I am just sitting and watching all the mayhem with the PS3 release, the Xbox 360 specials and also the upcomming Wii....
Any of you will be tempted to invest in one ?
I won't...at least until prices drops significatly...
On the meantime, let's get some caliente coffee [img]graemlins/coffee.gif[/img] [img]cool.gif[/img]
I haven't had a video game console since the Commodore 64.
I know better. If I had a video game in my house I wouldn't do anything else until I beat the game. I'm the same way with jigsaw puzzles.
If I have time at the end of the work day, I'll play this version of solitaire. I won't leave work until I beat it. I've stayed an hour and a half over once...for a stupid solitaire game!
I did however found from the closet some classic games that I am playing with my kids, and have a lot of fun....

I've gotten good enough at Scrabble to finally beat my mother. She's a pro!

Andy I know what you mean, I have a PS2 at home and when we bought it we bought Star Wars Lego and Star Wars Battlefront with it. I played Star Wrs LEgo till I finished it then no more. I played Harry Potter and the Gobelet of Fire till I finish it then no more. And since I've beaten Tiger Woods I almost stopped completely playing PGA Tour 2005

Some company should make an "intelligent" game with different ways to solve it and other alternative endings. I think that the PS3 might have that advantage since more data can be loaded on a single disk....
In fact, they could sell additional world or destinations, or make them available online, if someone just want to jump the fence and not only follow the same path...

Hi guy's!
I've got a PS2, but I hardly touch it anymore.
Last week I rented the 360 with a friend, damn taht thing kick ass!
I wasn't sure wich one I should buy between the PS3 ans the 360, but right now, I'm lookig at the games that are coming up, and the 360 as a clear advantge for me. Rainbow Six Vegas, Assasin's Creed and a few other I can't remember the names right now. As for the PS3, only Metal Gear Solid 4 is tempting me.
Anyway, I'll wait before I buy one though. Maybe if I can find a used 360 I'd think about it.

Back in the day, I had an atari 2600. I eventually became bored with it & sold it. Many moons ago, I bought a PS2. I eventually became bored with it & sold it. I am now considering getting a PSP, but knowing my track record, I have a feeling that if I get it, I will eventually become bored with it. Fuck it, I'll prolly get one anyway.
I have pre-booked a Wii and will probably get either a PS3 or 360 to but that is for later

Mornin' Folks!
Video Games?
Can't say I've really ever played any............
(well, maybe pong when it was in every table-top in every gin mill for a few)
but I'm the bomb at Pinball [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Too bad pinball doesn't translate well to the home console market... I loves me some silver ball, but never was skilled at it.
With all the hype over this generation of consoles, it's a good time to stock up on more titles for some of the systems I have, or maybe finally move up to the last generation. Gamecube, PS2, and original X-Box should be reasonably priced this year, and it looks like a good time to check out a handheld. Although, with that first mortgage payment looming, I should probably hold off... [img]redface.gif[/img]
'Sides, I have plenty of games to keep me busy even if they aren't the hot new eye candy. Link slices stalfos and octorocks just as good now as he did 20 years ago. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I won't seriously consider next-gen until such time as they seriously consider some realistic pricing. I will almost definitely go for the PS3 when and if that happerns.
As it is, there are several dozen games for the PS2 that I've been interested in, but never bought. Probably will, now.
For the time being, I am playing through Marvel Ultimate Alliance for the second time. Needless to say, I choose Thor in his classic costume, form a team only when absolutely necessary, and bound across the Marvel U happily kicking ass. I could do this for ages, don'tchaknow...
