metadigital Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 And it's not about the price. If that's the issue, we shouldn't be sitting here talking about buying a next-gen machine this year. Just take the money you were going to spend on a next-gen machine and buy a second current machine instead. I keep hearing from Nintendo loyalists how cheap the Revolution will be. Well, it's not as cheap as a PS2 or an XBox (both $149 right now, probably $99 this fall) and both of those machines have libraries 100 times larger than the Rev will have on opening day. This goes for any single-console fan. If you're an XBox guy, you're probably saving the $600 it'll cost to get a 360 and two games. For that amount of money, you could put down $149 for a PS2 and pick out the ten best games they ever made for it. There simply aren't ten games that good on the 360 right now. Which way would get you more gaming bang for your buck? OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

metadigital Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 I have one of these, they're brilliant! But unless you have infinite money - and if you do, you shouldn't be reading this and should be out on a jet ski somewhere - there is no reason in the world to line up to buy a gleaming new game machine on opening day. Honestly, if the reason you're out trying to win converts to your console is because you're afraid it's going to fail, why not spare yourself the anxiety? Wait and see.

ramza Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 I am waiting for the new-gen consoles to come out so that I can buy the ps2 and the gamecube a lot cheaper. Moreover, PS2's best games are sold in platinum versions which is a very good think for my wallet. "Ooo, squirrels, Boo! I know I saw them!

Darque Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Tell me more. What games do you think are unpopular and good? (Should be cheaper, too.) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Unpopular? No I'm just saying that looking for "platinum or greatest hits" games and assuming they're the best isn't wise. Take Disgaea. Fantastic game on a lot of levels... but you won't see a greatest hits version of it. And the game did very well, so well in fact that the game alone caused Altus to open a NA branch. Or Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne An excellent, and very mature game. But you won't see it either, unless you blow a lot of money on ebay. Greatest Hits does not equal best.

I mean you cant even do it unless you trade anyway. The point of the game is to beat the eite four and the champion Thats fine by me. I'm just pointing out that they have a lot in common.
