The next gen revolution is just around the corner. We've all seen what Microsofts 'Jump the Gun' console can do, and how many break.....

With the holidays fast approaching, and the manufacturers struggling to whip thier already triple over-timed workers at a rate to keep up with production, we see what its going to come down to.

From what I see so far the Xbox 360, currently priced at 300USD for the base model, and 400USD for the premium system, isn't what people (or at least I) expected. It sports some decent games, and I have to say I will never grow tired of zombie bashing in Dead Rising. However, can it keep up its already bloated pricing? What with the risks of random hardware failures and poor XBOX game ports? (by that I mean playing the old xbox games) I hope it drops its price to compete for the holidays considering the demand won't be as high for the second rate system anymore. (Dreamcast flashbacks)

Then there is the Nintendo Wii (Formerly known as Revolution) Which sports a number of nice features, including the online downloadability of any old nintendo game (nes through n64 i believe) and the ability to play gamecube. (which is good to me because I thought gamecube sucked, but I liked a couple games) This system seems to have promise. The controller system looks to be something of an admirable adjustment to the gaming world, especially for such games as Zelda and Metroid. Also the typical FPS game will benefit from aiming with that controller. All this for only ~250USD is a GREAT deal. I definately plan to get one of these joyboxes myself.

Last, but definately not least, is the much anticipated PS3. What wasn't much anticipated however is the rediculous price tag. Projected 600USD shelf price is not something that even the great PS3 should bear. The games no doubt look breath taking, and Sony has never let me down as far as ANY of its electronics go. (monitor, speakers, disc drive, PS2, ect...) Aside from that, this console really doesn't bring much expected to the table besides titles. Blu-ray sure... I just havent hopped on that band-wagon yet. It's just the next generation of CD formatting, wont be long til we get BR-R and BR-RW drives for 200 bucks, and then a year later the same drive from newegg for 40 bucks.


So it boils down the the almighty question.... which, if any of these, have you or will you be choosing? Me? Probably in the order of Wii, 360, PS3... spaced over the period of a whole year.

PS3 Then whereever it goes from there.
600 hundered USD... '(

Wii, maybe 360 later, or maybe just an Xbox.

How about a new computer next summer that'll blow them all out of the water?

That's mhat I'd choose.

Yeah a new comp is on my list as well, but you cant play Zelda on PC.

E*snipe*s

You also don't get the wii's controller or games that'll actually use it.

Order of obtainment wiill be Wii > 360 > PS3

Wii.

We should turn this thread into a discussion about SSBB and how much *** it will kick.


Also, we should dedicate this thread to discussing a massassi SSBB tournament. A tournament in which I will undoubtably smoke you all.

Sorry bud but in SSB 64, I WAS GOD... me vs 3lvl9s with 10 lives wouldnt last 5 minutes.

If I ever get any of them, it'll be the Wii.

**** you all. As long as I get Roy or Fox, I will be unstoppable. You all are mere flys in the face of my fiery wrath.

Yeah. I can beat three jigglypuffs too.


I'll smoke all of you.

lol that powderball wasnt even a character, it was just something pointless for the kiddies to drool at in that pokemon era. I think the hardest person on that game was link or fox.

Fox > *.

I'd ruin you with captain falcon in that game.

Why would they put Jigglypuff in when they had freaking Pikachu? I mean come on!



Obviously Jigglypuff is the character all the pros use. Sort of like Dan.

I'd love to take you on.

And I'd love to ruin your face all over the screen.


But we need atleast a month between game release and tournament. I need to learn who my new favorite is.

First of all, if we all own the real cartridge, we can all play the ROM online, legally. Secondly, CAPT FALCON OWNZZZZ thats who i use... speed and power...

Only downside to playing on PC online is you gotta have a faster than DSL connection if you want to beat controller lag.

Hmmm. I didn't realize N64 emulators even worked that well.

Yeah theres a couple good ones, me and my friend play SSB and F-Zero on occasion, but he had DSL when we played and sometimes I lost him or he had controller lag.

SSB64 was far easier than SSB:M, and I rock at SSB:M. Hell, SSB64 is child's play to beat LVL9 CPUs...

The only thing I don't like is they toned down Fox's fire attack between SSB and SSB:M.

Probably none.

Maybe I'll build/buy a DX10 computer but that's it I bet.

I never bothered to get a gamecube.. not enough on it that i wanted. So no SSB:M for me

Much anticipated ps3?

Seriously, I've yet to hear of anyone with any interest in it at all.

Honestly. I'm not trying to start a fight here or anything. I've just not heard of anyone (bar one or two in massassi) who could care less if the ps3 just popped out of existence.

*shrugs* must be your community :p

I'll stick to PC.

You clearly never learned how to play as Jigglypuff.
You probably think that "sleep" was just some silly animation, don't you?

-Admittedly, the source material suggests that Sleep should heal her, and the in-game explanation for the attack manes no sense at all, but it's still awesome.

But you'll NEVER hit me with it, because I'll throw something at you or blast you LONG before then.

one on one yes, you'd never hit. But who knows what can happen in an all in brawl.

I'll be getting a Wii, and only a Wii. My brother's getting a PS3 so there's no point in me buying one, and the 360 didn't hold my interest for long after I saw what the Wii was capable of.

On SSB for the 64 I used Link and DK, but then when SSBM came out they...did something to DK which made him crap. It's like they gave him the large frame of Bowser but without the weight advantage. So now I use Marth

Forgot to mention, I'll almost certainly play as Snake in Brawl. If he somehow turns out to be crap then I'll naturally learn another character, but he'll be my priority.

Kirby had an insta-kill move in the N64 version. Push someone a little of a ledge and use the blue knife attack (B + up if I remember) and send them spiraling down (even if they have plenty of health).

They took that move out in SSB:M...

A friend of mine uses Kirby, and all of his attacks are over-powered (we also only play on 200% damage). I use Pikachu mainly for aerial attacks and Thunder.

I'll never buy a console.

Donkey Kong should ahve gotten the Coconut Gun as his b-smash. I mean, they use the DK rap from DK64, which makes reference to the weapon, yet the chaacter is lacking.

-Lazy.

I can't wait to see what the secret characters will be like.

Xbox 360 will have Halo 3, so I've gotta get that. Then maybe a PS3 later on when it's had some good games come out.

Wii, maybe after I have those two.
