Title: Which next-gen console will you buy?
Post by: neothe0ne on June 02, 2005, 08:47:33 pm: Nintendo Revolution
-Disc drive plays 12cm Revolution discs and 3in GameCube discs
-Smallest console
-Wireless controllers for Revolution (has four controller ports for GameCube controllers)
-Nintendo WiFi, free of charge and "better than Xbox Live", and WiFi ready out of the box
-Ability to download Nintendo first-party games from NES, SNES, and N64 free of charge; third-party games from NES, SNES, and N64 can be downloaded for a fee determined by the third-party
-Graphics by ATI, processor by IBM, includes 2 USB 2.0 ports
-Has the support of at least three major third-party developers, which include Square Enix and NamcoBandai
-Launch title will include Super Smash Brothers Revolution

Microsoft Xbox 360
-Can play both Xbox and Xbox 360 games according to MS
-Xbox Live (not free)
-Xbox 360 controllers are the same as Xbox S controllers, minus the black and white buttons
-Graphics by ATI
-Launch title will include Perfect Dark Zero

Sony PlayStation 3
-Cell processing
-Can play PS1, PS2, and PS3 games according to Sony
-Has no PS1/PS2 memory card slot (wtf?)
-Supports seven controllers through wireless Bluetooth
-Graphics by nVidia, 6 USB 2.0 ports
-Developers are assuming they can make PS3 games as good as pre-rendered movies shown at E3 (but they didn't say they were pre-rendered until after they were accused...)
-Has the support of Factor 5 in addition to many Japanese developers
-Most expensive and bulkiest next-gen console
-No known launch titles (that would interest anyone, at least ;))

Post by: Superyoshi on June 03, 2005, 05:44:08 am: I'm getting 360 first (it comes out Holiday 2005, before Rev. and PS3). Then Revolution, then finally PS3 (Yes, I'm getting all 3 >.>). But I'm looking forward to Revolution the most.

Post by: Sophih on June 03, 2005, 04:09:39 pm: You tell 'em Lacus!! GO PS3!! My ps2 has the hard drive(was required for FFXI) ,and i don't need memory cards so probally has built in memory or ummm well meow meow meow meow. get it?

Post by: Bladegash on June 03, 2005, 07:59:32 pm: At the rate I'm going, I probably won't get any...

Post by: neothe0ne on June 05, 2005, 11:09:08 am: Guess what? The slim PS2 doesn't support the hard drive, so Square Enix is throwing a fit at Sony. The PS3 has no memory card slot for PS1/PS2 memory cards, so how do you think you're getting your saves to the PS3? The PS3 isn't even confirmed to have a hard drive yet, and although it's very, very likely to, there are rumors it's not having one....

Post by: Lazlo Falconi on June 11, 2005, 07:36:19 pm: NNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINtendo, woo hoo!
Yes, I want this system for the absurdly awesome game that Nintendo is known for. I may get a 360, but probably not. I doubt I'll ever get a PS3 as the controller looks crappy, and I've never held much of a spot for Playstation on my TV stand.

I'm sure Sony'll fix the memory card issue. That just doesn't make sense not being able to save/load your PSX and PS2 games.

Title: Which next-gen console will you buy?
Post by: Buraqina on July 21, 2005, 08:09:47 am: PS3 no doubt. I've never played on Xbox or Gamecube, or any other platform really for that matter, and the games released on them have never made me wish "I want one of those!" and I doubt they ever will.
Playstation has always been "the one" for me, right from the PSX. Besides, Devil May Cry 4's release is going to be for PS3 - can't afford to miss it :D

"The PS3 has no memory card slot for PS1/PS2 memory cards, so how do you think you're getting your saves to the PS3?"
Hopefully they will fix that...people will want to be able to still play old games on the PS3, and it would be a big black mark in the naughty book if Sony didn't give us a slot for PS1/PS2 memory cards. I'm sure some people would be put off buying the PS3 it if didn't give us a slot for older memory cards, and I doubt Sony would want to lose the money and have many dissapointed potential buyers.
The PS3 isn't even released yet and must be still in the works with many tweaks being made (though don't ask me, I don't keep up to date with all the news x.x) - we can't make any assumptions yet :P

Besides, they'd better stick one in or they'll have all hell to pay from me :twisted: If it looks like they're not going to, I'll start a petition to get them to include a slot for the old memory cards!

Post by: RR on July 21, 2005, 08:46:33 am: either a revolution, a PS3, or both
Title: Which next-gen console will you buy?
Post by: Lazlo Falconi on July 21, 2005, 08:50:04 am: I may get a PS3 or XBox 360, but not until a while after they come out. There've never been more than a few games fro those systems appealing for me.

Post by: Crystalman on July 22, 2005, 01:19:40 am: Nintendo Revolution, im scared of it going out of buisness. lol
Title: Which next-gen console will you buy?
Post by: Faris on July 22, 2005, 01:24:52 am: I went for Revolution. I haven't played super smash brothers, but from what I've seen and heard, it sounds like a great game.
Title: Which next-gen console will you buy?
Post by: Lazlo Falconi on July 22, 2005, 05:07:57 am: It is one of the best fighting games ever, with a very original battle system. I swear by it.

Post by: RobotKnight Crystal on July 22, 2005, 07:23:01 am: LOL I may not even bother buying a PS2, whod say a PS3 XD I got enough old rpgs to play for the rest of my life XD
Title: Which next-gen console will you buy?
Post by: Peaches on July 24, 2005, 04:32:46 am: Revolution, and possibly a PS3 depending on what comes out for it. But I won't get either for a long time.
Title: Which next-gen console will you buy?
Post by: Lazlo Falconi on July 24, 2005, 08:37:29 am: I plan on owning a Revolution from launch, especially if there's a SmaBro game for it.
Title: Which next-gen console will you buy?
Post by: Dr. Mutagen on July 25, 2005, 04:07:30 am: I'll most likely get the Revolution, but that depends on whether or not I can scrounge up the money to do so (I figure that I will by the time it comes out, not that I'm concerned about getting it the moment it hits the shelves anyway).

Post by: Lazlo Falconi on July 25, 2005, 09:35:22 am: MMtL is down so I'll have to see it later... But what from what Swift says, I take it you've been given a bit more power. Funny, because every forum I've ever gone to... if you were an an admin, you practically owned the site, and the only time the real owner had to be brought in was when two other, lesser admins didn't agree on something.

Such as with me and NMX. I ended up banning him for awhile, till Nova showed up. XD

But yeah, NOW i can get rid of him whever I want.....Kekekekekkeke

And MMtL still works for me.

Post by: Jehuty on July 26, 2005, 01:37:05 pm: I plan on getting both a PS3 and a Nintendo Revolution... I like both of them and there's no way I'm going to pick just one.
