Considering that PS3 doesn't have any games out...

And anyone remember the graphics jump from Halo -> Halo 2? Don't count 360 out for performance yet.

I didn't know that!
GTA + Halo3 = mMmmm Mm


GTA4 will be released for the 360 on the same day as the PS3.

XBox 360 + Wii FTW..........PS3 priced themselves out of the market for me as a third bedroom system.

Bang for buck??? Are you kidding putting 360 equal to Wii? Wii will be launching at a price point of $250 or less, not to mention that the 360 doesn't have any great games right now...

Wrong. GTA4 is hitting Oct on the 360 and MS and Rockstar announced a deal to bring exclusive episodic content to 360 players.

Wii60 for me, there's no way in fvcking hell I'm going to buy a video game console for $599, I can build a computer for that much. "Well the PS3 has Blu-Ray" Fvck Blu-Ray, fvck DRM. "Well what about Final Fantasy" It sucks. "What about the WiFi?" I've got Cat5e running around my house, don't need it, and I hate lag.

Xbox 360 has games I want, PGR3, PDZ, Halo 3, and I'll be getting whatever sports/multiplatform games I feel like playing on it. The Wii has Nintendo's exclusive titles, Mario, Zelda, Metroid, SSB. IMO, those alone are worth buying the Wii. PS3? A bunch of RPGs, retarded exclusives, and stupid gimmicks like Blu-Ray.

I think the performance edge the PS3 has over the 360 isnt enough to justify the price. The games look exactly the same. I think anything the PS3 can handle the 360 can handle as well. And the only reason why I would have been considering the PS3 was GTA but now I know GTA4 is coming to the 360 so the PS3 is basically a nogo for me.

the ps3 control can only detect tilting. The wiimote can do pixel by pixel on screen tracking, full motion tracking, and tilt, not to mention a rumble pack and on controller speaker for that extra "bang" from the gun :) IMO, the ps3 offers little that is remarkable when given the xbox360 for horsepower, and wii for innovation- both of which costs less.

Hell, the Wiimote has its own speaker.

PS3 tilt function is only good for mocking Sony.

Kinda like this?

The Wii60 term came shortly after Microsoft saying that the 360 + Wii is the perfect purchase over the PS3 during E3.

You are so observant. You pointed something out that someone else already pointed out. Read a little first.

Anyways, other games come out on the PS that dont come out on XBox and besides, the XBox controllers suck.

The XBox controllers weren't all that great (especially the Duke) but the Xbox360 controllers are the best gamepads I've ever used.

PS controllers are better than XBox controllers.

I am a little disappointed in the way the Wii controllers look. They may work out but I prefer a two handed controller.

The Wii has the "nunchuck" attachment to make a two handed controller. It also has an optional traditional controller with two analog sticks and the same number of buttons as the Xbox and PS controllers.

I just dont know about the little attachment thing. It just doesnt strike me as useful, but I may be wrong, and hope I am.
