RIght, so why spend more for a PS3 then? Why wait for PS3 launch when I
can buy Madden on 360 this week? Why Smackdown vs Raw on PS2 when I can
get the superior version on 360?

So Dead Rising on PS2 or PC? Saint's Row coming to PC? Gears of War?
Fight Night Round 3? While some may come to PC, but when? Lets not
forget, Halo2 *still* is not on PC. Also, it takes a powerful and
expensive PC to run GRAW, Oblivion, etc well. And I'd rather play on my
57in HDTV and surround sound system, than on my laptop. Again, you are
sounding like a fanboy...

Well it depends on how good PS3 and Wii is online. Lets not forget, PS2
is online. But it was pretty sloppy and inconsistent.

Again, you are drunken from the $ony kool-aid. PS3's implementation of
"motion based control" is a joke when compared to Wii's.

The big N is once again doing the unexpected, and

And sony is doing a poor job of copying N and M$ ideas...

If you want to watch more poorly acted cutscenes..enjoy! I bought MGS2
on PS2 and got bored with it.

I, like most ppl, won't be spending $700+ on a console...and I won't
buy the 'tard version either...

Yes, with everyone, even PS fanzines, dissing PS3...

Keep drinking the kool-aid... Many people have learned from the PS2
hype...

Well Capcom has said they will support 360 more due to strong sales of
Dead Rising. Another 360 exclusive game from Capcom, Lost Planet, is
being released early next year. 360 will have a huge lead this year and
3rd parties want to make money. Thus many japanese developers, sega,
konami, capcom, From Software, etc will support 360.

Read any HD mag, most agree that it will take time for HDTV to make it
mainstream. There still is not that much HD content on TV and the high
def DVD battle will only result in more consumer confusion. DVD will
dominate movie sales for the next few years...
