Wii, 360, or PS3

What's the general feeling then?

The last system I owned was an N64 which I was given; prior to that it was a SNES... which I was also given! I'm thinking of actually buying my first console soon, and wondered what peoples thoughts are.

I'd like something reliable, that has the ability to do more than just play games... and it's gotta look good. What can I say, I'm a sucker for looks!

a PS3 look better and the graphics or great but cost a fortune for game.
get a wii or a 360

I heard too many RROD stories to buy the 360... looks like it'll be the Wii then!

**on_the_jazz** · 18th August, 2009, 09:23 PM

360 or Wii because of softmods.

New jasper 360's run very cool, besides which you're covered for rrod under your warranty

**-Hox-** · 18th August, 2009, 09:28 PM

Yeah, the different chips right?! Smirnoff said they come with a 3 year warranty now... which to be fair, is bloody good.

between the xbox and ps3, its close.

ps3 is a lot more expensive, and the games are too but online gaming is free and it has blueray.

xbox is good value, bigger online community but does cost 3 quid a month. it is also a media pc machine so you can stream videos and music to it.

the xbox has more games available and always will as the ps3 doesnt have many game developers sniffing around

i bought the xbox have ps for years. i prefer it tbh

Are you mad there is only 1 gaming console worth buying!! Online may cost a bit but what you get for the money is the best ever.

Plus ps3 will never match xbox as Microsoft own all rights to online gaming features hence the reason why any other online console cannot compete with the quality of online.

The reason ps3 is expensive is only due to blue ray.

Buy a blue ray drive for your pc and watch videos that way.

**-Hox-** · 18th August, 2009, 10:23 PM

So basically then, if I buy all three then I'm sorted right?! Haha!

**ticticboom** · 18th August, 2009, 10:46 PM

best bet is a 360 ps3 is still a bit expensive but the 360 online is in a league of its own

**-Hox-** · 18th August, 2009, 10:48 PM

Ok cool, so 360 sounds like the gamers choice. But... aren't there different versions? Like Elite, and something else???

**Time2Play** · 18th August, 2009, 10:59 PM

yea there is diffrant version but that normally just means bigger harddrives like you don't get a ahrddrive with standered premeum come swith a 60 i think and elite comes with 120 plus xboxes are cool plus flash the drive and all games become free
