I voted Revolution simply because of the online download service (which I guess counts...) since it's the coolest thing ever. As for the normal online thing, I'll have to go with the 360, except there's a decent chance Nintendo gets their online act together, and if they do, wow.

I voted X360. Partially from ignorance, sure; but XBLA rocks, achievements are cool, buddly lists/messaging and voice chat and all that good stuff.

Revo will utilize WiFi out of the box, which is really cool. Virtual console sounds alright, though personally I prefer physically owning games I pay for. I know nothing of PS3's infrastructure plans.

I voted PS3. Mainly because of its free architecture and the leeway given to developers to charge their own fees as they see fit. This will be very good for games that are MMO-styled. Plus the PS3 online features sound very scrumptious with in-game messaging and a remote discussion board that is still active even when the PS3 is off.

I voted Revolution. Mainly because i'm biased.

PS3 because it has the largest install base through it's b/c with ps2.

And we all know how Devs pander to the most viable profit (ie potential customers).

I think it will be Revolution because you can get there games from NES, SNES, N64, PC Engine, ... and you can play games like (perhaps) SSBR online.

If the Rev has the same gay friends code thing as the DS, then even with the virtual console, 360 will still be the online champion. (though it's filled with flaming fags)

I think what's-his-face said some rev games will be playable online with other people even if you are the only one with the game. Just like the DS and GBA.

I don't know anything about PS3 online.

i voted rev kuz downloadin snes games is just plain awesome. but i agree with phoenizfire, in just online multiplayr, it'll be 360. its got more to offer, thats y u gotta pay. if the rev can get sum decent multiplayer (no friend codes) for free and the virtual console, the rev wins in the end.

I choose not to vote yet until more information is known for Rev and PS3 online.

Voting now is like voting for the hottest chick based on their feet.

xbox live will be hard to beat. I dont think nintendo will come close, with the exception of the virtual console.

Nintendo claims that the archaic friend code and blind matchmaker concepts are their intentions, but keep in mind that even though we (most of us) love Nintendo, they are still a rather arrogant company (though not as much as most of their competitor's executives). I'm sure they just do what they're doing because they're not very experienced with online. Give it time, I'm sure Nintendo will get their act together. By the Revolution launch? Maybe. Eventually? Almost certainly.

I find it funny that the 360 is losing the vote dispite it's parent system beating the pants off the other 2 online right now.
