Yeah, me too - PS3 and Wii

They'll fit right perfectly with my solid gold TV :) Great picture quality, but man is it heavy...

Yes, in an ideal world, I would love to combine the innovation and gameplay I expect from Nintendo and the slick HD-ness of a PS3 - but that's waaaaaay too much money. This Xmas, it'll have to be a Wii and hopefully the PS3 next year...

Wii

Wii all the way!

good price, inovative game play. And although bleeding edge the graphics won't suck!

Most of all I say price.

400 and up is too much to pay for a game system

PS3 and Wii rocks!!!

Xbox is crappy - BSODs, thermal issues. It's not good - both graphics and gameplay wise. PS3's the best for grapics, and Wii (or as I like to call it "Nintendo Revolution", as is sounds MUCH cooler) is the best for gameplay.

Funny. When I tagged this in del.icio.us the recommended tag was "sony". Some jokers in the social network.

The Wii's brains finally exposed?

by Owyn - 10/31/06 10:58 AM In reply to: Wii by Owyn

"Back in August, a set of alleged specs were leaked for the IBM-designed "Broadway" CPU that forms the brains of Nintendo's forthcoming Wii console. I took a look at what the leaked information said about Broadway's microarchitecture, and noted that this exact same information applied to the GameCube's CPU, codenamed Gekko. Because the leaked specs for Broadway were identical for Gekko's specs, I offered the following evaluation:

There are clearly two options here:

1. The MaxConsole specs are someone's idea of a joke.
2. The Wii really is just an overclocked GameCube with a DVD player, in which case the joke's on Nintendo.

It appears that, contrary to what I ultimately concluded in the original post, the correct answer is behind door number two. "

I think you would be best off with a Wii

by Jrd3478 - 10/27/06 6:37 PM In reply to: Wii, PS3, or 360? by adl139

Based on what I can see from your profile you only have an standard definition tv so you cant do HD gaming. You also already have some Nintendo systems so I assume you like Nintendo. Also you already have the Wii on your "want it" list. Finally assuming the 92 at the end of the user name is the year you were born you should be around 14ish so unless you have an after school job you probably don't have much money to spend on games so the inexpensive Wii would be the best choice.

Don't get the Wii!!!!

Hi I had the wii and I thought it was awful.Barely any games,no good online and you will get bored with it eventualy I know I did.Get the Xbox 360 elite or the PS3.Great online(Xbox only),great games.The xbox has great games already.The PS3 will have good games but not as good as the Xbox 360.Because the xbox 360 has loads of exclusives eg.Halo,PGR,Mass effect,Forza and much more.VERDICT:XBOX 360 ELITE OR THE PS3

Apples and Oranges

by DROrr - 10/27/06 7:02 PM In reply to: Wii, PS3, or 360? by adl139

Comparing the three is like comparing a Mercedes, BMW and Toyota.

the 360 and ps3 are in the high end category...

The wii is basically for novice users or kids. We discussed this on a previous thread....

Novice/kids system?

by gogomama - 11/1/06 4:20 PM In reply to: Apples and Oranges by DROrr

I'm not really a fan of calling the wii a novice/kids system. Believe me, I game a lot. I have a 360 with plenty of time clocked on it, and I don't even want to count the number of hours clocked in MMOs online. Even so I'm really excited about the Wii. I just look forward to games that are origional and different after so many years of FPS, RTS, racing, and sports games that are, in essence, copies of one another with different skins and slight changes made to them.

I know I'm selling a lot of games short by saying that, and I'm not saying that if you've played one FPS you've played them all, but the fact that so many games are so similar to so many others just drives me nuts. I look forward to the Wii in hopes that with a new controller system we'll see some new innovative games. That's what gets me excited as a gamer.
