I thought Final Fantasy was going to be a launch title
Still, I've only been waiting a year for the final(?) PS2 installment and it still isn't released yet What a great choice that was for a xmas/birthday present.
I think I'm going to give nextgen gaming a complete miss. Certainly not buying into HiDef TV to appreciate it. Much better things to spend my money on and when they turn analogue TV off, we'll have a big DVD watching screen and no TV Might actually get round to learning more new stuff then rather than vegging my life away

I certainly won't be buying one, the 360 is good enough and the vast majority of games will be available on both platforms. Not going to waste my money on another expensive system.
Besides I have really gone off Sony and their business practices - their crappr software that came with the mini-discs that blue-screened my laptop, the rootkit issue and the closing of Lik-Sang for our own safety apparently.

PS3 will probably sell well because of the hype but really the Xbox 360 is just as good with loads of titles now and it's about half the price.
A no brainer really.
They've really missed the boat with missing Christmas, how many people can afford £450 for a games console + £50-60 a game a couple of months after Christmas?

At least Sony are making me realise it's all futile waiting for a PS3, and Iain with his exploding 360s (slight exaggeration maybe ) has put me off the 360
I don't recall any issues with my SNES, Spectrum or Amiga

Despite the problems I've had with the 360, I wouldn't want to be without it now. Some stunning stuff coming out soon as well

Maybe it's only Nintendo who can make a reliable console then.....

How would it look on a 36" CRT (yes, it's Sony, but only cost me £75 off a mate who upgraded )?
Nope! My A500 was perfect, as were all the ones my friends had. Ok the A600 was a bit dodgy, but all those in the know didn't get one

I'm going with PS3 - I've decided I've rather have Blu-Ray rather than HD DVD as my movie format of choice.

Even if I get one in the new year, it will still be sooner than the UK

Lol - depends on how much you're willing to pay I suppose.
Makes me laugh that people are willing to pay over the odds for an unproven console at launch with little or no decent games, when they can just wait 6 months and get one for half the price and hopefully there will be some stuff worth buying for it then. The only decent stuff in the ps3 launch lineup are games I've already played on the 360 (at a much lower cost)...

Neither format is proven yet, and I wouldn't like to put money on who is going to win at the moment, (especially with the blu-ray laser production problems and high cost of producing the discs). It's vhs vs betamax all over again
Personally, I'm going to wait a year before investing in any HD stuff. It might have settled down a bit by then.
As an aside, does anyone actually think that blu-ray is good for gaming? I'm of the opinion that the extra capacity on the discs just encourages more and more fmv at the expense of gameplay. Certainly a few quotes I've read from developers recently indicate that this will be true. A "selling" feature of one fps game on the ps3 (can't remember the name off the top of my head) is that if you go into a room and watch the tv, you can watch a whole film on the screen. Woopeee...

I've also read that Blue-Ray (and HD-DVD?) access will actually be slower for data than standard DVD. I'd sooner have a lengthy (2 mins tops) FMV sequence at the end when the game is completed, and less during the game itself as I find it stops the flow a lot of the time.
I'll be interested to see how much of a market share Nintendo claw back with their back to basics console. I think a lot of people might be surprised....

Blu-Ray has more studio's behind it due it being more security conscious.
I've also read that HD DVD doesnt have the capacity for both 1080p and a DTS soundtrack - its one or the other. Although I've read ina few sources that there is a lot of differing qualities going around between films from the same studio some are better in blu-ray, others in hd dvd...

It'll be interesting to see how this one pans out next year, (hence why I'm not buying anything now).

Add in an SPU doing streaming/data decompression in the background...
Still its going to be quicker to fill the 512meg from Blu-Ray than it is from the 360's DVD drive
