As you've no doubt gathered from reading the site, we're multi-system. Most of the time that makes us extremely cool and a hit at parties, but there are times when it's a curse. For example, we're going to get Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii on Nov. 12, then just one week later we get Mass Effect on 360. That's bad, but now we find out we have to contend with Uncharted: Drake's Fortune being released on that exact same day. Yep, that pretty much confirms we won't have time for turkey and cranberry sauce this Thanksgiving (though we might make an exception for pie).
So, whether you can't afford a PS3, you're still desperately searching your local Toys 'R' Us for a Wii or you're left without a 360 thanks to the RRoD, just remember: It could be much worse -- you could have all three.

Already planned on getting all 3 so its good to have a confirmed date for uncharted.
Just like Blue Dragon, Lair, and Warhawk and Metroid all dropped so close together, I'll enjoy game jumping with these as well.

It's funny, but this post is so true (even though it's a joke). I mean, I have so much to play between the Wii and 360 that I can't figure out when I'm going to have the time to play them or where the money to buy them is going to come from. If I had the PS3, I think my head would asplode.

I'm looking forward to running around the jungle; I've got a couple other games I'll be playing in that timeframe as well, but this will get the majority of game time. I just need to make sure I beat Heavenly Sword and Ratchet & Clank before these games come out.

this game looks fun but the uncanny valley stuff is quite strong.

Well, my 360 is down with the RRoD, so my Wii and Metroid has been keeping me warm at night. I have no idea what I'll do when I finish Metroid. I guess play it again in hyper mode. This gaming holiday is crazy though. Metroid, Bioshock (got two levels in before my 360 borked), Halo 3, Assassin's Creed, Orange Box, Mario Galaxy, Rock Band, and Mass Effect. Maybe by the time I'm done with those games GTA IV will come out. Sorry, no reason for me to buy a PS3 yet and with twins on the way I don't see my getting one for quite awhile.

Good luck getting yours back. Mine's been gone for a few weeks now, and they haven't even checked it into the repair center yet. My PS3 has been there for me, though.

I know the feeling. I've got all three. Diving play time is going to be rough the next few months. I also have a job and go to school...
I shoulda did the fanboy thing and stuck with ONE.

Awesome. I love my 360 Elite. No problems AT ALL... but this game does look sweet. Congrats to PS3 owners. Definitely a game to look forward to. Hopefully my friend will pick this one up for his PS3. As much as Halo 3 will keep me busy all season, Drakes Fortune looks beautiful.

Mr. P, I've heard that it's taking a long time. Right now my status is "No pending repair". I was like, WTF!! and called the service line. They said it's in the repair center and to call back in a week to see how it's going. At this rate I won't have to worry about this holiday season as far as 360 games are concerned.

This and LittleBigPlanet are the only things that make me a lil curious about the ps3.
I'll wait till we see some more gameplay footage b4 I make any judgements. So far though I don't see anything unique about it other than the shiny graphics.

Played it when it was called Tomb Raider and the character was a woman. This is different than the Lost game?

OUCH...it BURNS!
Lol...but really thats the general impression I get everytime I look at the game.
Maybe it will be Tomb Raider on steriods though and with a great storyline.
Perhaps it will be so awesome (like I'm talking Super Mario Galaxy and Legend of Zelda awesomeness) that I won't have any choice but to buy a ps3 just to experience this game.
Then again I highly doubt it...:)

Ya, I only kid.. the game does look nice.. But definitely nothing that we haven't seen before, it seems. I'm sure it will at the very least be a solid game.

Tomb Raider, mmmm maybe not.
He is not a professional at what he does. He is an average joe. The way he moves (he cannot make backflips in the are while shooting) is sloppy but fluid. But it doesnt seem like he is no fun to play with.
Thats just what I got from the video clips anyway, we'll see.

Mass Effect is an absolute must-buy for me. Mario - maybe. Uncharted I'll wait for reviews; it's Naughty Dog, so I'm sure it'll be fine, but I want to know more about the overall game before picking it up.

For those who own all three systems do what I did. After calculating how much it was going to cost for me to buy all the games I wanted for PS3/360/Wii this year, I figured my total was going well into the $2000 range.
Instead I came to the conclusion: buy the TRULY awesome games that you know you'll play for a long time, for example the Halo 3's and Warhawks, Mass Effect so on...
Then just get Gamefly or Blockbuster or whatever and just play the new releases until your heart's content. Then send it back get another new release and so on. Screw buying all the games, I just want to play them.

IDK how you guys do that with three systems. Even with two (ps3 and PC) its difficult as hell!
