This scares me because I think sony will loose an edge in R&D on their new machine because they are being forced to do this. I think this go around, microsoft or nintendo are going to take the dominant figure in the game industry. Sony at this last one by a LONG shot. Maybe they got cocky?

it has no competition currently but it's still hard to even find one so it's not that big of a deal. yeah production is supposed to ramp up but it should have been that way before last christmas.

HALO 3 will NOT launch when the PS3 comes out. Bill Gates said this from his own mouth. He's giving Bungie enough time to make a complete package and have it come out in 2007. It'll probably come out the same time the movie comes out, which will be a Microsoft marketing powerhouse.

Interesting, good to hear. I'd rather them spend time on making the game legendary rather than paying attention to their greed.

As soon as Halo 3 comes out, I'll be able to justify picking up a 360.

I've heard some good comments about how well rounded the system is. That still doesn't change anything for me though, I still don't have the money to put down on a system like that. If the PS3 still looks attractive in November, I'll definitely get that. Mostly for Metal Gear :drool:

that's what's killing it for me too. $400 + tax + warranty = close to $500 without a game. :a:
