My favourite Gaming Console is PS3-i just love Sony not only for the technology they bring to the people but also and for the Great variety of games they Produce.My favorite Game is "Silent Hill".I am even more happier because there is a movie already in the cinemas based on that Game.

i think my favorite console would be PS3 as well... but it's not for sale yet, so I must say xbox 360. i own a PS2, and when PS3 is out, i'll see if i can buy one (i can imagine how expensive it will be)

I love my good old ps2
also love my psp
both cause of the ability to run homebrew stuff like xvidplayer, selfmade games and so on.

my favourite gaming console is the xbox and the xbox 360....

but at the moment i don't own a hdtv flatscreen which means i can't see the brilliant graphics of the xbox 360 ... i only have a rather old tv...

I love PS2 and steel playing on my

Now That's really cool

"Entertainment boss Ken Kutaragi has suggested the upcoming Playstation 3 will come equipped with a hard disk. And the hard disk may come with Linux pre-installed.

Kutaragi is miffed that the likes of Nintendo and Microsoft won't call their consoles computers. Nintendo, he complains to Japanese site Impress PC Watch, "keeps telling the world their consoles are 'toys'," while Microsoft keeps calling the Xbox a "game machine".

"We're positioning the PS3 as a supercomputer", he says, "But people won't recognize it as a computer unless we call it a computer, so we're going to run an OS on it. In fact, the Cell can run multiple OSes. In order to run the OSes, we need a hard disk. So in order to declare that the PS3 is a computer, I think we'll have [the hard disk] preinstalled with Linux as a bonus.

Kutaragi said the PS3 will run operating systems as applications. "The kernel will be running on the Cell, and multiple OSes will be running on top of that as applications. Of course, the PS3 can run Linux. If Linux can run, so can Lindows. Other PC Operating Systems can run too, such as Windows and (Mac OS) Tiger, if the publishers want to do so. Maybe a new OS might come out," he adds.

He says that providing hard disk with the PS3 will permit the, um, console, to be used as a computer - for applications beyond gaming. Video editing and photo retouching are examples of applications that could be run on a Linux-powered PS3, he suggests.

It is not yet clear whether a hard disk will ship with the PS3 as standard or whether it will be and optional extra. "There are still some issues if the machine doesn't come with a hard disk," said Kutaragi. "We've added a 2.5-inch HDD bay so that users can add hard disks, such as 80GB and 120GB," he said.

The Xbox 360 is expected to ship with a 20GB hard drive as standard. It is not expected to be running Linux."

Its most definetly all about the SNES.
Old school with sweet graphics and excellent games. Its definetly one of the major poineers

Favourite Gaming Console ha? hmm let me think about it... i can say that i've played on Nintendo,Sega and PS2.I realy enjoyed playing on the PS2 becouse it realy is a great way to spend some free hours infornt the TV and playing some racing games... real nice... and the sound was (is) great.

Looking in the future the new PS3 will be like a computer... realistic graphics and great sound... what more?

Got to be my DS at the moment. Everything else hasn't got many great games on it.

PS3.. i just believe in Sony

I'm a die hard xbox fan, but only for its hackability. Development has progressed farther for the community more than any other console. What can I say, Microsoft just doesn't code stuff right.

As for game variety, though, I'd stick with the Playstations.

I've probably spent the most amount of time with my DS. The PSP is very pretty, but I usually only turn it on to play Burnout Legends.

My Good oldschool hxc ATARI... I actually own about 75% of the Atari game cartridges... COMBAT anyone?

I'm satisfied with my PS2. Here, PS3 is still unavailable.
