Xbox 360

Many people have other spending priorities and think $400 is too much for a game machine, I'd imagine. Especially when the launch games aren't that impressive.

Everyone acts like its so much more expensive then other console launches. The damn PS1 was $399.99 when that shit pile came out. So whatever, I'll get my slightly better next gen graphics day one!

Most people didn't buy it till 2 years later either.

Maybe, but the Playstation caught on quick. I worked in the Kmart electronics dept. as Christmas help in 95, and we sold those things like hotcakes. Seriously.

I'm not saying the PC mod community won't be superior to whatever Bethesda offers (although who knows). I'm simply repeating what the developers have been stressing over and over: a brand new, cutting edge pc will barely be able to keep pace with the 360's performance for this game, and probably not even then. I'm sure the PC rev will be just dandy, but to state that it will run "infinitely better" on PC is incorrect.

The interviews I've seen have just said that they'll be supporting Oblivion on the 360 more than they did Morrowind on the Xbox. Regardless, the PC will blow the console out of the mod market. Modders are usually PC gamers so it would be a bit silly to go with the 360 if you were planning on getting any great mods.

You do?

Will I get one? Probably, but not at launch. I'll get a ps3 at launch and then this whenever something grabs me.

i think i will eventually get one after a significant price drop and some great 360 only gems but currently a ps3 is my top priority

Memory card -> Action Replay -> PC -> Memstick Duo -> PS3. No prob.

Anyway, as to the topic, I said this in another thread:

But then I remembered, two such games already exist - the Mistwalker exclusives Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey. I know it somehow became fashionable to hate on both Nintendo and FF around here, but dammit, in my book Miyamoto is God and Hironobu Sakaguchi sits at His right hand. Anything he's involved in I'll buy automatically.

Still though, that's just two games, and neither of them will be out in Japan for a year and probably twice as long here. Plenty of time to wait for a drop.

I'm really not feeling this upcomming gen, although the Revolution intrigues me. I doubt I'll get any of them above $150, so I can definately wait until some good stuff comes out later on.

For now I'll probably stick to getting stuff cheap from this gen or earlier stuff, maybe even a DS is in my future?
