So are these boards just like a beta or something, or are we going to get console specific forums later on? Just wondering.

There are already forums for all platforms - see the list of Platforms - find whichever one you want to talk about and scroll to the bottom of its page for the forums belonging to that platform.
Every 'item' on Giant Bomb has its own forum - so there can be one for whatever you want (within the gaming world, within reason).

Haha, we should get a system wars as well. Believe it or not but a lot of people sign up to gaming sites just because they like to defend their consoles.

Oh god no. The less people that join up to argue about consoles, the better.

Lol - I love the implication that only consoles exist. Blinkers are optional. I'm sure you can be as narrow-minded and intolerant of gaming at large as you want. Guess you won't be patrolling the Commodore 64 forums then?

What really is needed though is a better forum index.

But if we had a forum index of the forums belonging to all 20,000+ games, 84 platforms etc. - that would be one hell of an index. Essentially, the entire site is the 'forum index'.
Perhaps the site could indeed do with way of sorting and finding the forums a bit easier though!

It's all about the games. Not the platforms. Giantbomb har got gamespaces, one per game even though it's on different platforms.
