F...The PS3

The X360 will have GTA 4 in October of next year. You will be able to play Madden, GTA4, Halo 3 and the new killer app called Gears of War which comes out in November.

In regards to Sony - they still own the console market at this point but M$oft is making great strides in taking market share launching a year early and with an incredible online service that will NOT be matched by Sony. I am no fanboy by any means but I can tell you that M$oft and the X360 will own this generation of console gaming before its all said and done.

wait, i thought GTA was exclusive to the Playstation. Did they start a contract with Xbox360 or something? The only reason i wanted a PS3 was because it could play madden and gta, if that's not the case, i might buy an xbox360.

yeah, at E3 they announced GTA4 for xbox 360, among other things... no one was expecting it, but just revealing the GTA logo at the MS presser made the place go nuts.

That's friggin sweet, i guess i won't be buying a ps3 after all. Saves me quite a bit of money too.

I'll probably be going the Xbox route once the price comes down a bit, and I'll probably also be going with Nintendo as well. PS3 is just too overpriced coming out the shoot.

wii really looks good... cheap, and with the in house games (smash bros, mario, etc) and the rom archive, they've really made a nice place for themselves below the fray.

Buy a good video card, a decent processor, and a shitload of ram and have the best gaming machine you can get. PC games are so much better, in general than Consoles. There are only very certain types of games that play better on consoles. Racing games, and sports games. But, if you buy a controller for the comp it's exactly the same. You can even skip a monitor and set it up to go through your TV if size is an issue.

i tend to agree, but games like mario galaxy and uper smash brothers brawl won't be on a pc, and even if they were, probably wouldn't play as well with the special controller etups and whatnot.

Sports games can play well on your PC now that M$oft has developed their wireless controller to connect to a PC via USB. PC's are great, but you want good online gaming fun, the xbox is where its at.

nes games? pssh... be a man, get alien soldier and sonic. sega has all the good stuff.

or you can download turbo grafix 16 games like Bonk :P

the sega games I want r Shining Force 1&2, Shining in the Darkness, Altered Beast, Killer Instinct, Landstalker, Sonic, X-Men, and Aladdin among others.

u'll start to see more of that now with the costs of some games being developed going up to around $25 million a piece because exclusive games just won't be cost effective anymore and exclusive games will be predominantly those made by Sony or Microsoft themselves.
