...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.

This is what sticks out that you keep repeating: "I don't know about this or I don't know about that".
Do somemore research then. I can at least name 3 games I want a 360 for, one of which I've seen in-game footage for: Oblivion, Ghost Recon 3 and Perfect Dark Zero.
Do I want to wait to see if two of these appear on PS3 (PDZ is exclusive) or would I rather play them now on a 360? I'd rather play next-gen games now, I've seen Ghost Recon 3 gameplay footage and it looks great. If the PS3 was out first and with GR3 would I be waiting for 360? Not a chance.
Take a look at the information about 360 titles then comeback and if you can tell me you're not excited about one of them I'll be surprised.
There is nothing stupid about wanting to get to grips with next-gen games as soon as possible.

You see it as a 360 vs PS3 debate. I don't.
I've been weighing up the pros and cons of each here and I intend to get both, even if I only get one for the exclusives.
As far as starting games on 'Easy mode' it really depends on the game and it also depends on how much I want to get out of the game: I went through Max Payne on all the difficulty settings bar the timed one (not my sort of thing) and got a lot more playability out of the game than if I'd finished it on the hardest setting first, that is commonsense.
Regardless of whether you did or did not call people stupid you fell back on inflammatory language which you must've known would be replied to in a similar manner.
I don't care which one wins. If you actually READ back to the earlier posts like I asked you to you would see that I said PS3 might come out on top because it is the more powerful machine for multiformat - the same way I bought the more powerful Xbox because the cube wasn't the machine to own for multiformat releases.
Somewhere along the line you've mis-interpreted what I've said as an attack on the PS3 and gotten your fanboy pants all knotted up. I don't care who 'wins' the console war. I wantto play next-gen games and I want to play them now, not in 9 months etc.
Funny thing is you claim I've talked a lot of rubbish on the original topic but if you re-read your earlier posts you'll see you've been making excuses for Sony: "It'll be ready when it's ready" sort of comments. That's fanboy stuff, you're average gamer (hardcore or otherwise) just wants to get his hands on next-gen games and play them to death.
Like I said if the PS3 were to come out first I'd get that, I want to play games not weigh up every little pro and con or side with the console that's did best last time around. It's all about the games.

No, I'm not particularly excited yet. Why? Because I don't know a lot about the games, and the ones I know something about aren't the sort I'd usually be interested in. Killzone, for instance. The graphics are, as expected, pretty much amazing all round, and I've been excited about what the new consoles will produce, but there's no individual games that have grabbed my attention as yet, as far as I can remember. Nothing to direct any excitement towards, bar sketchy things that I know will happen but have little knowledge on, like Pro Evo and Resi.
I wouldn't call myself a casual gamer, because in my mind casual gamers know little about future releases, play for half an hour a day etc. Not the twelve hour stints that I often do.
Neither would I call myself "hardcore." It's arrogance. I don't spend literally all my time on games, I don't buy every console for the sake of having every console. I don't know the complexities of C++ code.
Both "hardcore" and "casual" are terms I dislike, because obviously most people don't fit into either stereotype. It's a sliding scale, not one or the other.

That wasn't even my point. I don't care about typos.

Yes, that's right, because I resent being called a fanboy. I also resent the fact that someone who I have previously heard to say that they play through games on easy mode first call themselves "hardcore." So I gave you a little background.

I didn't call people stupid, I said it would be stupid to make a decision based only on a nine month/seven month/whatever you lower it to next gap.

I've already admitted I don't know much about the N64's games, I said that as explicitly as I could in my last post. Once again you bring us back to it, because you know you've talked a lot of rubbish on the original topic.
I'll say it again: I don't know a great deal about the N64 and it's games, because I didn't own one. The reason that point cropped up was because you used it as an analogy of the 360 vs PS3 debate. And that was never really the issue that I took up, so it's irrelevant. If you think the 360 will win and Sony's machines will fail, then good for you. You may well be right, how should I know? If the PS3 fails, I'll get a 360/Revolution/whatever else looks good for me at the time. Not really a big deal who makes it or what badge is on it, I'll buy the one that has what I want to play.

If you want to talk about 'la la la I can't hear you' approaches take a good look at your posts resorting to inflammatory language such as calling people 'stupid'.
Then take at look at your ignorant comments on Nintendo games where you rely on referring to Gamecube games only because you simply don't know much about the previous Nintendo console.
As far as you trying to prove your credibility gaming-wise: you don't seem to be particularly excited about being able to play next-gen games. Either you're a casual gamer or a fanboy hardcore one.
*Shrugs*
Oh and yes it is funny, believe it or not.

Yup.
25 minutes load time from tape for Arcadia on the Commodore 64. And it was rubbish.
That's why, as an older gamer, it doesn't bother me at all that my PS2 occasionally takes 30 seconds to load a level - while the current *ahem* "hardcore" pillocks find it unforgiveable.
