will get some PC upgrades. All I really need is more ram, better HD, and a sound card to play most games on high. I might pick up COD2, Chaos, Theory, and Fear. Plus, I think the current gen consoles have some life left in them. I still haven't beaten Prince of Persia or bought God of War yet.

If you look at the future of the XBOX360, there aren't that many great games. You have ES and GR3 which are coming to the PC. Gears of War looks pretty cool, but I wouldn't buy a system for it. DOA4 keeps getting pushed back, and I always prefered Tekken over DOA anyway. Halo3 is just about the only game I am interested in, and it hasn't even been announced yet. Besides, Halo is overhyped anyway.

PS3 should be launching this Spring, and I can't wait. There is no doubt that it will be the superior system as far as hardware goes. I am really excited about all the exclusive games. GOW2, MGS4 (a must have), Killzone 2, GT5, etc. I am also looking forward to the Nintendo Revo. It should be a refreshing change from other games with innovative gameplay and great 1st party titles.

Is anybody else with me?
 
Yeah, i was dead set on getting one as well before the launch. But both time i've been to BB to pick one up, i went a couple of hours early hoping to be able to beat the crowd... but there were all nighters in both cases (and it was SNOWING hard the other night).

So i said fvck it.
 
I played COD2 and PGR3 at CompUSA yesterday. I wasn't that impressed, but that might be because I don't particularly like shooters and racers.
