as was halo, but thats all that really appeals to me on xBox CURRENTLY. I can't say that one will be better than the other currently, but I have a friend at epic who isn't telling me much, but betting his arse that PS3 will blow the doors off the xBox 360. And he's an xBox FANBOY HARDCORE. I for one will play my friends 360, and wait for the Revolution and the PS3 i have way to many GC and PS2 games that I love, and that new Revolution controller is going to rock hard.... I'm betting there will be some sort of HMD released for the Revolution before it's all said and done... can't wait to play zelda with one controller being the shield and the other being the sword.. HOLY! I am impressed with the xBox though, it's nothing to sneeze at, but it's aimed more at PC gamers who want a console. I would own all three if i could afford it.

My PSP, DS, GC and PS2 will have to hold me over until then... he he he.

I can't believe I'm saying this (being a mac fanatic) but in all fairness it really isn't microsoft trying to screw anyone with the backwards compat thing. They went from x86 architecture to powerpc for xBox360 and it's extremely difficult to pull off that emulation.

that being said, I Hate microsoft, they SUXXORS!!!!!!!!!111111

he he.

Yeah, MS isn't really doing emulation, they are implementing the Xbox API. The PS2 does true emulation of the PS1 hardware, registers, clocks, etc. Not a bad way to go, actually, it just requires work for every game, so compatibility is maybe. If they had delayed the launch until the API was fully implemented they could have guaranteed compatibility.

It's the same Microsoft BS, release it now, download the patch later.

Hey, I just got a new "rootkit" CD from Sony for Unix. The instructions were very clear:

1. Open vi.
2. #include <rootkit.cc>
3. Recompile kernel.
4. Reboot machine, pointing to new, infected kernel for bootup.
5. Congratulations, you are now infected with the XCP rootkit!

Oh, wait, didn't happen, cuz I would never do such a thing, and there is no way in hell to make it happen without my knowledge, or hide its presence, etc.

I'm only a fan of one game on ANY console - Gran Turismo. I'm waiting for PS3 to come out so I can buy Gran Turismo 4 and a nice steering wheel setup to play on.

technocoy: hehe its funny, my friend that works extensively with epic (provides all their facial animation tools) says that he's pretty sure the Xbox 360 is going to top the PS3 in "prettiness"

ahh well, we can all make grand conjecture until the hardware actually hits the streets.

[UNEVEN THOUGHTS]

Here's my experience so far...

Pre-bought my 360 (paid in full along with 3 games) back in September with a "guarentee" from EB games that I'd have it for Christmas. Got a call from them last week saying that shipped quanities had been severly cut down and stores were only getting small fractions of what they had been promised, my date for pickup was pushed to Febuary . It's now about 11:30pm and instead of being happily inline down at the mall I've just finished visiting my 4 local Wal-Marts, 2 Radioshacks,GamesStop, BestBuy, Etc. each of which got only about 10 - 25 of the cheeper units, and 2-5 of the better units (which the employee's put aside for themselves). People have been in line there since about noon yesterday in some cases. If I cant grab one when Kmart opens in the morning I'm affraid I'll be stuck waiting...

Maybe Sega, Nintendo, and Atari should merge and take on this whole MS / Sony thing.

[WormGod]

You all have been pretty busy while I have been gone, hahaha....

I get my 360 through work today. I will probably stop off on my way home and see if I can find anything decent for it. All the games will probably be sold out by the time I am outta here, but there really isnt anything I have my eye on anyways.

Since I develop for most game platforms, I dont like to pick favorites. But.... if I had to.... I would pick PC, heh. Hell, its completely upgradeable anyways, right?

true...too bad just the video card is worth more then a 360....

[technocoy]

maugan,

that IS funny as hell. I will have to reserve judgement though until Some one has a real cev kit for the PS3... If it looks as good as the demo at E3, there are no questions in my mind. but if not, then i think they will be pretty neck and neck. I can't wait... it will suck if sony pushes to 2007, but i can't see how they can afford to.
