Capn Frank Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Xbox 360 here. I like that the corded controllers can also be used on PC's (so i've been told :-/ ) for the FPS and RPG games on PC. Then all the Xbox games i have right now, work on the 360 *y* Also, being a halo freak, it has halo 3 *wub* PS3 i've played on, but i'm not going to spend money on a PS3 when i can get an alright desktop for the same price :-P Never played the Wii, but none of the games look interesting to me right now (at all) P Quote
Rayden Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Well, I'm a PC gamer so I'm not really into consoles. If I would buy any of these it would be the PS3. I've had the PS and currently have a PS2 but it's being used more as a DVD player then as an actuall console.. I only have around 10 games for my PS2, compared to the 70+ (legal) I have for my PC. :-) So, my next console would probably be the PS3, if nothing else but for playing blu-ray movies. But I'll wait for another year or so, then the price will have droppped a lot and then their 80gb version (currently in production) will have replaced the 60gb version. Quote
Corvus Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 The PS3 may have the best graphics and all, and I like it, but the wii is just so different and fun. Quote
zero1312 Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 I also say Wii, because the controller alone is so much fun. Ever played Sonic and the secret rings? *sweet* Then you know what I mean. *y* Quote

Kikuichimonji Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Nah, that wouldn't work. UK uses the PAL version and USA the US version. If I'm not wrong.. I don't think PS3 is zone-free? *wacko* No, it's not region free, but that has nothing to do with UK tv's being PAL. The problem is that US consoles use NTSC (since US tv's are NTSC). Which does not mean that a tv bought in Europe can't handle NTSC (the European standard os PAL (or SECAM, but I don't think that applies to games)). I have a US SNES and PSX and they work fine on my new tv. However, if your tv can't handle NTSC you'll get black and white images or none at all. You can also work around this by getting an RGB cable. A Component cable might work too, but I'm not sure about that. Still, that's something that can be taken care of by watching the specs of your tv. The main problem is...games. An UK system cannot play US games and vice versa. Which means that if you import a PS3, you'll have to import all games as well. Which I would recommend, since games are usually cheaper in the US (and released earlier). Third (minor) problem is that you'll need to buy a power converter. US consoles work at a different amount of Volt then UK/European consoles. Still, you can easily get those for 5-10 Euro at you local electronics- or DIY-store. Quote

Zaktan of the Shadows Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 PS3. This SIXAXIS is awesome, the Graphics rock, and the game selection is good. The only down fall is the price. -ZotS Quote
zero1312 Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 The only down fall is the price.-ZotS And a critical one at that if you ask me. |-/ Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 They will lower it eventually. Like the PSP and PS2. ;-) -ZotS Quote
UniqueBuilder Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 They will lower it eventually. Like the PSP and PS2. ;-) -ZotS Rumours says they will lover the price with 2000 NOK (ca. 300 USD, I think) by this autumn. Go for the Wii! *sing* Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 So thats like 500 dollars here in Canada. -ZotS Quote
