534857 2007-03-21 08:40:00 PC Games are the best :) stu161204 (123)
534858 2007-03-21 09:23:00 Getting console info from closeup would be about as worthwhile as getting computer info from Harvey Norman.

Personally, If I was going to get one, It would be the Wii, But only as a present. The limitations of consoles cause me more frustation then enjoyment. Plus there is no way in hell I would shell out for a HD TV just for a console....Or even for HD broadcasts....

534859 2007-03-21 10:38:00 it's a shame the sony completely stuffed up the ps3 launch, and are still trying to charge so much for it

pc is much more versatile, upgradeable, practical and better for FPS and RTS games. Also better for racing if you get a wheel/gamepad.

that said out of the consoles i prefer the ps3 (ducks behind bunker to hide from onslaught of xbox fanboy abuse)

534860 2007-03-21 11:28:00 I would pick the Wii just for the fun factor, something different, getting off the couch and actually interacting with the game.
But at the moment I'll stick to my modded xbox's :thumbs:

534862 2007-03-21 23:11:00 Although not a gamer myself, I am curious:
What is the approximate cost of each, and is Wii the only one that involves the player physically moving?

Xbox 360 = $660
Playstation 3 = $1199
Wii = $498

As for physically moving I suppose that depends how excited you get but the Wii is the only one of the consloes that needs more than minimum movement for some of the games.

Playstation 2 does have games such as eye-toy, dance mat games, and to a lesser extent guitar hero and singstar which generally get people moving.

534864 2007-03-22 02:21:00 I am yet to get me mits on a ps3, I perfer pc for games but Im used to the ps2 so I guess the ps3 would be more my cup o tea. I cant stand the xbox controllers but I like the graphics. Wii is much fun! especially after a few beers or 32:p rob_on_guitar (4196)
534865 2007-03-22 02:27:00 all my games i have are for PC

i only have a PS2 to play games that i like that don't come out on the PC platform - those being Canis canem edit (bully) and Gran turismo 4 :D

nothing like breaking into some kids locker - putting in a stink bomb and hiding in a nearby rubbish bin to see him open it and proceed to inhale all of it and barf all over the floor then you leg it as a teacher sees you've done something bad or else you get punished and have to mow the lawns :O
