Good to know, I haven't played the 360 but if I buy one it'll probably be the Wii since it's the cheapest and I mostly only play sports games anyways.

Chisoxfn Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I'm gonna buy the 360 later today at Costco and set it up. I was won over when I realized I could stream high definition content I have on my computer to my big screen. Of course I don't have XP Media Center but apparently you can still do it, I'm just going to have to figure out how. Plus I can stream all my music over.

chimpy2121 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I love 360, but I want to get a Wii just because it's a different sort of console. IMO Wii shouldn't go up against PS3 and 360; It stands by itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Wii shouldn't go up against PS3 and 360; It stands by itself. which is the way nintendo wants you to look at it. They intentionally made it drastically different because they knew they couldn't compete in the same kind of market as the other two. Pretty awesome move by them.

And than since ps3 has free internet and 360 doesnt thats another 60 dollars a year. And than the fact that the ps3 is just a better system unless your a halo fan...

If I had the money, the PS3 would be my hands down choice. It's the most powerful of the three, has a blu-ray player, free internet play (which was a HUGE plus on the PS2), and is home of my two favorite games Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid (though somebody here has told me MGS is no longer exclusive) even despite the MGS creator saying differently. But since I'm strapped for cash, I'll be getting the Wii because I enjoy a good game of Mario and have always loved Zelda. But soon as my wallet fills up a bit, I'm heading out to get the PS3.

I haven't really followed the Wii, but remember hearing about how the controller had some motion sensors I think you do some sort of motion with the controller for both. The PS3 controller has a motion sensor too, but I've never read, nor heard how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are blind to certain systems for instance... some people will only buy a ps3 no matter what because they had a ps2 and ps1 b4 that and its the same thing for people who had an xbox. Also there is the fact that the 360 came out earlier and right now is easier to get..... and than there is the halo which is a major selling point too. But unless you are a huge halo fan and have to get it, the ps3 is by far the better unit and considering what I said about costs its not really a big difference at all when it comes down to it. But hey, if you want a 360... im not going to stop you. Also the Wii is so different from both of these systems that if you have the cash I would suggest buying it along with one of the ps3/360.

Xbox also has a firmware update that allows you to play *b*rned* games. So no mod chip crap. But ya, I think Microsoft is going to have to do something about the lack of wireless (having to pay an extra 90) and the fact that you have to pay for online service. That said it works seamlessly with your computer network which is a major plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
