you forgot the best of gaming systems, the one you are viewing this site with. the PC is the best system out there, no doubt about it.
the PS3 is expensive, but as i said, i would buy it for a next FF7. God of War 3 would also be nice, since they couldnt really go anywhere with 2 because of same graphics. GTA is gut wrenching, and to know that Sony is low enough to rely on it readily is absolutely revolting. in all, i like my PC, then the xbox's, then nintendo line (havent played the Wii), then the PS2. i think that microsoft has the power to blast the PS3 out of the fight in the next 1-2 year(s) if they produce another really good console. something that includes everything it does now and can do so much more, that is what is in their grasp. if they grasp it, square-enix will be knocking on Microsoft's door. in the end, American console maker will triumph over the world, if it is not already.
im sorry bill gates, i like the sony i have always been a sony and nintendo fan, the wii is ok, but i hope the ps3 dominates and in doing so the price drops

If you ever meet a hafling and a hungry dragon you dont have to outrun the dragon, you only have to outrun the hafling.
I personally dont like ps3, the graphics look the same as 360, theres like 3 exclusive games to ps3, and its price is wayyyyy to high. if i had to make a choice between the wii,ps3, or xbox360 i might have to go with 360 personally becuase of gears of war and about 80% of my friends quit socom to play saints row. anyway ive recently played ps3 its nothing special no new controller, system is pretty much the same, only thing different from ps2 are the few extra dots it puts on your screen.
Heres my list
1 COMPUTER (diablo 2,wcIII,starcraft,guildwars)
2 360 (gears of war , saints row)
3 wii (zelda , super smash bros)
4 ps2 (gituar hero1+2 , socom 2... 3 sux)
5 ps3 (cant think of any godly games)

DIABLO = DEVIL its not supposed to be a nice game autostats are rediclous lack of pots is not welcome if it aint broke dont fix it! (diablo2)
im sorry bill gates, i like the sony i have always been a sony and nintendo fan, the wii is ok, but i hope the ps3 dominates and in doing so the price drops
at least i stick with american products, and i will also laugh when microsoft makes their next console and sony tries to "compete" with that one two. may this time around they will be 2 years behind.....
as for the Wii, ill explain something i strongly believe in. i believe in fun and in games. when i think of any console or game, i think "fun"!! when i think of Wii, i think "exercise". exercise=boring, exercise=a chore, exercise=forced exertion to be rid of fat. exercise=not fun. therefore, the Wii is not a good gaming use. maybe for parties, or with friends, but not by yourself.
i gotta agree with a few of yaz i think the pc owns all for games, nothing is better but if i had to choose i choose the xbox. I Hate bill Gates but i hate sony even more :-)
bill gates is a god everyone, a true genius. not only is he HOLY MOTHER OF JESUS, OMFG, WTF rich, but with that he gives to many charities, he furthens our computer technology, he rigged the xbox 360, and is starting high-tech schools in LA and in New York.
As a proud owner of ps3 and xbox360, I gotta say overall I am far more impressed with the xbox 360 simply because of the networking. Free online ps3 comes with a heavy burden, it lags and crashes quite frequently which makes it impossible to enjoy. Bill gates has plans to wipe out all future competition with the next gen console. About 1-2 years after the release of Halo3 (which btw is going to own all games, Except Diablo3 of course) A new microsoft console will be hitting the shelves, and owning all. Mark my words.
P.s the nintendo Wii has got to be the funnest damn thing I ever played with friends or family but It can be seriously hard to get into single player. I have always been a loyal nintendo fan, but bill gates the golden god is just to damn good.
Do you guys realize that buying a blu-ray dvd player alone costs $800? Sony provides a dozen other attractive features for a whopping $500-$600. To fully utilize the graphics on the ps3 you'll have to buy a tv capable of 1080p, which I have. When blu-ray dvd's and 1080p's get rolling in a couple years you'll be thankful you invested in a CHEAP playstation3.
WII is good if you enjoy pratically gamecube graphics and all of the cute Mario games.
Oh yeah. Xbox and PS have different reading systems, Sony had blu-ray, and I can't remember Mixrosofts. Anyhow, whichever one of those becomes dominant will spread to the consoles.

I completely agree with you on the free online part. They give you free online but they don't invest any of their time into it. Hell i've even seen some people use game sharks online, now that's just bad. There were only a few games that i would buy the PS3 for (which in my canadian town is riduciously(sp?) overpriced at 750$) and those are FF7 remake or just redone with better graphics and nothing changed, FFXIII but i don't know anymore, maybe another Onimusha. And I don't know if you guys know this yet, but it seems that the Blue Ray will completely bomb. Why would anyone want to have to go out and purchase a whole blue ray collection when they already have so many DVD's? It just doesn't make sense.
On a side note, the Wii looks to be very fun. Plus the new Zelda looks friggin awesome and the whole controller concept looks good too.
Are you kidding me? A blu-ray disk can store up to 50Gb!!! I mean come on, the DVD is going to be replaced by either one of these systems very shortly. There are supporters for both sides, but as always, only one system will prevail. Supporters for Blu-ray inlcude:
Apple
Dell
HP
Hitachi
LG
Mitsubishi Electric
Panasonic
Pioneer
Philips
Samsung
Sharp
Sony
Sun Microsystems

i personally dislike the ps by the kind of content it has supported (grand theft auto) but i like it alot because the FF series are what keep it alive. i wonder if square enix will produce a remake or expansion to the FF7 series. anyone who knows me well even on this forum knows that im addicted to the series. so far, sony is still being outsold by microsoft, which is saying something.
traditionally ive stuck with nintendo because its a lot more of family fun kind of thing. i mean, pikachu, roy, link, and mario beating the living crap out of each other is about as good as it gets.
microsoft is what i like nowadays, and i cant wait till i get my hands or an xbox360, and when halo3 comes out. i believe that halo is one of the greatest things to happen to gaming, even though i at first hated it for the hype it produced.
Christ you obviously aren't a very big follower of digg. Let me point out some of the stories for you that show you why the ps3 will loose this time and the other systems are a better bet.
All front page stories from JUST the last 7 days, I hope that this shows you the advantages of buying another console, and that is developer support is going to be lackluster on the ps3. Sure the ps3 is pretty and cool and there may be a few games for it but ps3 has lost most of their prime time exclusives and there is little innovation for the system. So I say it's time to stop putting up with sony's arrogant crap and move on.

That makes sense o you know if prices weren't continually dropping, PS3 is not the cheapest blu-ray player, just go take a look around there are cheaper and they are getting even cheaper that's to say if Blu-ray even wins this "war". Also LCD tvs are expected to drop in price signifcantly this year. so I don't get your point basically....are you saying it costs too muhc? Why waist your money on a substandard player built into the ps3 when you could wait 6 months to a year, find which format is currently winning choose that one and purchase the player for $200-300 dollars if that is what you are looking to do is play movies.
If you want to have fun and play video games, maybe the 360 or wii is a better option.
You will never get Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy or Devil May Cry on a 360 or Wii. Therefore, I will not buy a 360 or a Wii.
almost every one is going to stick to dvd anyways.
Now where have I heard that before... Right! That's what the cassette-makers said when the CD came!
Seriously, there is no stopping progress. DVD WILL, and I stress WILL, disappear. The only question is whether HD or Blu ray follows it.
And what system works fawlessly from the beginning? None. If there are issues with blu ray these will be adressed. As I said, it isn't some shit-system Sony came up with in their sleep (read above posts).

actually, i think they are the dying stages of a disk. flash is whats going to be in. i mean, my Creative Zen vision: M can hold up to 30 GBs of storage, and can play videos on it. not only that, but all i need is an additional cable and i can hook it up to my tv so that whatever plays on the player plays on the tv. the technology will only get better, seeing as 15 years ago people would have never beleived that you could play a movie in your hand as you travel around. even 5 years ago it was barely an idea. my point is that flash will probably going to be the next thing, HD and Blue Ray being only a little fab.
sony didnt come up with the PS3, they took quite a bit of time to make it. after all, it was supposed to debut in around the same the 360 did, but instead took about a year to come out. even then, the 360 is still selling more than the wii and ps3 combined. not only this, but microsoft has had all this time to start working on a new system, a system that might better the ps3 for equal or lower price. im all for sony to make it, because competition lowers the price i have to pay for something, but sony has to step it up if they wish to exist in this four sided duel for supremacy.
All I gotta say is- I'm fine with my Xbox 360. Playstation 3 sure is cool, but I'd rather get more bang out of my buck. I don't like Final Fantasy or Metal Gear Solid, so I really am missing nothing.

How is Gears of War, anyway? I saw a trailer for it and it looked kind of intriguing.
