Just wondering what people think about the new consoles and which they might get. I think the fact perfect dark will be on the new xbox makes me like it will have a new dead or alive game which I also like. But the ps3 and new nintendo machine look good too.

Phantom!!! Hands down!

Look at the lines on this smooth-as-silk design


I think it also contains IONic Breeze technology.

It helps filter the smell in your room... after you bring it home that is

It's M-E-G-A-T-O-N. NOT MEGATRON.

I'll be getting an X-Box 360 when it comes out in november (lol yeah like there is any surprise why), and a Revolution (again another surprise ) when that's released Spring next year.

They'll be far enough apart to mean that it isn't an OR choice, which is cool. The PS3 though, being touted at £350.. so yeah sod getting that for a year.

I'll eventually get all of them, but do like Raven and start with the 360 and Revolution to save my wallet from imploding upon itself.

Dreamcast - £19.99 from Cash Conveter with a free controller & game. Unfortunaltly they only EVER have rubbishy sports games, as soon as they get a decent game in like Sonic or something, the nerdy staff just snap it up

Revolution.

Free wifi online play? I'll take that. Place the console down anywhere in my house and I can play online

Dreamcasts rock, but don't think your stuck with second hand games - there's a healthy emu scene, especially with the DreamSNES, bomberman is perfect because the 4 ports on the DC are emulated too, so it's great for multiplayer games like that.

I'll be buying a 360, and probably Nin's console as long as it does'nt sink too fast. I get more fun outta the Gamecube than the PS2 and XBox put together, but it seems the 360 will have the lions share of the killer games.

Quite frustrating when all you want is some next-gen playability to go with the graphics. Frankly, I'm sick of FPS games on XBox, it's like the PC market 3 years ago, like all these identical FPS games being released every month until people eventually stop buying them. Harvest Moon is the sorta thing I'm more likely to buy these days.

DreamCast was a great console... just a weird line up of games (JetGrind radio for example - where you shout orders at a fish with a human head!)

Thats Sega For you...

Like Ive said before..Im still mourning the dreamcasts loss...

It was a great console...Could have competed with Sony for longer too if people werent such idiot drones...

Last game I bought for my DC was Unreal Tournament... Plays great with the Keyboard and Mouse...The last game I will probably get is Sonic Adventure 2 10th Aniversary...Its getting too rare though.

And umm next gen console...Dont even know whether Ill bother...I still have my X-Box i got in november to play with...

Maybe I shouldnt have got the X-Box so late...Because I still have the GC!!!

Oh and Saturn was a great console too, Shame programmers coulnt make use of the 2 CPU's it had...

Nobody can tall "which next gen console will be the best", because they aren't out yet.

Also, there is no clear "best" - they each have unique titles and it's down to what you like in games. Conversly, they are becoming more and more alike as games become multi platform, so there may not be much of a difference at all!

In short ... this question cannot be answered.

Dumbo and Cool - DEFINATELY coming July 31st.

Probably get the lot. It's what I did last time. Although I want the PS3 the most. Mainly because of Bluray. Plug that into my HDMI compatible projector and HD movies will be awesome Hopefully won't end up like Betamax...

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

I think you're thinking of Sea Man or something like that. Jet Grind Radio was a cartoon shaded game where you spray painted the sides of buildings and buses. That was fun

PS3 and maybe a Revolution, or maybe the opposite, a Revolution and then a PS3. Most likely neither because I'm a poor college student who has a PC and plays mostly FPSes . So far nothing on the current Xbox nor the 360 has impressed me enough to consider getting one (I don't want a dumbed down PC I want a console) but Nintendo's consoles always come out with some new and inovative games (albeit only a few usually) and Playstation has all the game series I follow on it plus more titles.

Oh yeah... the Dreamcast DID totally rock!

PS3, definately first, and maybe later a Xbox360. Haven't cared much for Nintendo since the N64.

JSR was an insane game. And the game you are thinking of is Seaman.

EDIT: I have no clue if it's Jet Set Radio or Jet Grind Radio. I just use what's on my box. (Set)

It's M-E-G-A-T-O-N. NOT MEGATRON.
