PS3 , 360 or a Wii

[mangle]

Right , alot of should I buy a 360 or a Wii or a Ps3 threads have been coming up recently and tbh we should just have one that people can refer to and others can add their own opinions to.

360
The 360 is my prefered console , it is the 2nd cheapest out of all three and delivers the highest standard of games. It currently comes with a core , premium and elite style which basically means
No hard drive
20gb Hard drive
120gb Hard drive

Xbox live is thrown around alot , it is the online playing function for Xbox 360. Most of its games have playable content online but you will need a 40 pound xbox live gold subscription and a hard drive to play it.

PS3
The PS3 is the newest console to the market out of these three and offers many advantages. It comes with a huge 60gb hard drive which can be used very effectively. It has built in WiFi which is FREE thus you can access online games for free. It also has "Home" which is a revolutionary new feature which has 3D avatars roaming , talking and sharing music. It also features Six Axis function which basically means if you tilt your controller something will happen on screen. Another great advantage with this is that it comes with "Blue ray". Sonys answer to HD , it offers amazing quality films and images on the PS3 and the great thing is you don't have to buy anything extra as it's built in.

Wii
As most people on our forum have said the Wii is for the less "Hardcore gamers" which in my opinion is utter nonsense. It's the cheapest and argubally the most fun out of all three consoles. It has a wireless controller where if you move it your character/weapon/something else will move on screen thus adding masses of fun. It comes with Wii sports which is a great way to have fun , it also is great for playing with others. A perhaps disadvantage is that many of the users have been complaining the "novelty wears off" after a while.

Thankyou and add your opinions if you want :)
Hope it helped!

Companion Cube agrees with you

[Wootzeh]

the £40 pound xbox live subscription makes it sound like loads, make it like £4 a month :P

[mangle]

the £40 pound xbox live subscription makes it sound like loads, make it like £4 a month :P
That'd make it 48 pounsd a year though? :P

[Fez]

the £40 pound xbox live subscription makes it sound like loads, make it like £4 a month :P
lolwut, it is £40 and as Mangle said, Eckxbaxk owners are getting quite a good deal. Companion Cube disagress with you!

[Wootzeh]

But it makes it sound like you HAVE to pay £40 to play Live, where you only have to pay £15 for 3months ^^

[Fez]

lets see here

12 divided by 3 = liek umm 4

4 x £15 = £ 60

I think £40 is a pretty good deal for a whole year

Companion Cube still disagrees

[Technologic]

PS3 totally!

When is home out btw?

[Fez]

January I think, or smarch

[Neil]

Well no poll as I don't actually have the power to add one, I don't think I can edit but I'm pretty sure it's got to be an unvoted poll for me to edit them so yea xD
I think it'll become a bit too much of an argument with a poll anyway, because people will vote for what they own, not what they think is the best

[Technologic]

January I think, or smarch
Im sure it ws this year...

[Nemo]

January I think, or smarchDam smarch weather!


Wii FTW :}

I'd personally recommned the 360. My sister has got a Wii and I don't think much to it at all.

Not played on a PS3 not interested in it either. The 360 for me is the best purely for it's online service. online gaming is where it's at with console gaming, and Live is head and shoulders above any other online service via console.

[PaulMacC]

I recommend the Wii, sure it's gaming library hasnt got off to a flying start but within' the next few months you'll see
Metroid Prime 3
Super Smash Brothers Brawl
Super Mario Galaxy
Rayman Raving Rabbids 2
Mario Kart Wii
Final Fantasy Crystal Ring Bearers
Soul Calibur Legends
Endless Ocean
Star Wars Something (Wi-Fi) :D

Theres no point really adding a poll anyway as xbox 360 will reign top due to it being out longer and being cheaper, if you live in the US however, you will be able to get a 40gb ps3 for only $400 soon which is the same price as the xbox 360. I personally own a ps3 even though only around 4-5 friends own one, the rest own xbox's. Also about the Wii, even though two of my friends owns them, i've played and found it fun but less what i look for in a game which is combat, fighting, shooting and driving (not quite like the Wii's versions, i like the graphics on the xbox 360 and ps3). So i personally see the Wii as being aimed at the younger generation then older (i know many will disagree but its what i think) And i know the amount of PS3 games currently available is limited to around 90 (i think i read) but is soon to be going up, give it time as the xbox took time to gain there selection of games.

heres a couple of interesting links comparing them.

I have a PS3 and love it. Played on 360 and just couldnt take to it. Not played on Wii so cant possibly comment, however I have been told the novelty wears off after a while, and the combat, fighting and sport games can be extreamly difficult.

With the PS3, I think that the most impressive thing about it is what it can do, not what it currently does. I think for the future the PS3 will have a good selection of games, and a established online system and in the long term good value for money. I also heard that only 1% of PS3s fail, so its good if your looking for a reliable console. In graphics terms, 360 and PS3 are about the same so graphics is not really a thing to go by.

[Neversoft]

The novelty doesn't wear off of the Wii imo. People who say that just keep playing the same games over, so it seems that way. As with every console, a game will get boring eventually. In my opinion Wii games keep you entertained for longer than other console games. So, really, the novelty doesn't wear off at all. If you think it does then you shouldn't even own a Wii, or you should buy some new games and try some of the new features and channels.

It's a rather stupid question anyway, Wii, 360 or PS3? Everyone likes different things and should decide for themself, not ask others. This kind of question cannot have a straight answer.

360 :} im playing on mine now :D everyone must by the game Skate! Its awesome just completed it
