Re: Xbox 360 Buying Plans

Same here.... I usually don't bother turning on my PS2 or the computer (for MVP Baseball) until everyone is asleep... If my 1 year old is still up, he'll usually lay on the floor next to me drinking milk until he falls asleep.

I've never owned more than 1 console at a time, so part of me is intrigued by getting both the PS3 and the 360. But I think I'll probably wind up with whichever one has the deeper sports library, since all I play are sports games.

Re: Xbox 360 Buying Plans

I might be the only one saying this, but I plan on waiting for the PS3. I own both systems now and I only play one. I haven't touched my PS2 in months. I'm really interested in the Blue-Ray (or whatever name they come up with) option that the PS3 will have. I don't play online, so Live is not an option for me.

I have a 2 1/2 year old also, so my gaming time is limited.

(I know I say I'll get one system, but with all these threads, I'm getting tempted more everyday!)

Re: Xbox 360 Buying Plans

As of now I am getting the xbox360 on launch day. Its still wait and see for me about the PS3 and a definite no for the revolution. With most every game I really like being on the xbox now, I don't see the need to have two consoles. But I don't know anything about the PS3 yet so there maybe something that blows us all away.

Xbox 360 at launch...Most likely also get the PS3 at launch...that could theoretically change, but I doubt it

Re: Xbox 360 Buying Plans

Well, being married with 2 young ones, I don't find time to game until after everyone is in bed...which is usually after 9pm. I may be on in the afternoon, but rarely is it for more than a half hour. Gaming is a hobby that I love, but in no way does it interfere with my family life. I'll find the time to play both, just not as much as I would like to. I haven't touched my PS2 or GC in months. I just won't sell them because there's probably a release on the horizon that intrigues me.

As for all the money that I spend on games...my wife and I are fortunate enough to make enough money to live comfortably. She recognizes that gaming is my hobby, just like I recognize that shopping is her's.

I'm in just about the same boat. Having one 13 month old daughter, and soon to take a shot at another child, the time to play has been greatly reduced. Since I had to get rid of everything else and only kept the Xbox, I envision buying only 1 of the next-gen consoles.

I still don't know which one.

That's why MS wants to be out of the gates first. They know it will be too hard for people to wait for the PS3.

Re: Xbox 360 Buying Plans

I'll probably buy both PS3 and Xbox 360, although not at launch. I'll wait a little while for a price drop or at least for any bugs that may have been present in the initial shipment of consoles to be fixed.

That's a good point and it begs the question- for those people saying they are going to get both consoles, why? What specific games are going to be on PS3 and not on Xbox 360 that make plunking down an extra $300+ absolutely necessary? Or visa-versa?

Re: Xbox 360 Buying Plans

I'm a one system per generation guy, and plan to buy the 360 by Christmas of this year.

I think Sony and MS both have a lot of exclusive stuff to offer. I'm getting Xbox 360 at launch, then the PS3 sometime in the generation, not at launch though.

Re: Xbox 360 Buying Plans

PS3, only because im a Sony guy and they haven't dissapointed yet.

Re: Xbox 360 Buying Plans

Xbox 360 because I'm tired of wasting money on Sony products(HDD) and they will both be pretty much the same. Xbox will have better online service probably.

Re: Xbox 360 Buying Plans

Tho I voted both I think E3 will decide if I really want a PS3 as I already preordered an X-box 360...btw I did'nt realize so many of the OS community has kids (add me to the bunch with a 4 year old Son) I really thought I was in the minority of late night gamers with kids.
