I don't care how much it costs, I'm buying the most expensive Xbox 360. Mostly because I want to try out The Elder Scrolls 4, that looked awesome.

The Gameboy Micro don't seem so appealing to me, I dunno.

I really don't like handheld game systems, mostly because the only time someone would actually use one is when they're not anywhere near a tv. But, if I wasn't near a tv, I would either be listening to instructions, working, or reading.

I'm not going top get an XBOX360. At least not unless the PS3 is delayed till 2007. So Snake? Got any news on the PS3 release date?

The Gameboy Micro is a smaller GBA (same size screen) and is totally worthless.

Xbox 360 :)

You get what you pay for I mean, BLUE RAY!! O_O I'm a Playstation Ho all the way but the GBM (heh heh GBM) will be of good use to me, buy it I shall.

What about Nintendo Revolution. Also The Gameboy Micro is a total piece of crap. Its only a smaller version of the gameboy advance. What the hell is the point of paying 100 bucks for the same xact thing?

Yeah the new ones suck and the idea of them messing up FMA made things even worse... and now they refuse to make a FF that isn't online or more then 30-hours long... what happened to them making epic games like FF6, 4, 2, 1 and all the others? Also I'm glad nintendo is now taking back into quality instead of quanity :D GO NINTENDO ONCE MORE!!!!

Damn. I want my Twilight Princess.

"While this may come as a disappointment to many eager fans, it will absolutely enrich the game," said Kaplan.

But I guess waiting for that is well worth it.

Razor: Why do you think we Europeans wait a lil longer on games then the Americans? We get allmost allways extra features and stuff if our release is later.

Post by: Spike21 on August 19, 2005, 05:23:04 PM

drace the shipments go from japan to america (or america to japan)

then america to europe gets it from america and most american companys don't like to make that much shipments so they delay it. alot like what sony did.

I admire Eiji. He really wants to make the game better than OoT this time and I believe in him.

Call me crazy, but then just why does the European versions of games have more stuff? Like more difficulties and more bosses, more secrets? Well? Tell me why? Why? Why? Why?

The GBM looks tacky...

The only thing I want is a DS so that I can play Advance Wars.

Title:
Post by: Snake Eater on August 19, 2005, 07:18:54 PM

Yeah, The GBM is totally worthless, and 100 bucks! What a f'ing rip-off!

I was really looking forward to Zelda later this year..... What does the GC have now for the rest of the year? Not much.

Also, I can't wait for the Xbox 360. And the PS3. And the Revolution. Yep, I'm getting all of them. :)

Post by: Drace on August 19, 2005, 07:34:31 PM

Snake, since you're in to it. Give us your top 5 games for each next-generation console. And I know, MGS4 is going to be at the top of the PS3 list.

EDIT: Anyhoe, here's my PS3 list.

1. Metal Gear Solid 4
2. Tekken 6
3. Resident Evil 5
4. Medal of Honor: Airborne
5. King Kong
6. I-8
7. Getaway 3
8. Killzone 2 (It's made by the Dutch! w00t!)
9. Devil May Cry 4
10. Warhawk

I don't have a list for the XBOX360 yet. Maybe I should check some out on www.gamespot.com.

$299 seems resonable for a brand new console. $399 for the devotees, such as myself.

The Revolution has Zelda. And then all their old games because nintendo's last resort is to try and sell you games that you've already paid for and played before, games that are can be downloaded of the internet for free because of their crappy job trying to keep emulation down.

PS3 looks pretty good, but I haven't really heard anything about headliners for their release. Can anyone fill me in on their release titles?

Oblivion  :heart:

The most powerful system will be the one that comes out last.

2.Perfect Dark Zero
