[Question] So which system are you getting?

I don't have money for any systems now, so I chose the no money option. I never get systems at launch anyways, because I want to watch out for bugs/technical problems that come with the initial release, and I want to wait for some more games to come out first. And then at that point, a price drop is usually approaching, so I'll wait another couple weeks to save myself some money.

As of right now, the Wii holds more interest in my mind, based on the games announced.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Who the hell would vote they have no interest in video games and be at gamingforce???

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Sass, duh. But it's still a bit of a dumb option since we're in the General Video Gaming forum.

Anyways, if there was a "Wii first, XBox 360 later" option, that's probably what I'd have picked. This basically sums up my reasoning. And sorry, Sony, the PS2 was too much of a hyped-up disappointment for me to put down $550 for Metal Gear Solid 4.

Wii is a no-brainer, since it's the cheapest and has my three most anticipated titles: Twilight Princess, Heroes and SSBB. Yes, of course I realize that Twilight Princess is on Gamecube, but after Matt Casamassina's impressions, I'm sold on the Wii version:

spoiler'd quote for long:

Twilight Princess may have started as a GameCube title, but it finished a Wii one. There remains this faction of gamers that refuses to accept the possibility. You know who you are. You continue to argue that because the controls were originally designed for the GameCube pad there is no hope for the Wii build. You say that your arms will get tired using the Wii remote. You speak of mirrored worlds and right-handed Link. And you know what? It's all crap. If you have the means to buy Twilight Princess for Wii and you still get it for GameCube, you are a fool. And I state that without meaning to suggest that the GCN iteration is flawed - it isn't. It's an amazing swan song for Nintendo's older system, so if you've got no other option you're still golden. But that said, it's not as good as the Wii incarnation. In fact, were it up to me and not Nintendo (and in my dreams, it is), I'd have scrapped the GCN build altogether, forcing everyone to exclusively buy the Wii version.

As for the 360, it depends on how many of its good games come out for PC. If the number is significant, my money is better spent on PC upgrades and a 360 controller for PC.

Wii. Mainly because its cheaper and looks inventive. Although I love Playstation, the price it too much. Besides, I am trying to save to buy a new computer...

I was speaking idiomatically.

I've got a possible line on 2 PS3s from where I work, so I might pick up those, one to keep and one to resell. If I can, that means I"m getting both at launch, and if I can't, it means I"m stuck with the Wii until around March or so.

How ya doing, buddy?

Sneak King is the ony reason for me to get an XBOX.




Halo can some too I guess...

FELIPE NO

I don't have the money to buy all. Even if I did, I'd still buy the Wii and only the Wii. PS3? I'll just go over to my friends/cousins etc for those.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Has Tube claimed the poll is rigged yet?

But yeah whatever. I'll be buying Wii. Who knows, maybe one day in the future I'll purchase a 360 or PS3, it really depends on the format war I spose. And thats a long long way in the future too. Money after Wii will be going towards travel and an iMac.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Gonna get a Wii, but i'm gonna wait till around my birthday in march to pick it up. As it stands now, i have a myrriad of games i have yet to finish in my library, as well as FFXII and Kingdom Hearts up next in the purchasing line up. By March, hopefully they will have more titles out, or at least will have announced more titles, and i can tide myself over with Zelda until i get ahold of future titles.

I'll probably pick up a PS3 around late '07 to early '08. I'm hoping there will be at least a slight price drop by then. At the moment PS3 is basically on the edge of qualifying for my money, but i'd still like to see more titles out that will totally leave me in awe.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Not getting either, but not necessarily because I'm not interested. I just don't like the buy systems on launch. I eventually plan on getting a Wii, and that will likely be all. I may get it sooner if my sister really presses the issue.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I will have to get a PS3 to play Silent Hill 5.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Not getting any for a long time, maybe at all, who knows? I still haven't seen a enough decent games for me to buy anything. The only thing that comes any close to look decent is Castle Crashers for the XBox 360 and I'm not going to buy a console for a single game.

Whatever happend to good games anyway? I was out of the gaming scene for 5 years, from 2001 (death of DC) to 2006 (bought a GC, then a Xbox) and the difference is amazing. While there was a huge amount of excelent games on DC I can count by fingers the good games on these 2 plataforms.

When more shmups, Jet Set Radio's and Shenmue's kind of games return I'll think about getting a new console, 'till then either I'll pass or I'll get these when the price is right (100€ or less).

I was speaking idiomatically.

PS3. Of course. Since I enjoy playing real games. The console will also serve as my media centre to go along with my 60 inch widescreen LCD and 6.1 surround system I plan to purchase but never be able to afford. I also plan on purchasing a Wii. Just because. Although I likely will wait until next holiday season before I do purchase one of the next gen consoles. Which one I purchase first will depend on how much money I don't mind parting with and what the game situation is looking like for each console at the time of purchase.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'm getting a Wii at launch. Zelda and several party games are coming out and it will be a blast. PS3 has a mediocre launch line-up just like every Sony system before it. Can't say I'm really jazzed about it's future line-up of "big name" titles either...I'll wait for reviews. I'll probably buy a PS3 eventually, but not for another year, at least.

FELIPE NO

I chose the last option on the poll, that's why I'm getting a Wii at launch coz it's non-game gimmick shit lolol. And that was mainly due to the TRU free game offer (which turned out to be Open Season holy crap) so I'll be switching to Myer because their free game's better. Although not by much. Sup GT Pro.

Obviously I'm going to end up with all three systems eventually though. Even if one of them comes down to a Saturn style 'cheaper than a big mac meal' death kick purchase. I am a nerd afterall. I would have bought a 360 by now if it wasn't for Australian publishers being absolute fuckwits and charging $120 for the games. Cut that shit out already wow, it's not 1992 anymore. PS3's out of the question for quite a long time considering it's gonna be one thousand dollars~

There better be a damn awful fantastic big selection of Simple 2000 games for it by the time I get to it.

How ya doing, buddy?

Going for Wii then PS3 later. That is if I get a job, then it'll be nothing for a very long time...

I'm doin it like this because SSBB comes out before MGS4. Two games I cannot live without, although my Wii will only be used for SSBB, the PS3 will find its uses as more Final Fantasies and other similar things worth playing. Fighting games most likely, since that's all I gots time for nowadays.

HOPEFULLY they'll totally crack into the ps3 via the swap magic or PSP-like antics, cause I really don't feel like buying legit games, rather purchase games in CHINA for 5 dollahs each, or download, or something like that. I'm sure they'll think of something, those crazy internet people with their hax.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I can't wait for them to crack Wii. 512 Megs of flash memory? Fuck that. I don't even care how much it'll cost to upgrade it.

Most amazing jew boots

Wii and PS3 later simply because no games for both system have caught my attention so far, though my cash reserve is good for one of them right now.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Definitely a Wii first. The PS3 will be later, but I don't know how much later. But I also want a 360 soon too. I might wait for bonuses to come around, at which point I'm inclined to choose "..infinite monies." But I'm not getting them all at once... meh, "Wii first, something later."

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I voted "PS3 first, Wii later", although I might just end up picking up the Wii at random soon after launch. Definitely looking more forward to PS3 though.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I've already got a 360. I got SO bored, and couldn't wait for the PS3. I'll be missing MGS4 (3 just happens to be my favourite game) and basically every good RPG, but I was SO desperate. All I can say is that Gears of War (And Assassin's Creed) better knock my socks off.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'd like to get a PS3, but the system is way too expensive for my little wallet. I'll realistically settle for a 360 some time next year, but until then I'm perfectly fine with my Sexstation Deux.

FELIPE NO

actually if I do get the Wii, luckily I have a friend who owns a shop, so he'll eventually get one and I can trade stuff in for store value for it, eventually getting one for free, but the PS3 will be my first buy, and I hope Dead Rising comes out for it

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Im going to go ahead and get the wii play some zelda until ssbb comes out. then years later when or if ps3's price goes down i will get it. Tekken 6 looks friggin kickass and it looks like they might make a tekken tag 2 unless the screens i saw are fake...they look pretty real.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

ill get wii first, its cheaper and have smash brawl on it!!
ill get the ps3 when the price drops a little, or when the next Final Fantasy is released
Ill get XBOX 360 when the premium set price drops.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
