    The specs on the thing are pretty amazing. I've never been overly interested in the Xbox but the 360 has caught my attention. If nothing else I am excited to hear that they are making a new Perfect Dark game. It will be interesting to see what additional information is uncovered about the system at E3.

    I agree with Thrax, plus that link above to the PS3 details with all the "kiddie speak" and bad spelling.

    Both platforms and their related games are yet to be released. Xbox 360 will be 1st to market with tighter PC/Xbox intergration by the looks.

    anyhow we'll see which one gets the public interest - better specs does not always = successful market.

    No mouse+no keyboard=no conversion.

    I like the revolution. Heh, there won't be a single game in Nintendo's entire library that it can't play. (Except GB titles)

    And there'll probably be an adapter for even that :)

    Nintendo: Pwning all yall's asses. Again.

    Haha, sorry Thrax, I do love Nintendo. But if we can afford it, my brother and I are getting the Revolution and one of the other two. Not sure which. But still - imagine that sucker (either/or) with Linux on it. Then we can Fold. That's, what, 6 consoles on the Xbox, and who-knows-how-many on the PS3. :eek:

    You guys seem to think that stanford is going to be writing a folding client for linux/ppc ;D
  • entropyentropy Yah-Der-Hey (Wisconsin)

    Wait. What? FRICK! I didn't think about that. I assumed Linux is Linux, and that's that.

    Boooo, stupid...Linux...PowerPC...Xbox...JUNK!! ;D:(

    XBOX 360 and PS3 will both be mine and the Revolution, well that will be for playing older games and that's it

    Can't wait tell The end of 2005 win the XBOX 360 is comming out.
    And the PS3 in 2006

    I think I will buy all three and put them side by side since they are all really cool and slim.

    XBOX-Graphics
    PS3-Game Selection
    "Revolution"- good for previous games
    :thumbsup: Let the Next Generation Video Game Console War Begin :thumbsup:

    Don't forget to check out xbox.com and nintendo.com for current events on E3

    Dude. You can't possibly be serious. No one has a clear idea of the in-game graphics of any of these systems. All we've seen so far is pre-rendered crap at E3. Also, nobody knows the full list of games that will be available at these systems' launch. THE ONLY THING one might assume right now is that all three systems will have awesome graphics, especially compared to what we play now. From the looks of it I believe the PS3 will have the best graphics. Nobody knows what makes the "Revolution" so revolutionary, so nothing can be said about its games either. Some people take the Gamecube's reputation as a "kiddie system" just a little too far. :shakehead

    I saw a magazine at work sometime last week, it had in game screenshots of a few games coming out. And whatever game I saw that reminded me of a Halo type game, but MUCH better graphics had me drooling. Better than DOOM3!

    Ohh but if we can't live then we can't play.
    No food, no electricty, water etc...

    That would cause your gaming ability to drop as you are blaying PG3 on the final lap and boom your stomach caves in and your lips dry to a bloody crispy substance, then finally you drop dead in first place and your gamming reputation is destoyed forever...

    That is why we must live and play become one with the game all at the same time. One without the other just isn't right.

    Not right at all.

    What is even more ammusing is that he says it is his site... but then that he used it and got a PSP and IPod... ;D Spam and pyramid schemes would be so much more successful if they tried to make them sound at least remotely realistic.
