Buy one, and if you don't like it, sell it or trade it in against a PS3 :)

Oh yes, especially if you have an HD ready TV and surround sound system, fantastic :approve:

YES, but get HD tv if you want best quality. :)

I have two, but only one HD tv and you can see the differance. Just wish they would hurry up and bring out more 360 specific games.

Fab !!! :D

Well, the PS3 has been put back to November, for now, a big kick in the teeth for Sony.

That was pretty obvious anyway, release it before cristmas to maximise sales.

60GB hard drive as standard is good, but still no word of price:( I would like to no how many pennies i have to set aside over summer!:p

Well, let me think ;) xBox 360 = £279, so maybe £250 - £285 :)

Its too damn expensive! My current XBOX cost me about £130 and i'll wait for 360's prices to fall substantially before i'm interested.

Just got TOCA 3 which I didn't like to start with but its growing on me now... no Minis though!!

You're probably right about that too :) in any case, i think it's time we stopped calling them consoles, they are getting far too complex :p

Its still a years worth of sales lost to the XBox 360, and if it was a summer release, they would have had a peak of sales then, and Christmas, now its just going to be one peak.

It could be better news for Nintendo than Microsoft, in the Japanese home market, if the PS3 is delayed there.

Yeh, the revolution is looking quite handy, sneaking up behind the big two!! I've always been a big Nintendo fan, but the ps2 took me away from them:p

Although, the controller on the revolution is....well.....different to say the least! Not sure on it at all!
