Oh. I guess it's just me-- I can't stand listening to music CDs through my TV. I guess I'm an audiophile of some kind-- I need the high quality hi-fi, man! I've never used a console as a CD player.

Well, I take that back. I once played around with the built-in CD player on the TG-CD in like 1997 just to see what it was. I remember it locked up on me because the CD I was trying to play had a scratch or a fingerprint or something. I then realized the ridiculousness of what I was trying to do (why the f*ck am I trying to listen to a CD through my TV?!?) so I turned it off, slapped some sense back into myself and used a real stereo. I never again had any urge to try to listen to a CD through my TV.

Although maybe I'll go try with the Saturn so I can see this super-mega-awesome-powered spaceship everyone loves so much.

The Saturn is the best not because of the spaceship(which is still cool), but because of the awesome controls and stereo cubes/spheres.

I line most of my consoles up to a stereo anyway. Except for my LCD, which has similuated surround sound that sounds better for games than using the room's speakers.

Yes, those stereocubes are the shit!

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

The Jaguar's Virtual Light Machine is pure LSD fueled sexiness - much more funky than the Saturn.  Of course, it still looks like a toilet and most games play like what you'd find floating in 'em.

I would only take a PS3 if it were given to me.

and then I would make a video of myself destroying it.  :dance:

I want a PS3 solely for the Blu-Ray player.  I want HD movies.  I have come close to buying the Xbox360 HD-DVD player, but it lacks HDMI and I am all out of component jacks.  The Xbox360 kind of looks like ass through component due to the switcher I have it hooked up to (the Pelican component switcher, which sucks horribly) and supposedly the component cables included with the 360 aren't exactly the best.  I'd probably also get Motorstorm, but there really isn't anything else worth getting for the system.  I'll probably hold off.

Also, the spaceship on the Saturn CD player is way better than a real spaceship.  I've been abducted by aliens many times and they don't even compare.  They are always sad when I tell them that they're not as good.

plus hd dvd is still restrictive on quality when compared to the awesome capacity of the blueray. We're talking about uncompressed hd audio and video  :)

I doubt we'll ever see uncompressed HD video on any of the consumer HD formats.  Digital cinema in real movie theaters isn't even uncompressed.

You could always get a 360 Super Wonder Mega You Suck & I Don't Elite Edition for the HDMI, but I think a stand alone HD-DVD player would be the better option if your not interested in the games.  From comparisons that I've read, the 360 doesn't do the best job with sound and video quality for movies when compared to dedicated players.

The Saturn CD player doesn't provide anal probing, so it's infinitely superior (or inferior, depending on which side you butter your bread) to alien spaceships.

360 or PS3.

360 it has the games but there is the red ring of death problem....

PS3 expensive still but i wouldn't worry about it breaking so easily.

I agree. And the Wii is weak. Neither of these consoles interest me. Damn this generation, it truly is the worst yet! So far, at least.
I'm satisfy with owning a, Wii so i knew i was getting a upgraded GC from the start.

Still i haven't play it much since those key titles like, Mario Galaxy and MP3 are not out yet.

For the most part.. i've been playing my older consoles more PS2,NEO and Famicom etc.

I'm not too concern over the current generation of consoles yet any ways.

The good news for 360 fans (all eighteen of 'em) is that Sony's price cut will put the pressure on MS.  Maybe they'll actually improve the cooling for the 360 when they switch to the 65nm processors and lower the price.  At this point, I'm guessing that MS will wait for the 360's replacement to sell a well built console.  And why not?  It worked for Sony.
