The Wii is crap. I never play on mine now. In fact I am giving it away to poor people hit by tornados. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
most of the games for it are total, total shit. but I've enjoyed Super Smash Bros, Mario Galaxy, Resident Evil 4, Metroid Prime, and Zelda. |

ditto. In fact I probably would have bought a 360 already, except for the fact that just thinking about contributing to their monopoly makes me ill. It's got some good games for real. But now it seems that PS3 is catching up, and if the prices go down a bit more, I might just have to buy one. |

I like umbrella chronicles. Bustin zombie heads without analogue sticks feels special. |

the xbox 360 is complete garbage, i can't believe so many people are still buying these things. sure, the system has some great games. but it is the most faulty, disfunctional, cheaply made video game system in the history of video games. there is an entire list of things that will go wrong with it over time. |

test three games you like on both, make your decision, and if you don't like it, blame me. |

THANKS A LOT YOU GUYS!!! you've all just made it wayyy harder for me to decide which one to get. Every post is telling me to get the other console! |

it's easy: ps3. the 360 only has exclusives that also come out for the pc. plus, as the horny boys up there mentioned, you can masturbate with the ps3 dual shock |

Well I'm really enjoying my 360 now, mainly for its PC ports. Whether they can be played on PC or not is irrelevant to me, because I hate sitting by a computer to play games, I hate having to upgrade all the time, and I prefer the analog control of a pad to directional buttons on a keyboard. |

I think if youre not a big gamer, or dont really like Metal Gear Solid, then go for the Xbox 360, it's just got a wide variety of games. I got a Ps3 for the MGS4, I've always been into MGS, even though iven never even played MGS2. and i just like Playstations, but if i had the opportunity, i would have bought a Xbox since i'm not a game fanatic |

And Nintendo has a history of doing more evil, greedy and unfair things than Sony or MS' game divisions ever thought of doing. Though EA is hot on their heels... tragedy- Condemned 2 is for PS3, Condemned 1 is 360 only. 1 is much better than 2, it was actually my first 360 game. |

Burnout Paradise or Grid from Codemasters? |

"evil, greedy and unfair things" Tell us more! I want to be nastily surprised. I want my image of Mario to be tarnished forever... tarnished in the blood of innocents. |

The monopolistic Npire practiced dirty business and licensing tactics, until Sega bravely sacrificed themselves to weaken it, then Sony heroically took up the fight to liberate the third parties with the PS1 HURRAH! Hiroshi Yamauchi made MS's game division look saintly |

PS3 out of those two, X-Box has better games for now but the PS3 will win out in the longrun... but i'd honestly recommend the Wii over either of them. Those two consoles don't really offer anything new to gaming apart from improved graphics... Smash Bros is worth the purchase alone! And remember the Wii hasn't really reached its potential yet... needs more 3rd party support but i have a feeling things are going to improve over the next year or so |

I've got an Atari Lynx I'll sell you for the same price as a XB360.... California Games inc. |

I think I will buy a PS3 tomorrow, as long as the MGS4 bundle is available. We Euros still get a shit deal, but I must have the game. |

I read a very interesting book some years ago, detailing the history of Nintendo of America (NoA) and the conquest of the Western markets for Nintendo during the 80's. There was all kinds of weird stuff going on. It was a good read, too. I can't remember the title even though I tried looking at amazon... |

lol, just yesterday I was cleaning out the closet and found my atari lynx.. I only ever had california games and one other game. I can't even remember which one, it's been so long since I've played it. |

I get this at work all the time. It really depends on what you want. In terms of gaming, the 360 is better just because it has more games and developers are in better control of the technology because it's recent. In terms of third party software, both systems are dead-on, and ps3 ports have caught up to 360 ports as of late. Of course, the 360 will be succeeded in a few years by whatever Blu-Ray fueled system they're cooking up, and who knows what they'll charge for it, or what lovely Red Rings or New RINGS of Death we can expect from this one. Also, Wi-Fi requires a $100 USD adapter (or a Wireless HUB) and you'll pay $50 a year USD for online play. That said, 360 has a great online community and their network is well made, so you get what you pay for. The PS3 is supposedly good for another 8 years, and has wi-fi built in and free online play - something that Sony hopefully won't change anytime soon since it keeps money in their loyalists' pockets. The technology behind the PS3 is solid, and i'm getting no problems with them whatsoever where i work. However, the PS2 backwards compatibility was nixed in the newest model, and while the upcoming 80 GB for MGS4 will be BC, it's capabilities will be limited and not as stalwart as those of the departed 60GB. In addition, many PS3 games require an install before play, usually taking from a couple to multiple GBs - this means faster load times of course, but it can put the crunch on an HD real quick. But the good news is that I've heard of people expanding PS3 drives without even opening the damn things, and you can pretty much use any sort of flash drive on the damn thing. Also, the multimedia supports most audio and video formats, and the Blu-Ray player sure is pretty. In fact, the PS3 is the best you can buy of these high-ended new-fangled media devices which require a TV i'll never afford to truly appreciate. And an $80 cable. So.. the bottom line... Games, Online - Xbox 360 Longevity of Hardware, Multimedia - PS |

Now let's talk games. Plenty of third party games will be on both, and there's a lot of good ones coming. Fallout 3 Prototype Resident Evil 5 Silent Hill Homecoming Mercenaries 2 Alpha Protocol Soul Calibur IV Legendary Alone in the Dark (later this year for PS3) Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution Prince of Persia (squeeeeeee!) And now, exclusives.... Xbox 360: Too Human (and it's sequels) Halo Wars (meh) Fable 2 Gears of War 2 Banjo Kazooie 2 Viva Pinata 2 PlayStation 3: Resistance 2 Siren Blood Curse Killzone 2 Motorstorm Pacific Rift Final Fantasy XIII Metal Gear Solid 4 (double squeeeeeee!) Tekken 6 The Last Remnant God of War 3 |

Here is another big selling point. What do all your friends have? You will want to be able to hook up w them online, trade games, etc. |

It really is. After Mario Galaxy, which admittedly was great, I haven't touched mine either. I don't really understand it when people say that all the other consoles offer is better graphics, while the Wii offers something new. The Wii offers nothing new that's worthwhile; it just offers some waggle nonsense to enable mums and grandpas to enjoy its basic, ugly, short-lived party games with their families. It's just like pressing a button, only you flick a stick. Waving a remote around to do the same things buttons or a mouse or an analog stick can do does not make a gaming experience more tactile or immersive. HDTV 1080p and surround sound DO, however, and the Wii offers neither of those. Maybe I'm a graphics whore, but whatever. I'll take more power over the Wiimote any day. Maybe if it had been implemented better I'd have a different opinion, but it's been long enough now, and Mario Galaxy and Zelda and all its other games would have been fine without the tacked on Wii controls. |

Don't forget Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix that'll be available on Xbox marketplace. I am so looking forward to that stuff. |

You know, I was excited when I first saw the Ryu and Ken sprites, but everything after that has been horrifying. Spastic animation with frames that don't work together, cheap backgrounds that look like a bad flash cartoon... I'm still going to buy the game, but I'm scared. Conversely, I initially thought Street Fighter 4 looked bad, but every time I see it it looks better and better, and apparently the new characters are extremely fun to use. |

Going to get the PS3 MGS4 package @ midnight. I'm curious though, what is the % of the PS2 library that is BC with the 80gb PS3? |

wii, ps3 , x360 are all essential but you're not likely to buy all 3. it'll be frustrating just to have one. that's the competition these days! it was so easy when it was ps2, and N64/SNES before that. I advise you to get one of those old systems on ebay coz they're almost always just as good and sometimes better. wait till the next big thing comes out and wii/x360/ps3 are obsolete and get all 3 for the price of one. better yet just buy a cheap midi drum machine alesis hr16 and synth with internal sequencer korg ex800 or something. thats a $200 option and loads more fun! |

completely agree with you regarding street fighter hd remix, the animation looks terrible, the beta is avail if you download some shitty new game on xbox live, sf4 looks stunning, on another note have u heard about the new street fighter live action movie not containing ryu and ken? |
