King kong was the best looking demo out there though. It felt like a real big dinosaur was chasing me.

I will not buy it. PS3 and Nintendo for me.
I don't mean to say "I told you so.." but... I told you so. Don't even bother with a PS3 and Nintendo. Nintendo aint doing too well right now, and the PS3 has nothing new coming out on it that's worth investing in. Besides, most of the games'll be on the computer, which is far cheaper to upgrade and maintaine, and can do a lot more.

You are a savior Echo.

Lol, I just don't get consoles anymore - and it always seems there's a large packt of fanboys waiting to clobber you if you pick the wrong one o_O Why bother paying roughly $1000 for 3 systems, plus more for controllers, memory cards and all that kind of crap, then $60 or even $70 for games, when you can spend $300 on a badass graphics card and bootleg games for free, or buy new ones with BETTER graphics and online functions for about $40? (Only time I paid $60 was when I bought Battlefield 2 when it first came out.)

Woah... I just did too.

When I saw it I was like "I wonder what the fps is..." and then I remembered that most consoles only have about 30 fps as their standard, which is disgusting.

Then I made fun of this guy that was playing. He was standing like a foot away from someone and couldn't seem to hit him. I was yelling at him, "No, you have to HIT him. He's not afraid!"

What a noob. I picked up the controller after he was done and just put it right back down a second later, shuddered, and then walked away. Ugh, I have wannabe Dreamcast controller all over me.

i haven't played a console in forever, last game i played was Final Fantasy X and that game was just an interactive movie, my interest in consoles died along time ago, handhelds are still fun though

people shouldn't care so much, it really shouldn't matter if it's not you wasting your money on something you don't want, right?

My main gripe on consoles - controllers are to complicated.

Which is why I'm thinking the Revolution will be so awesome.

"Where is that button again?"
"Which one"
"The Q-4 button!"
"I can only find Q-1 through 3!"
"AHH!"
*Dies*

Yeah... Thats mainly targeted towards the new systems. I loved nes, snes, and genesis. N64 took quite a bit of getting used to. What with all of those C buttons, but it was all better since they never used the D-pad or L button, except for cheats.

Oh... and keyboards don't count. Typing is completely different.

I have a problem with the PS3 the problem is its controller. The thing is a boomerang. Its only use is if you get really mad and chuck it it will come back to you.

Eh, most of us don't like consoles, or the new ones at least. It seems a lot of us here are techies, or at least computer literate. Anyone who has used a modern computer with a modern computer game shall understand why there is such wrath to the console.

Oh my... how could I miss this?

Sonic Rush and Mario Kart DS were both released... I must now go out and sell my soul to go get them. If I come back to these forums without a Guild Wars account, you'll know why.
