How many are waiting anxiously for E3 to help make a purchase or a decision. I surprisingly am not. I think i'm set with the 360 unless sony does something amazing and really proves they are the better console going forward. But hopefully being a recession will be good for gamers. It seems to me like these companies hopefully will be fighting it out for people's dollars but who knows with the economy the way it is. Maybe things will be pretty status quo this E3? It seems to me like each system has a decent lineup which is good for everyone though..... I think they kind of have to.

Sony needs more games for E3, all I see is some most likely overrated games and some games that may not be worth buying. It needs Jak or it'll lose.

Microsoft won't disappoint me, hopefully.

E3 will not affect what I buy, but it will showcase what I may be buying come the holiday season. My current list is more than full enough.

How can you judge a game as overrated when its not even out yet?

I know you will, I am asking how do you do so, as it defies logic.

Anticipation and hype are pretty much it. Since Halo 2 was overrated, I knew Halo 3 would be overrated, and guess what, I was right, Halo 3 is overrated IMO.

...well then, E3 will affect what I buy, there are some games that just have not been impressing me, but if they have a good amount of content revealed then that may change my mind, also I may get interested in some new games

But you only highlight Sony with issues of overrating here, even though your example was an MS product.

Same here. I already got a 360 and PC, and my bro has a Wii and ps3.

Maybe OnLive? :P

Well, in that case, FFXIII v.s. will be overrated, when it comes to FF, it's too inconsistent for me. Also Gran Turismo 5 if shown at E3.

It varies, some hyped games live up to the hype, most don't however. Many games I've hyped ended up being overrated this gen, even more so than last gen.

I am getting a PS3 period. I am justing waiting on E3 to see if the PS3 gets a price cut and if the slim is coming. There is nothing the 360 or Wii can do to make me want one.

Lately, I've really be watching Nintendo. Their third party support has been getting real good, so I'm really anticipating some first party titles. It may push me over the edge into buying one.

I'm holding out on a PS3 in hopes of a pricecut and/or improvements on PSN. Infamous and Killzone just aren't enough to warrant a 400 dollar purchase. If not, I'm set with my 360.

I know what you mean, most of microsoft games were highly overrated yet for sony i found that lil big planet was the only exclusive that was overrated, other then that most are dead on point, like killzone 2 or infamous
