I'm not a fan of the PS3, and the Wii doesn't really have much to offer after LoZTP to me.

You can be a fanboy and have more than one system, I have a PC, Wii and 360, but I'm still a lemming. I had a PS3 as well, but I sold it. I'll buy one again in a few years most likely.

I decided to buy a 360 first because it was cheaper and had more games. I'm considering getting both a Wii and a PS3 but not until the prices become more reasonable and more exclusive games come out.

Not buying the PS3 because i resent Sony using the PS brand to shoe in blu-ray.

Not buying a 360 because all the good games are on PC, and i have a 360 pad that works for the PC.

Already have a Wii.

Two things; money and time. If I could EASILY afford all systems I would prolly get them all, but even now I'm having hard time keeping up with all the titles on my current platform so it's not worth it to buy them all and just leave them to dust.

Wii - good starting price but lacking in mature games that I like. I would like more FPS and RPG that makes exclusive use of the wiimote before I get it. Concerned about the future games and their graphics vs the other consoles. But if the gameplay is all there and their future games produce a lot of AAA games, I would definitely buy it.

360 - quality issues with the RROD concerns me. I want to own (any) console well past 5 yrs and without warranty. I just like a no hassle-type of console.CPU and GPU seems on par with ps3 and lower price than ps3. I do not like have to pay for online gaming in LIVE. It may be (around) $50 per year but it does add up to around $250 after 5 years cause that is the amount of time I plan on keeping a console.

Ps3 - damn that is expensive but since I never own a ps1 and ps2, that is like getting 3 consoles for the price of 1. BR is nice but that is yet to be determine whether it will help gaming or not. Its got 512MB ram split. 256 of that is actually faster RAM so that will help gaming. I know cause I have a dell 8250 using RAMBUS. And the lack of breakage is impressivefor a console thathas so many features, builtin. YUP, I pick up the 60GB when it dropped to $500 - so I can get the EE chip. If they had not stopped manufacturing the 60GB, I would have waited till spring of 2008 before deciding on which console to get.I already know ps3 is lacking in games in comparision to the 360 but if I look around, I do see ps3 does have its own games that is quite fun like resistance, motorstorm, warhawk right now. I may get HS and Lair just out of curiosity when it drops below $40. UT3 mods is interesting though.

-Damn, look at what you made me do... a wall of text. :)

i own a wii and i'll buy a 360 when the 65 nm chips come out but i'll never buy a ps3. i have enough money that i could if i wanted to but i can spend $500 on something better. pretty much all its good games are on the 360 too and i don't have an HDTV so bluray is useless to me. the cell is only good for folding @ home, it wasn't meant for games.

I agree. Really I don't see it worth the 500 dollars for a few games I'm KINDA interested in. MGS4 is not enough to persuade me to get a PS3 not considering I already own a 360 and Wii. Could I afford one? Yes, but I CAN'T justify buying one.

look at your sig. you own multiples and are playing old games. if you had saved the money you spent on all the hardware you could have more/newer software.

if makeing more moey wasn't much easier said than done we would all be millionares. makeing more money usually involves working more hours, leaving less time to play, meaning even less of a reason to own multiples.

Making more money means waiting for the next paycheck to most people. Assuming that he would buy more games with the money he spent on his hardware was a mistake.Assuming he doesn't make enough money to buy more games was another mistake. It doesn't take a millionaire to buy all the games that someone wants.

i disagree. to most people making more money dosn't mean waiting untill your next paycheck. it means making extra money. most people adjust their spending to they paycheck so their check is spent before they get it. rising house payments, untilities, car payments, insurance, food, etc... . extra money is like ken said "work a second job to get it". thats also one of the reasons the ps3 is hurting so bad. "work more, play less" is not a good business plan for a game console. more money to most people means extra money that you haven't already made plans for.

as far as my asumptions, while it dosn't mean he would have bought more games, it means that he 100% could have and would increase his chances. you cant pend the same money on two things. if you spend it on hardware you cant spend it on soft ware. if you spend it on software you cant spend it on hardware. if you are still playing cod2 on the 360 it means 1 of two things. even at two years old it's great enough you dont need anything else, or you cant aford anything else. either way 1 consoles would have been a better option. if 1 gameis all you need why waste the money, and if you need more games you could have used the hardware money for games.

I wonder why you couldn't just hack the prices down to nothing and rob the company that created the Circus of Values line of vending machines. It's not like they need money where they're going. And if you think that splicers would also get items for free, you could just apply first-aid station technology to the vending machine to render it temporarily inoperable or deal out grenades when an enemy uses it.

Edit: Sure gameplay issues would arise out of this (as if the game wasn't already easy enough) but seriously, isn't it possible?

Because if I did that, I wouldn't have enough money to buy any games. And that would totally defeat the purpose. Besides, I'm happy with having a Wii, PC, and XBox 360. I'll get a PS3 next year, when I have enough money.
