  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What next-gen system are you getting?

I don't have an HDTV yet, so I'm going to go for a Wii. Plus, I'm going to have to start paying car insurance soon so my bank account is going to start shrinking :sigh:

I'd love to have all three eventually, but if it comes down to it I'll probably go for whatever the next Silent Hill game comes out for (if it's exclusive). Even if it's a PS3, I'm going to wait for a price drop and for them to work out the bugs. But truth be told both the 360 and the PS3 have games I'd love to get my hands on. So it's still up in the air.

One interesting thing about the PS3...Sony has already said they are going to be losing a ton of money off each system. (just like Microsoft did with both Xbox consoles) The bad thing is people haven't exactly been rushing to the store to pre-order. From what I can tell it has WAY less pre-orders than the Wii. (which sold out pre-orders in minutes across the country) And even less than the 360.

They are going to be making up the cost on games people buy...but if not enough people buy the system, that means not as many buying games and even more money loss. I think the PS3 is going to be a major money loss at first.

BUT...that's good for us. I predict that within the first year we will see a $100 drop in price tag and/or a core system that comes only with a game, a very small (if any at all) hard drive for $200 less. It would be the basic core system only.

That's my guess.

I'm getting a PS3.
First, I'm getting a Wii. Technically, I already own one. It's being held for me. I won a contest and get a Wii when the console releases.

Second, I plan to get an HDTV, then a 360. I've played Dead Rising on the 360, and discovered that you really need an HDTV to play it.

Third, I'll probably get a PS3 when it's a much more reasonable price and has some games that interest me.

None, I'm building a new PC next year.

Awesome! Post up some specs when you do. I just built mine last January, so I've got a while before I can build another, though I am looking to upgrade my storage space, been using the same IDE drives for too long, I need some SATA II awesomeness.

The PS3 would probably be a better choice for me.. the Wii is a little overboard with the name and the controllers.. and Final Fantasy VII has a chance to be remade on PS3. Square-Enix isnt sure yet.. But I know they would because it would make the system sell a whole lot better and they'd make alot of money.
