Yeah, that revolution is sounding pretty good. (WTF indeed with the no ps1/ps2 memory card slot on PS3? WTF indeed...

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.

Revolution for me. It just sounds the best.

I went with Playstation 3. A life without Armored Core isn't a full life for me.

At the rate I'm going, I probably won't get any...

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....

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.

i really have no clue what im gonna get, so ill wait until three of my friends get em all and then ill can test all 3

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

"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

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!
