xbox? xbox360? ps3? wii?

i love watching people argue about this. the truth is what console you get should come down to what games you want to play, not loyalty (read: fanboyism) to a specific company. no console itself is really superior to another, unless you nitpick which would grant 360 (considerable) online superiority, ps3 technological superiority, and wii holy-crap-this-is-fun-to-play-with superiority.
but truthfully it's the games, look at what's out and what will be out for each system and decide then. personally i wanted Resistance, MotorStorm, Lair, WarHawk, Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid 4, and Heavenly Sword (plus the Blu-ray and dvd upscaler to go with the HDTV) that PS3 offered, so that's what i got. but with games like Gears of War, Mass Effect, Halo 3, and Splinter Cell:Conviction, it may not be long before pick up a 360 too (o, i WILL be broke). and for the guy reading this about go: psh, "X" game sucks, "Y" game on "Z" console r0x0rz way harder; you've completely missed the point of what i just said, those are the games I like, if they're not the ones you like...you probly own a different console

if you wanna get technical i could bring up how thousands upon thousands of xbox's and 360's had to be immediately sent off to microsoft due to ciritcal errors because all the stores refused to do the instore refunds/exchanges. there was even a 2 day or less period where microsoft said "you're sol, pay for the fixes or buy a new system" on my local news, but later changed that... and you can probably bet your ass atleast on the 360's portion it was because microsoft was tryign to push their equipment out the door quicker. :rolleyes: talk about broken promises.

BF i totally agree on that point, the Blueray should be an option and not a standard as it's no doubt what's caused the price hike.

go ahead... neither i or anyoen i know ever had a problem with ours.... except my 2nd one (sold the first one after i got outta jail) was the slim model and it seems to get laggy in games after playing a few hours... which is quite fucking aggervating, but everyoen else seemed to love their slim model.. i shoulda just bought the old trusty big fucker <.<

but yeah, go ahead and speak your peice... i got no qualms with it.

your crazy the good old ps2 was amazing.. it set the standards. i never had ANY problems with it. i never used online on the ps2, i thought online was just starting out then and i didn't really bother with it. but normal gameplay was perfect.

one thing i don't like about the 360 is the controler... the ps3 one is much better.

I have a 360, but if I could change the past, I'd take a Wii and an extra $300 in my pocket!

I think you should go with the 360 for a number of reasons....

1) it has a pretty reasonable price when you consider what you're getting for it

2) Xbox Live always has been and probably always will be fuckin' amazing

3) Great diversity in games, its got something for everyone...

4) I personally think its the best-looking and has the best feeling controller out of all of them...

i totaly agree ... but tbh i would be quite happy to pay for a ps3, fare enough its expensive but but blueray is something i would want to have. its something you'll probably get later anyway. but this way you get it cheaper and with the ps3.

all i can find is the slight mentioning of anti-piracy and it doesn't go indepth... so if you already know why blueray is supposed to be bad, why don't you just share with us...

Blueray is a huge scam. The difference in quality is next to none and Sony expect everyone to replace their DVD collection of the past 5 years with something that costs up to 6 times the price. It's almost destined to fail either way.

While I think Sony have made a million wrong moves with the PS3s release, I think in a years time when the price has inevitably dropped and the REAL games start to appear it may have the chance to be top dog again. For now, I would recommend a 360 if you have the money, or if you don't, a Wii. The Wii is the best selling console at the moment (You realise Gamecube is still outselling PS3 right slipknot?) and it a great thing to play, not about the graphics but never was in the first place. Some excellent games coming out too, such as Mahunt 2, Mario Galaxy and Resi4 Wii Edition. Definitely the top pick above 360 and PS3 when it comes to multiplayer. You may even wanna think about getting a Wii AND a 360, they really are in a league of their own. In the meantime, it's clear that the PS3 is a terrible investment at this stage in time. Much better games on 360 and half the price, you can always change your mind later.

yeah, and look how much more a ps3 costs.... it's expensive as hell, just cuz it isn't selling as well doens't nessicarily mean shit about likes/dislikes.... i'm willing to bet my left nut the price is pretty much the only reason they aren't selling so well....
