"Anticipation rating for PS3...."

...mine just went through the roof. I just saw in-game footage of Killzone 2 and it was unbelievable. Get a copy of this months PSW, there are about 10 different titles and the majority of them look brilliant. So now I know there's be plenty of titles I want to play, and that isn't even including GTA, I can't wait for PS3, supposing it is £300.

Quick word on that Killzone 2 video. In case you hadn't already been notified, Sony recently confirmed it was created in a top of the range PC, not any of the hardware associated with the PS3.

Unlike the video for MGS4, which was created with PS2 hardware and still looks bloody silly (and good).

Microsoft are getting first shot at getting the largest userbase.

From a business standpoint that's a strong start.

They're also currently the best at console online gaming and they've got a lot more interesting licences now (to kick-about when they need to).

On paper Microsoft should be off to a flying start. Sony are masters of hype, but Microsoft are good at hype and also good at providing a quality service.

It does look like I'll only be buying the other two consoles for the exclusives.

Then again the more powerful PS3 may win me over like the Xbox won me over from the Cube this time around (although I have my doubts about the controller).

Christmas I think.

Sony do have a slight rep for showing FMV and then saying "this is what the game will look like..." but who knows, maybe this time it WILL be that good, and maybe Nintendo are hiding some secret gadget that will change the way we look at gaming, and maybe Microsoft do understand the games market this time... anything's possible! ;-)

November I think.

Anyway sarcasm or not I was explaining clearly why my anticipation rating for the PS3 isn't high. The less time I have before I get my hands on a game/console the more I allow myself to be interested in it.

It was half scarcasm, half "what, really?"

When's the 360 out then?

Sarcasm?

...

'about a year'

360 out a year before the PS3? That's news to me.

I'd give my anticipation rating as 0.5/10.

There's another console coming out about a year before the PS3.

I'm more interested in playing that at the moment. I'm not jumping the gun and saying 360 will be better/the best I am however saying I care more about the one that I can get my hands on first and have fun with.

I bet they will still be making Midway or Atari classics for it

It's already been confirmed that the PS3 footage from E3 was fake, I'm guessing it's the same for the magazine disc.
