I had a PS1. It's pretty much as simple as that. I loved both the games that I owned and the games that I rented on that system. At the time, the games spoke to me a lot more than anything the N64 had to offer, excluding a few titles. The PS1 was the systerm for more mature gamers and when the PS2 came out before XBox and the Gamecube there was no question in my mind that I wanted the system with the next level of gaming with the same type of games as soon as possible. The Xbox and the Gamecube werent quite out yet when I picked up my PS2 and I wasn't waiting for something that had not proved itself to me yet.

This time around, with the XBox 360 out and the PS3 and Wii on the horizon, the game is totally different. My decision is not so simple. Chances are, I will be able to afford an XBox 360 way before a PS3 will even be available to me, much less affordable, and nobody knows what is going on with Nintendo's Wii.

I have played enough of the XBox to know the 360 has and will continue to have killer games and will probably continue to have the best library after getting a year headstart for quite a while. I will definately get a PS3, but it wont be for about another year or so. I just dont have that kind of money for something that will probably come in second this time around in the console race. Not right now.
