Looks like the £180 price is looking quite likely at the moment. The main games right now haven't really done much for me but have just seen that Toca Race Driver 2 is expected to be released on it.
Damnit!!!
Can see me getting this for definite now. Will just have to have a BIG games clearout to justify it!

Some EA bod reckons the PS3 will have 'more under the hood' than the Xbox 2. The Revolution, while remaining mysterious, is looking increasingly better, what with the confirmation of an Online network (finally).
Then there's this whole '3 flavours' of Xbox 2. If this does come about, I'll be going for the mid-range one - with the HDD. I don't need the max spec one so there's no point in the extra expense.
The next 18 Months are going to be very interesting.

That basically means that there's more to explore, so over time the games will improve technically. Much like games made over the PS2 from the past few years, from Bouncer all the way to Chaos Theory.
Somehow I don't see online Revolution as being the saviour for Nintendo; if the console has the game support and marketing, then it'll stay up there near the top, but won't supersede the other two.
As you said though, a lot still isn't known about all three consoles. I guess the PS3 is once again the safe option.

Same here, except I might not get the Xbox 2. But i'm saving up for the next home consoles.
God knows I can't afford the time or money for both, I have a feeling if Nintendo get a decent line-up going for the launch then I'll be drawn back to Ninty.
As nice as PSP and DS look, I'll be waiting for some really big price drops before I even consider getting one.
I wish I had the same level of restraint!!
As for the PSP. I am tempted but may wait until a UK price drop which will be later in the year I guess. One of the lecturers showed us their's and I was inpressed with it. Things can change though...
