    I don't care about specs, I still will probably purchase a PS3/Revolution before the XBox 360. And I may be mistaken, but I heard that Microsoft is planning to release Halo 3 the day PS3 comes out, which to me sounds so stupid.

    "There are those who said this day would never come. What have they to say now?"
    .Halo.

    Y'know... if you were any stupider, I swear death by laughter would be a real medical occurance.

        It looks like a PC or Mac tower. So, here's my solution, beef up your own system, then wait for the games to come on PC. You'll save a lot of money because you won't be paying for plastic parts and labor.

        Also, they're always trying to change the way we think about gaming and whatnot. No big thing there. Remember when Nintendo finally caught up with the rest of us and made their games on discs? Man, that made me change the way I played and thought about games.

Weren't people complaining about the last one not having enough new stuff or being rushed or something?
            My father in law was telling me over Thanksgiving about this amazing bartender at some bar he frequented who could shake a martini and fill it to the rim with no leftovers and he thought it was the coolest thing he'd ever seen. I then proceeded to his home bar and made four martinis in one shaker with unfamiliar glassware and a non standard shaker and did the same thing. From that moment forward I knew he had no compunction about my cock ever being in his daughter's mouth.

              It seemed to me the last one had enough new stuff, the mission/storyline kind of cut off when it seemed there was 1 left to go... but you get that. It didn't seem rushed to me, but I'm no expert.

                  I don't think you should expect backwards-compatability by default as I'm sure it raises a load of technical issues.

                  After all, the PS2 is the only console able to play old games (afaik), not including GBA/DS.

                    Yeah, but who says it's being rushed? Halo 2's ending was begging for a sequel, so my guess (with Bungie now being a MS shop) is that they've been developing this since right after H2's release or even a bit beforehand. My guess would put the PS3 somewhere in mid-to-late fall of next year (more likely Christmastime--makes more sense economically), which means that they still have a full year and a half of dev time. Plenty, assuming that they've already started something.

                      I was pretty sure they would come out with a Halo 3, not because of the ending (never played the second one), but simply because the first 2 games have made them so much money. I honestly don't mind it coming out at the same time as the ps3, I just hate seeing games being rushed - and I dunno why but it's become more apparent to me over the past year or so. The first halo seemed pretty good (overhyped, but still good), so I wouldn't mind trying out Halo 3 or the xbox 360 for that matter. FPS wise I'm still waiting for HL3 or at least the expansion :wub:

                        No, that isn't what I said at all.
                        Switching to a PowerPC architecture is most likely not going to mean anything at all to you, the end consumer, in terms of compatibility with Xbox 1. The different processor isn't going to stop compatability, it's what they do with the software or firmware that handles the loading and execution of your games that is going to count.

                            The reason I say stupid for the idea of releasing Halo 3 on PS3's release date is because Halo was a launch title for XBox and one of, if not the only real selling point in terms of games to get when the system launched. Unless Microsoft can compensate for the wait time for Halo 3 with a very good launch titles library, there could be little reason to buy an XBox 360 early. However, I have also heard that when the PS3 releases, Microsoft with drop the XBox 360 price tag anywhere from $50 to $100. Waiting for them to polish a game is good, but with Halo seeming to be XBox's lifeline, waiting too long might be a bad thing.

                              It's possible that the Xbox360 will have backwards compatility, cause while showing the Xbox360, they noted that they were playing Halo2... So that's gotta tell you something...

                                They said (Microsoft) that some games (most likely the top 10 selling Xbox games) will be able to play on the Xbox 360. So you will be able to play both Halo games on Xbox 360.
