(...weee!)

yea i think its silly that people become such huge fanboys of whatever console... What's the point. They all have their advantages and disadvantages. Nintendo knows how to make money, knows how to market to people, that's what they do. Then you have Microsoft and Sony over in the corner trying to outdo each other in the graphics and media machine department.

Basically Sony has blu-ray, Microsoft has shooters, Nintendo has casual gamers (and the rabid nintendo fans). Pick your pleasure and quit raggin on what other people get.

But we can still mock Sony for Final Fantasy 13 going to the Xbox 360.

Why buy a system that will move to the next generation in 3 years and limit backwards compatibility to their older games?

Buy none of them!

and if you keep saying that youll just miss out on a buncha great games till you are 60 and buy the supermegadeluxe console that plays everything ever made and even generates 3d games from classic books like Treasure Island and Robinson Crusoe and displays them directly into your brain!

...orrr buy a console and get some good enjoyment out of it for 3 or 4 years. Costs less than your computer upgrades in the same timeframe.

Or I could just not buy into the console war and find a way to run the games on a PC.

Patrick you are such a non conformist! I would wish I was like you but then I would be a conformist.

I don't care if you get a console or not, but if you see games that you want to play on them but wont because you "aren't buying into the console war" then you are dumb.

If you are going to get a 42" tv/monitor , why don't you wait for the OLED tvs that are half an inch thick, or whatever is coming next after that. Formats and technology change all the time, the important thing is you get whatever use out of them that you want, while they are out.

If you won't use it, don't get it. But don't knock those that get consoles because they enjoy playing the games that come out for them. Yes, even the Wii. Even though you think its stupid, its fun as all get out to play with other people. And even tho I think it's thin, some people enjoy playing the ps3 *gasp*

meh, to each his own. I'm havin fun with the xbox thats for sure. And when Fable 2 comes out... score!

As for emulation, they still haven't gotten all the ps2 games to work properly on the PC, except for the most powerful machines. So you will be very behind in that regard.

Well there are cars that I want to drive but don't buy either.  Sure there are games I want to play, but I don't want to have to spend $800 just to play a $60 game and then have that $800 system be obsolete in 3 years.  I just can't see spending so much money for a game either.  I don't know why I'm really not into consoles, I guess after I bought my Playstation and saw a few years later, the PS2 come out for $300...I just didn't want to try and keep up.

Oh come now, that's flawed logic and I hope you know it.  TVs will be able to be used no matter what new tech comes out.  The TV shows run just as well on 1950s TVs as they do today's.  I don't need the top of the line all the time, every few years I just want to catch up...as well as with my computer tech....I don't want to have to do it as often as I get an oil change.  I know I am of two minds, I want tech to increase but at the same time, I think it's kind of ridiculousness how the consumers seem to get screwed if they don't have the latest thing.

Psh, I'll make fun of any and all the consoles I want.  I like making fun of people who think the Wii is the most awesomest thing like in forever.  I liken the Wii players to Fantasy Football players.  They make fun of D&D people for being nerds, yet they think they're cool.  I just can't stand all the hokeyness that the Wii has including gay little characters, Wii fit, and even the name itself.  I find flaws with all systems, even though I might play with them...and yes, I will continue to make fun of them all and all of you who play them.

Oh well, my computer is older than all the consoles out right now...and I can still play the new games today...just think about that.  XBox comes out with a chip you swap every 3 years and it makes it a new model...cheaper and efficient.  Plus...who has all the room for all these consoles.  N64, Playstation 1, 2,3, XBox 1,2, Gamecube, Wii, etc. etc. etc.  It just seems really ludicrous.  Who knows, if PlayStation keeps their backwards compatibility for their games, I might buy the 4th generation and then only spend $30 or less on the games that are out for the PS2 and PS3.
