Who's gonna get your money this fall, Sony or Nintendo? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*exitspeed* · 08-08-2006, 01:47 PM

Well I'm buying both, BUT I'm only going to get a PS3 as an investment. I'll get both on the first day, but I'm just gonna turn around and sell the PS3 on ebay quickly (I'm still mad I didn't do that with my 360).

I'm looking forward to Wii more then anything coming up this fall. I know 360's gonna have some killar games, but Zelda and Metroid are going to take up most of my time.

What about you?

bimmerlover · 08-08-2006, 01:52 PM

Probably both. Wii to play Smash; PS3 to put up on eBay, and another PS3 for a cool DVD player.

It's a BlueRay player. Better start buying your favorite movies now...

Helghast · 08-08-2006, 02:21 PM

Wii hands down.

I'm not that excited about the PS3, shit I don't even own a 360 yet.

VROOOM · 08-08-2006, 02:28 PM

screw nintendo and sony, im gonna buy the world of warcraft expansion pack when it comes out. im soooo addicted to that game its pathetic.

SimpleS14 · 08-08-2006, 02:32 PM

PS3 a year after the release

Sadly...I think I'm the only one looking forward to playing the Sonic game.

The demo is pretty fun. More of a rental for me though.

*Yuri* · 08-08-2006, 03:26 PM

I'm thinking PS3 and 360. Call me ignorant, but what's this newfangled blueray stuff?

trybal · 08-08-2006, 03:30 PM

blue ray, its a blue laser instead of red. its much much thinner and can read alot better and faster, which means we will be able to put more info on one disk since the light reads finer.

screw sony and nintendo, its all abotu halo 3 baby.

BlueRay is Sony's DVD format replacement.

There's a new VHS VS Beta war starting between Sony's BlueRay and Toshiba, NEC, Sanyo, Microsoft, and Intel's HD-DVD.

We'll see what happens. Blueray's future rides A LOT on PS3's success.

95Blue240sx · 08-08-2006, 03:51 PM

Yeah I will be doing the same. Buy PS3 and flip it, buy Wii to keep.

I dont care what people say about what I am going to do with the PS3 I get, they just need to get in the game. Fast cash is the best investment.

S13E · 08-08-2006, 05:08 PM

If blu ray suffers the same fate as UMD's... man. thats a $500-$600 brick!

blackflag_Rms13 · 08-08-2006, 05:54 PM

Neither, I don't like video games... Case in point I bought my PS2 for $50 and GT4 for $20. Only game I've owned, haven't played it in a month or two...

If anyone I'll probably give my money to Apple for a Mac Mini Duo...

alexchanman · 08-08-2006, 06:16 PM

hmmm, im going for both. but ps3 a couple months after release.

wickdmarz · 08-08-2006, 06:35 PM

Neither...I'm too poor, I'll just camp over at Impactred's place mwhahaha

But I'm all for either one just because I rather support them than microsoft...pfft. That N3 Ninety-Nine Nights looks good though, I'm steal my bro's 360 when he goes into the army.

But for sure investment is the WOW expansion I can't wait for that, I want a cute blood elf!!!

meteorite_flo · 08-08-2006, 06:47 PM

i'm buying the ps2 two of them. one for my nephew and one for me. and no i ain't selling that shit on ebay. i don't need money like that. that's like hearing some kids that buys a pair of jordan's and don't wear it, and sell them for hella much more. screw that. i be wearing my seven, cookie monsters and kermit the frog dunks!!

Edgar · 08-08-2006, 07:15 PM

Sony will be getting my money for sure. Graphics are the shit

OdessaS13 · 08-08-2006, 07:16 PM

neither...imma wait for my friends to get it, then go to their house and play it.
shit, im still entertained by SNES super mario world and street fighter turbo (when i have time)

DreamDriveDrift · 08-08-2006, 07:26 PM

The Nintendo Wii....the name itself wins me over. Reminds me of that let's radio podcast...

you want to play with my wii?

mario's wii party

donkey kong's wii

That was a funny episode

Ricks15 · 08-08-2006, 08:23 PM

none Ill just wait and see whats up with these systems after the price goes down. Is it true that the PS3's msrp will be around 700+???

**Phlip** · 08-08-2006, 08:41 PM

I am buying 2 PS3s, then hustling one on Egay

theicecreamdan · 08-08-2006, 08:52 PM

how much longer do I have to save up for the PS3? I need to make some fast cash, I wonder how many I can afford?

*fliprayzin240sx* · 08-09-2006, 12:53 AM

PS3 cuz im a loyal fan!!! After seeing the screen shots for MGS and FF, im hooked!!! To me, the only thing 360 got going for it is Halo, which i dont even like playing that much. I play it when im at somebodys house and everybody else is on it.

alexchanman · 08-09-2006, 07:03 AM

there is also enough great ps2 games coming out in the fall to keep me busy until the non fucked up ps3's come out.

See, that's why I''m so geeked about Wii. Honestly 360's and PS3's graphics don't WOW me the way I thought they would. Yea, they do look good, but like I said, no WOW factor.

Nintendo on the other hand says, "We're not trying to make the most powerful machine out there. We're creating a new way to play games all together".

It's a great philosophy if you ask me.

I can't wait to play Mario Kart Wii. If you've seen how racing games work with the new controller, IT'S AWSOME. You hold the Wii-mote horizontally and your steer it like a steering wheel! THAT IS DOPE!

That's why we need to get a bunch of people together and wait in line at Best Buy on 76th st (they get the most systems out of any store int he area) the day before. I plan of getting in line there right after work, so probably 6pm-ish. I'll be bringing some extra chairs and that for other people that want a system.

I'll be doing the same for Wii.

sncs14 · 08-09-2006, 10:09 AM

I'm going to wait a year or so for before buying either, unless I see a game that I really want or my PS2 dies.
