apples or oranges?, chocolate or butterscotch?, screw all this nonsense, I have all three consoles and enjoy playing them all. All 3 have their strengths and weaknesses. but in the end it all comes down to personal satisfaction. If you don't like it you don't have to trash it for the person next in line deciding which one to get. I wasn't sure which one I would like more so I bought them all and won't get rid of any.

I agree - I own all three and love them all. Each one has its strengths and weaknesses. I also get a much better selection of games by owning them all.

Why there is so much hate surrounding the console war is beyond me - let Sony and M/S fight. Trying to out do each other makes us the winners. Without competition just imagine what junk we would have and how much it would cost.

Good for Sony trying to improve their online experience.

Why are ppl so bothered about home?

all it is, is media hype to get you participating in a room filled with advertising and micro-transactions designed just to empty your wallet.

If you want this sort of experience visit second life as at least that's funny. in home there will be limited media streaming if any, that isn't advertising unlike secondlife when you can stream any web content to other users around you and in home there defiantly won't be any porn or quirky character designs because of the demographic that home will be targeted at, the 9 to 15 year olds.

if the motorstorm rip off map pack is anything to go by home will be charging unimaginable costs for premium items that you never actually own!

omg, what a marketing companies wet dream, next sony will be monitoring your usage and sending you custom made adds!!!!!!!!!

well from what i seen in many other threads is that you need a better paying job because all you can talk about is the price of a console.do you even own a console ps3,360,wii

No but borrowing them for a acouple months from a friend has given me plenty of insight, PS3 still has 2 huddler's to over come price and games, the 360 price V cost is still hardware issues vrs what it offers (US PC style games mostly) its not that its bad but the line up is just bearable enough to make it not worth any down time or extra cost of RMAing it.

the WII is good and probably offer more control options than pad only games on the other consoles but I would like more in game/os config options for controls for 350$.

Call me a hairy jaded loon if you must but I feel like the 7th generation has not delivered yet.

If sony can surpass the others and give gamers full control over the controls(setup pad/KB-mouse layout in the OS and sue that to run games with) then for me its worth every penny.

its not that the ps3 is bad or too expensive its just that it seems that the ps3 fanboys want the same thing as the M$ fanboys a good online service and a good game library.right now the 360 club has that and the ps3 club have to wait and they are like a bunch of spoiled brats.yes indeed the last go around they had it but now its the MS club turn and time to shine can they do this without too much hate from the sony fanboys.Hell no and i undersatand this if i paid 600.00 for a console and you paid 400.00 and have a 30% fail rate i would want mine to to have it all too.but even still with all thats going on with the 360 its still sell well in north america so it must be somthing that peolple like about the 360.can anyone tell me the answer.

And yes 3 or 4 Jrpgs dose not make he 360 less of a PC style console :P(the line up is diversifying nicely, the hardware needs a final push or too to be perfect)



I have had enough play time on all of them to see the nuances of them.

Now it dose not help I am a cheapsake who would rather pay a friend to borrow it than out right buy it and for 200$ over a year I have managed to play them and I am not "happy" with them, the 360 is a solid system with hardware issues if down time is a worry delay purchase for 6 more months(for the 65NM units to to be easier to find).

the PS3 is gettign a "core" unit at 399 by Xmas best time to tag one is then get acouple games with it and have fun, the system will finally be rocking next year with more games.

The WII is nothing sneeze at but if looks are nearly everything for you go with the others first, or wait both out and get a wii.

for em I will put 400$ into me PC and wait another 8 months before getting anything.

From what I hear the 65nm units have all but replaced the older defective systems in most stores, which is very good news.

The PS3 lineup for the next few months looks awesome, like 11 games Im after in only 3 months plus I now have decent enough internet for online play, cant wait.

I dont see why people have to have the latest and greatest graphics, I just got through the first Spyro the Dragon (PS1) game and it is right up there in my top 10 games of all time, along with several other awesome PS1 games that I still play.\

meh, keeping a PC gaming rig is way too costly, 99% of the reason I console game. Upgrades every month or so + all the hardware driver issues etc gets a bit to much for me even though I'm relatively tech savvy.

EDIT: The 360 is still 99% FPS games, you cant win a "console war" with only one genre, the 360 just doesnt cater to every audience.

I call the 360 a PC style console it might not have the control options of a PC but the games are very much like them, the 360 lacks deveristy in its line up that ontop of aging hardware will hurt it the most in the next few years, MS really needs to let people put thier own HDDs on it and let them fully use USB HDDs.....
The 65NM units have not saturated the market not ever single new 360 is one its a mix of old, hew 90nm with HDMI and 65NM on top of no SKU if you want to avoid "issues" putting it off a few more months wont hurt.

Once the PS3 core unit is out the PS3 will start picking some maybe by the end of 98 we'll have more optimized games for it, PS3 is moving up and thats a good thing.

The WII is a solid and fun system but between the controls and graphics it might turn some off.

I agree. and you know what (as a PS2 fanboy, mind the proof there), I'm all for the 360 online. I might even buy my first M$ console, but there's one thing that will never change. PS3 @Home will always be < 360 Live. No chance in Hell $ony will ever do better. They may try, but that war & all battles won by M$ long ago.

This is what i found out on home to kinda answer your question.


Quoted from an article i found
"We knew there was supposed to be a public beta in addition to Sony's invite-only private beta for Home, but we thought it was going to be similar to an open beta, where most anyone could join in and report bugs. Not so. Sony's own Jamie MacDonald described the scenario as this: "At the moment the closed beta is employees, trusted third-parties and people like that. An open beta will be a wider audience but it won't be open to everybody ... We haven't worked out the exact way of doing it but it will be invites to people to ask if they want to be part of it, and then depending on what the response is, we'll have to have some way of deciding who can and who can't take part."

So the next stage of Home will still be invite-only, but it'll reach a wider audience. After that beta concludes, the program will simply pop up on our XMB's after what we assume will be a low-key firmware update. MacDonald implies this by saying Home isn't the typical game, so it won't get a typical launch. "There isn't going to be this 'big bang' launch. That's how you do it in the web 2.0 world, if you're familiar with the launch of Gmail or something like that." Initially scheduled for an October release, with a public beta not yet out, we're estimating that Home will get pushed back to November. We could be wrong, though."

At least Home is "coming".
