I was really going to buy it on like the fist day it came out but now that I know the price tag I think im going to wait. See its $300 for the basic system package but you dont get a hard drive and you need a hard drive for everything. Anyways you can get the next up package deal for $400 with the hard drive but it comes with a bunch of other stuff i dont need. I figured that since i only play halo 2 im just going to wait till halo 3 comes out then buy my 360. How about you guys.

I'll probably give it a while until it costs alot less. Then again I might not even bother with the 360 or ps3 at all! Consoles have lost their magic for me.

I dont really think xbox's are a piece of crap they currently out power playstation 2 and gamecube but i do hear that the playstation 3 is going to be really fast maybe even faster than xbox 360.

oh yea, i was reading about that, they have these terms for console memory and xbox would be at something 8 and the ps3 is at 14 or something.. i don't remember but it's spos to be like .. really really fast so they can load the imaging better, so like when u watch the cin movies on final fantasy it runs super smooth and who knows maby even run a game totally in cinamitic gpahics. that would be cool eh?

Well ethier way, my money is going to a ps3.!

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Anyone who considers buying a console day of release has to have a long, hard look at what's on offer. It is always best to wait, especially when entering a market with hefty competition. Wait to see which one offers what you want - the big companies will promise you the moon before release day to get you to part with your cash, then seldom deliver for anything up to 12 months after the console has been on sale, if at all. (DreamArena? PlayOnline in the UK? Hmmm?)

Take for example the Nintendo DS and the PSP as a recent example. The DS came out the end of March. It was a stunning bit of kit, and being Nintendo, has the jeu de vivre you can expect from any Nintendo machine. However, here we are, post-PSP launch, and the DS is only just starting to bolster up its title line-up. The PSP had more games day of release than the DS had after six months. I mean, Mario Kart is only just here, and where the hell is the awesome Metroid game we were promised?? GAHHH!

Mind you, all those fools who waited for a PSP were sorely disappointed by slipping release dates, lack of units, crappy battery life and stupid loading times. Not to mention the rip-off price point of their UMD movies. The DS wins in terms of machine quality, but as always, lacks the sheer volume of software available.

So what's the moral of this tale?

Always best to wait for 6 months to a year before flashing the cash. By then, you know which console is for you. And you don't get stuck with a gaming turkey for Christmas.

I'm with Dan on this- I'll have to wait a while to see what happens after Xmas. I've never bought a console until it's been on the shelves for at least 6 months and if you wait a good year or two you'll not only make a more informed decision on what console is best for you, but save yourself a fair bit of cash due to price drop/s.

I was never huge on the original Xbox. I wonder if it's due to the fact it's an American piece of kit which lacked some of the quality Japanese games being produced for Japanese consoles, PS2 and Gamecube. I'm by no means against US games, but there's just something about the Japanese gameplay style and graphical attention to detail that I can't help but feel western-produced games lack.
