There more than likely will be a £50 price cut at christmas, but Killzone 2 will definetly be 2008

Shows how little I know about whats going on (or from the impression I get, what's not) with the PS3!

Looking down that list, I will be spending a fair bundle on new games for the 360, but it's been a quiet summer. I've even been playing Earth Defence Force 2017 for frack's sake!!
Elite will be bought at the end of August too as I've already got a buyer for my current premium model...
 
^Its been seen that the 3rd party do games a little better on the 360 because it is easy to develop for then they just port it over. I think it might be different for AC, CoD4, Jerico etc..because these games are in development at the same time and not just porting over.

We might see no difference this time except extra content and fanboism.

For those of you who have both a PS3 and an Xbox 360, why would you wantr to get GTA IV and Assassin's Creed for the Xbox over the PS3?

Well GTA IV I am getting on my 360 because I may want the extra content (depending of course on how much M$/Rockstar decides to rape me for it).

But I am getting Assassin's Creed on my PS3, against my better judgment since Ubisoft can't seem to make a decent PS3 game yet, just because I prefer my quiet PS3 to my jet engine powered 360.
 
I'll be getting both Assasins Creed and GTAIV on the 360 I think, unless somthing dramatically changes.

Both Assasins Creed and GTA IV have till now basically been shown on the 360 platform with little seen of their PS3 builds.

If developers feel the 360 version is the one they want to show off, that says to me - that's the one they are pushing.

Therefore 360. However I will wait till a review of both, however like sikkinixx says Ubisoft havent exactly been kind to ps3, and therefore it is plausible we might not see the PS3 version of Assasins Creed for a month or two after PS3, as all their titles so far have launched after the 360 version.

The IGN and Joystiq guys were saying that at E3 all the multi-platform games were running on PS3's at the Sony events (and on 360's at MS events) and they all worked and looked just fine. I took that as maybe a sign that the crappy port days are near their end?
 
I'm going with 360 versions because of the better controller, Achievements and Live (when I find a game worth playing online - Halo 3, could that be you?).

I bought Paper Mario today :) Great little game. I've fallen in love with that art style, just got the hammer and faced off against that corridor of Goombas. I thought the Wii was broke when the veranda flickered on and off :p

Updates-

Mario Bros 2
Pokemon Crystal
Metroid 1
Maybe a street fighter...
 
^ Really you get the movie in HD on the PS3 version ?

That's a good extra, because even if the game ends up sucking ass, you have a decent film I guess.

Yeah it wasn't on my list of games to pick up, but if it gets ok reviews I may give it a try.

My worry is the game will be Max Payne / FEAR syndrome. Shooty shooty slow mo fun at the start, followed by hours of repititious crap .....
 
Love that movie. I remember asking multiple bartenders what the drink at the beginning of the movie was. Found out and spent a few months in college wishing I'd never seen that movie as I was doing that drink a lot :) Has been hard seeing Chow Yun Fat in movies lately after those peak days of his...

Goodbye everyone.
 
I'm not much of a console gamer, but most likely get Mass Effect when it's released.
Of course, I don't have an Xbox 360, so will have to buy that too. Hopefully the 65nm 360's are available by then, or I might wait for them before I buy anything.

Getting BioShock too, but for PC not console.
 
I don't get how anyone with a Wii wouldn't get Prime 3. It doesn't make any sense.

Anyway...

Wii:
Metroid Prime 3
Super Mario Galaxy
Dewy's Adventure
Super Smash Brothers Brawl
Manhunt 2
Guitar Hero 3
Mario Party 8
Strikers Charged

360:
We'll see, as soon as I make myself get one (or for Christmas :D)
 
I won't be getting much because I'm saving for me first Mac. But I'll probably pick up Mario Galaxy and I'll only pick up Brawl if it has wifi play.
