mmmmm, XBox 360, not XBox 2, but more of a "XBox 1.5". Out in Europe within a few months for £209.99 or £279.99 with a 20GB Hard Drive. £210 is extremely cheap 4 alot of gaming goodness, but no hard drive and only limited backward compatibility. Wireless controllers though and gameplay baised heavily towards online play, Microsoft marketing it as more of a "Online Media Centre" rather than a games console. The games {Project Gothan 3, Test Drive, Ghost Recon, Call OF Duty] look just like XBox + 1 rather than "Next-Gen". This would be acceptable if it wasn't for the PS3. Facts released by Sony say that it'll be twice as powerful as XBox 360, fact, and the list of games at launch seem to be growing by the day, Official PS2 Mag here in Blighty has about 20 new games every month and the screen shots are simply staggering, Killzone 2, how on earth can that be in-game graphics? AMAZING!!! Plus it can connect wirelessly with the PSP to exchange music, game saves and other goodies that are being lined up the the game developers. Rumors are circulating the the "Boomerang" controllers shown at E3 could be changed back to ones resembling the PSTwo's before going on sale and don't hold your breath either as it will be a long way off because a)the developer of the innards of the PS3 [nVidia] say that its along way from being finnished and b) it's a Sony, so it'll be delayed and delayed and delayed and..........England gets the PSP on September 1st, months after the USA and Japan.
So far so good for the PS3 though, PS3 one - XBox 360 nill
