Although I'm a Nintendo Wii and XBOX360 fan... but still looking forward
for PS3... especially the games that will come out on it.

Wow, finally some response :P

Do u own the X360 now ?

If so, wats the price right now, how much does each game cost...

To be honest, it's because PS3 uses the blueray that i'm really excited
about. Just wondering what's all the hype about them...

Kinda suck that i need to get a HDTV to fully enjoy them though...

I've X360 now with me connected to my 42" plasma. As far as i see the
graphics on X360 and PS3 is surelly going to be on par. Don't expect
anything too special and drastic on PS3. The price of PS3 during launch is
going to be very high like say RM3K+. And considering the capacity of the
blu-ray disc, i'll pre-allocate about RM300~RM350 per game compare to X360
DVD9, about RM150~RM200 per game.
Frankly speaking, PS3 may be a great machine but its performance is not
going to further away too much compare to X360 (3 dual core processor, 6
threads).
Don't even think of getting the lower spec.version's PS3 as without HDMI
port , the 1080p is just as useless. Factor in the risk and longer
development time needed to code the game specifically to take advantage of
Cells processors, i would say the initial batch of PS3 title is going to be
bad compare to X360 as the developers going to rush for market and will
utilise only PS3's 1 general purpose processor or may be plus 1 or 2 SPE.
They will need a least 4 to 5 years time to fully unleash it's potential.
By that time, i'm sure we have already move to other better platform again
already.

Anyway, i might also consider getting 1 if the launch titles are good.

chtan , you are someone who does research... i like it.

Have you tried connecting your x360 to a standard tv ? and compare the
differences to a plasma or a hdtv... ?

Because, i know i'll be getting a ps3, but i doubt so a hdtv anytime in
the near future.

Kinda pricey for now.

Well... for a game to cost 200-300 , i think it will well be worth it for
lenghty games like FF series or GT series.

I doubt launch games on any consoles are good... i dun think x360 launch
games were any good as well.

I'm kinda curious with Oblivion.. is it really that good ?

Eventhough i haven`t compare the game with HD and none HD togther but i can
definitely tell you that the different is huge. Try sitting 4 feets away
from the 42" plasme, 5.1 souround and play the PGR3, the gaming really jump
on you . You really can really think that you can feel the wind blowning.
The immersive factor is incredible. But if you play on the normal TV, you
loose out a lot. The viewing is canned/cut on normal TV and the picture is
not that sharp.
The soon to be release titles will surely convince you to get one:-
-Gear of war
-Too Human
-Lost Planet
-Chromohounds
-Test Drive:unlimited
-Halo 3
and many others must have titles.
I didn`t try out Oblivion in X360 but pc. Frankly, pc version is more
beautiful compare to X360(as long as you have the proper rig to power it,
as i`m using XFX7900GTX with 2G ram and Athlon64 X2 4200+), but X360 has a
better sourround sound quality.
Now playing Nighty-Nine-Night(N3), the game throw a thousand orcs at once
on you, yes true, a thousand plus orcs warriors on you. Just imagine the
scale of this. Just one word, WOW.

Here is some interesting read for you:-
