Which Console is for you?

Well, judging from recent events, it might well be better to wait for the frenzy to be over....
A man was shot early on Friday morning outside a Wal-Mart store in Connecticut while waiting to buy a new Sony Playstation 3, Connecticut State police said.
Gail Huff, a local Boston reporter said in Boston about 500 people waited at the Copley Place Mall and what did they get .... near-riot conditions. Boston Mayor Menino was definitely not a happy person....
Is it worth it? I guess you have to be the judge of that but it is not too me. So you don't get it today, but I'll bet you might get it next week or the week after or maybe even after Christmas ... but you will get it. So why wait in line at spot #23 when you know that they only got 20 units?

I'll never get it. Some days, I feel like the only person in the world who doesn't give two shits about the PS3.

Now, I would have been camping outside a Cingular store when the 8525 was released if I would have had the money for one.. ;)

The PS3 is not for me, partly because it will be £400 here, which is rediculous but mostly because I don't really like the games that are released on the PS consoles.
I want to get teh Nintendo Wii, looks good and classic Nintendo games, can't be beaten.

I'll most likely never buy a PS3. It just isn't worth it to me. I'd rather pour the money into computer upgrades. I can do a whole heck of a lot more with a computer than I can a game console. The whole thing is just getting ridiculous.

I'm looking at the Wii as my next-gen console. I wonder how much I can get for my PS2 and games?

I may buy another PS2 someday (my old one broke), but I didn't really use it anyways.
PC all the way (multi-purpose machine there)

People are brilliant: I want your new PS3, I will kill you for it. I will go to prison. I have no more stolen PS3 (but alot of new friends!)
Why?

I always end up buying a PS when the next version is coming out. When I bought my PS, PS2 came out a few months later and guess what, I bought my PS2 a year ago... hehehe soo.. its gonna be a while until I get the PS3. But the graphics really look good... Maybe I'll get it when GT5 comes out.

well as much as I like my ps2 I feel no need to join the ultra first wave of ps3 users. Or even the early adopters. When the next hardware revision comes then I might think about it....

OH did I mention when I bought my PS2, the slim version came out. Maybe I'll wait for a slim version of the PS3. It looks kinda big to me right now.
