My slush fund has hit the magical level so that I can now afford a next generation console. But which one should I choose?
As a PS2 player, the obvious upgrade path would be to go for a PS3. In fact, I really, really do want to go the Sony route. Problem is, I would be buying more on the promise of what the PS3 might do than anything else.
I remember telling my nephew that all that matters are the games (after he bought a N64). The hardware is just so much plastic and metal without games.
So being mindful that I don’t want to be hypocritical, how can I go for the PS3 when there are no compelling games around for it? Especially when there is a next gen console that does have a number of killer titles: the Microsoft XBox 360.
But there again, my favourite PS2 game is KillZone. KillZone 2 is coming to the PS3 exclusively early next year. I absolutely must play that game!
I am a bit stuck. If I buy the XBox 360 then I can’t play KillZone 2. If I buy the PS3 then I won’t be able to play titles like BioShock.
I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. It was so much easier last time.

You’re a grown man, just buy both.
I have a 360 right now, and there are some very cool games for it. I will probably buy a PS3 in half a year or so, just for sake of completeness.
@Lukas – well yeah I suppose I could do that. £600 in a year on consoles + another £600 on the LCD does seem a lot to play games though
