[General Discussion] Which Systems to buy

I'm finally going to cave in and purchase a 360 (my store has a used 360 Elite), but I'm only purchasing it so I can play Mass Effect, and maybe Crackdown. Don't give a shit about Halo.

I've got a PS3 and a Wii already. I've used my Wii....about three times. That's not necessarily a knock against the system, but a.) I don't have 4 people over at my house at any given time, b.) I don't really want any of the games for it, and c.) I only bought it for the NiGHTS sequel. Speaking of which, can't wait for the PS2 port of the original game.

I use my PS3 constantly though. Streaming music files from my comp to blast it through my 5.1s, watching blu-ray movies (which is something I thought I'd never really buy into, but hey when you've got the player...), and playing several PS3 titles as well as my existing PS2/1 library. Games like Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet and Clank, Warhawk, Folklore, and the majors that'll swing through next year, like Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, and a personal favorite of mine, White Knight Story. And there will inevitably be a Jak and Daxter title, another Ratchet title...etc.

But that's just me. My advice to you is not to look at what's already out, but look to see what's coming out. By August '08, there will be a clear list of exclusives for you to look at, and then take what's coming out and compare it to what's already available, and buy what'll give you the most for your money.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
