PS3 design officially revealed...

As I have said before, its always wise to wait several months at least before buying the system. Unless you 1.) have the scratch to spend, 2.) are able to find one amidst all the rush and hype come release time, and/or 3.) you are that obsessed over being one of the first to own one.

 

Hell, I waited a year and a half to two years before I bought my first PS2, and it was worth the wait, aside from it crapping out on me after a year of moderate play.

agreed. I finally got my PS2 for xmas 2002. It is hard to justify dropping 300 bucks on a new system when it just came out. If I have good job at launch time, maybe I will pick up PS3, if the launch titles are good.

Game Informer has comparison pics of the X-Box 360. It's smaller than an X-Box and a little bit bigger than the original PS2.

History dictates that you should never buy a first gen Sony console at launch. Unless you like bugs and equipment errors, that is.

Duly noted.

I waited almost a year to buy my X-Box.

 

I still wont get the PS3 though. I have a funny feeling though, if both are released in the same year, I think the PS3 sales are going to drop a bit.

Nintendo are always a safe bet for launch consoles in terms of quality and customer reassurance. I've bought (or had bought for me) every Nintendo system around its launch minus the Gamecube and I've never once had any trouble. My N64 still plays as well today as the day I recieved it in 1996.

 

No doubt, the Rev will be a cheaper alternative off the bat as well. So I might go the way of the Big N to start with, then move onto Sony once they've had time to stop their latest system from exploding on players.

Yeah, probably gonna go with a Rev first and PS3 later as well, although N'll have to come out with some kind of miracle with it. Plenty of people have soured on them, and their virtual no-show on the Revolution front at E3 is a PR nightmare.

 

Mistwalker will likely move 360's to more US gamers and a handful of Japanese gamers, but I don't think Square Enix (whose games are going to sell regardless) is going to pledge much support to MS.

 

X-Box gets a direct port of FFXI, and GC got Crystal Chronicles. Gee. Wow. And SE's rumored to be bringing a FF:CC to Revolution...again, who cares? Safe bet Square-Enix is probably going to be fiercely loyal to Sony.

 

My EB had one of those used Playstation pads that are virtually identical to the PS3 pad...it felt terrible.

Looks better than the XBox 360 at least.

Are it serious? The thing looks like a PC scanner.

[El Psycho Diablo 0]

Well..he has a point..

[Guest El Satanico]

I like it. I'd take one in white, but the silver would match better.

I like the commentary that goes with that comic better.

 

"So, some filthy gaijins already have their console made? OMG n00bs, look at that Perfect Dark framerate!!"

 

"Well, that E3 thing is coming up..."

 

"So? Roll that beautiful pre-rendered bean footage. It'll probably work just as well on the stupid gaijins as it did against Segagagaga."

 

Honestly, though, I expect a killer showing for the PS3 and Revolution at E3 2006.
