Are you buying Xbox 360, or waiting for PS3? A simple poll

I also am looking forward to the new additions to live (except micro transactions). There are already plenty of games to get me excited too, despite an initial lackluster show on MTV (and even the first few days of E3, really). That still will give me at least a year to save up for PS3, which I probably won't even get at launch since I'll already have a 360, and I'll probably buy a standalone HD-DVD player.

Thing is, if you're not someone that cares about HDTV or 5.1, you dont find much of a reason to buy one at launch, or in its first year on the market either.

Then you could say the same thing about the PS3. Not sure why people are so apathetic about consoles going HD. The resolution really makes a difference.

For me it's the continuation of the Live service, the added and expanded features. The Marketplace can jump in a lake for all I know of it now (sounds like the "ringtone" industry) I'm sure the market will wisely dictate how much it is used/abused. I just hope Sony has something on par with Live.

PC games should never have advanced beyond VGA.

...and MS isn't bleeding cash like a stuck pig like Sega was.

... and MS has the support of the biggest 3rd party, and MS has a brand or two that will definitely move units.

Really, this situation isnt comparable to the Dreamcast at all. It probably has the most similarities to the Genesis, actually.
