How do you feel about your next-gen purchase?

I got my 360 after the price drop this summer. I can say that I have no regrets at all. The game library is excellent, the online is excellent and its just a great experience. I did have an issue with a headset that came with the system but it was still within the 30 day period that the store gives you. Since then ive had no further issues.

Also typhoid, why did you have to get 2 ps3s?

I've had my 360 for about a month now and couldn't be happier.

Totally happy with all three. It's hard managing time for everyone.

PS3 - ultimate fucking Home Theater tool, especially if you have 1080p and/or HDMI sound. The best Blu-ray player and also offers fantastic upscaled DVDs, music, games, and photo capabilities.

Wii - incredibly fun, if not for just booting up and screwing around with channels and games. Also amazing games like Zelda, Metroid, Mario, and Smash already available.

360 - the first system I got. Definitely has something for everyone in way of games. Also a few arcade titles are definitely worth the money, especially E4 and Rez.

just PS3 here, and I haven't once regretted the purchase. It wasn't great seeing it struggling mightily in the sales derpartment as that could have negatively affected its lifespan and future game development, but that has turned around and the general public seems to be realizing the sheer value of the system.

I'm a huge movies fan on top of games, and so I get lots of use out of the superpub Blu Ray and upscaled DVD functions...and 2008 looks like a terrific year for PS3 games.

I almost forgot, and don't even know if this counts.

But I have recently fallen in love with my DS again. Since, I now work and have a commute and all that fun jazz it is something to do alongside my MP3 player.

And the DS has had quite a library including new Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart DS, Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time and Phantom Hourglass.

My two current loves are Pokemon Pearl since I pretty much skipped out halfway through the Gold/Silver era, there are a lot of neat changes in this version that I'm sure was added before.

And Prof Layton, which is a nice challenging mental game. I love logic puzzles and the feeling you get from solving them.

I've been happy with the 360 thus far. I've been playing since launch (my roommate had one) but have only had my personal Elite since September, shortly before Halo 3 came out. There have been some really great games to come out, and even more will follow in the future. I'm stuck on Virtua Fighter 5 (I'm an old time VF fan that's been playing since the first game came out in arcades over 10 years ago), loved Mass Effect, and am working my way through Lost Odyssey (albeit very slowly) right now. Cool niche titles like Earth Defense Force 2017 keep me interested as well. Good Times for gaming.

Cam, why don't you just call me Sean?
Jesus.

Because me and my brother have an 80 gig for the big screen, and I just got a little 2-port 40 for my bedroom.

NEVER! If I had my way your user name would be Sean and your regular name would be Typhoid.

That would actually be pretty hilarious.
I'd probably answer to "Typh", too.

I'd probably call you Typh if I met you on the street. Just like I say lol instead of laughing.

Anyway, I bought a Wii 2 days after the European launch, and I've had a lot of fun with it. Sometime during the last year, I figured I'd be missing some great games from these generation if I only had a Wii, and somehow managed to find the money for an X360, which I'm also very happy with.

Currently playing RE4 on Wii (still haven't finished it - it's been almost a year since I bought it!) and I have MP3 and SMG waiting, so I'm guessing the Wii will provide a lot of entertainment in the next few months. Then there's Brawl and Mario Kart.. I want to buy Orange Box for the 360, but not before I've dealt with my backlog.
