. It's very much light hearted conversation. However many take these Console wars a bit too seriously, so I'll read those links and next time If I decide to input my 2 cents, I'll remember that no one here is interesting in peoples thoughts but hard facts found in articles on the web.

. I've played some great looking games and they sucked ass. I wont buy a playstation at launch because I want to play fun games and honestly. It's not fun to spend a weeks worth of groceries to play a game . Anyone care to guess what the Playstation 4 is going to cost? Every time a new system gets released it’s more expensive then the last. Yea I’ve heard of inflation but dam it there is a point where it’s just silly. Graphics don’t make great games! They do not even make good ones. I sat down about a month ago and played Zelda: Ocarina of Time because I longed for something fun. I enjoyed that immensely! I would have paid good money again for that kind of enjoyment. Do we really need all that horse power to play good games? Microsoft does not think so… Nintendo certainly does not think so… And well I honestly do not think so. From what I gather Next generation is about “Graphics” and little emphasis on game play with certain company’s.. I find it silly to be an early adopter because the equipment is always expensive, full of bugs and when the dust settles… well it just might not be the format of choice . Sony is kind of shoving an early adopters product down peoples throat and calling it a PS3. They have allot invested in Blue Ray and this is just a method to get blue ray in the homes of many Playstation fans homes. Anyhow it’s certainly a sweeeeeeeeet piece of kit and I wont say otherwise… I just feel it’s not really needed, especially at such an expense..Edit:
Just wanted to mention. How many people do you think will own 1080p capable TV's within the next few years? Most semi expensive TV's on the market now are only capable of 1080i. A 1080p TV of any decent size is dam expensive! How many Xbox 360 players do you think are using their old TV with AVI inputs? I bet you over half. It is sad but it is true. People are going to pay a ton for the PS3 and will never see it in 1080p... It's sad but it is true. You can call it "crying" if you like but many people want affordable devices. Especially when it's parents buying for their children. It is sad but it's true
. I have moved on as well and also own Oblivion and other such games. I agree that the better the graphics the better immersion, but the game has to be good and fun to become immersed also. Graphics are important (maybe I downplayed that). But awesome graphics can be achieved with this gen formats (crysis being a good example). When it comes down to it... Technology has to keep improving and Blue ray and HD-DVD is a must for the future (well one of them) I just feel that we should not have to pay through the nose for them now. I honestly understand your wanting that PS3 and I do believe it will be one hell of a machine. I gripe is with the price and the reasons for it. But I know I've made that clear and understood . it's with the PS3 system and what makes it so expensive. You would do better to read that a bit more carefully. You can buy a $3000. PC and hook it up to a 13" TV too .. Basically if you spend a frigging fortune on the PS3 and play it on a regular TV (most people will do this) your wasting all that technology (and your spending a premium to do it).

And just for the record, my 360 does not overheat, unless, i put it on carpet and play it for an extended period of time, more than 6 hours. And yes i did play for 6 hours at a friends house, we beat PDZ in that one night.
