Nintendo Revolution.

RedKing, why do you apologize for wanting to buy a GC? its a good console, especially at the current price and new Zelda coming.

PS3 for long-term, Xbox360 for a quick choice, and maybe REvolution, if Nintendo finally decides how many cows do i have to give to the mighty Mario god to see the miserable machine :)

Wilson, wtf? what do you mean to see it? there have been pics released since E3.

If i could afford it then i would get all three, but i can't so will get Revolution first, and then when the 360 has had a price cut will get that.

well, now it looks less cool, and im sure they have boosted the unreasonable specs of the machine. (in 2001 it had specs similare to that of the upcoming consoles probably). Whats it got now? a duel 5 ghz processor with 2 gigs of ram and a terrabyte hardrive? Or perhapes a duel wheel hampster processor with two little guys on type writers built in?

All three. I'm glad that they are releasing at different times. I have time to save my pennies.

Probably the Playstation 3 followed by the Revolution which I'll buy when I get some more money after the first hefty purchase. :)

Rumor has it the PS3 is gonna be 700 Canadian... :mad:

im not voting.. cause your being punished...

but im all for the revolution at this point. The only reason i will concider buying an xbox 360 is if it has the same kind of homebrew and emulation community as the current xbox... and if I can replace that shitty windows crap found on it with slackware linux.

slackware is like any other distrobution of linux... but with a pipe.
