ive got a 360 and a Wii...and will eventually get a PS3 when they get cheaper and get more games that interest me.....GT 5 and MGS4!!!

I play my 360 a lot more as the Wii doesnt have a lot of its killer games out just yet, although Mario Galaxy is quite fun..but its no Mario Kart of Smash Bros! And unless your a graphics whore which im not the Wii is the way to go.

But COD 4 is an awesome game no matter what console/PC as a matter of fact the PS3 version of COD4 can have 32 people in online maps, whereas the 360 can only have 18

Oh and i would hardly call a gaming console an "investment" its not like 3 years down the track you can sell it for 5 times its value or anything

Yes, the Xbox is the best console of the 3. Sales figures also reflect this.

lol and the red rings arnt the only problem with the 360.....mine LOVES to scratch the shit out of my games ....i really gotta call microsoft this arvo and complain to them and get them to fix it....and NO i dont treat my discs like crap, these scratches are perfect circles/semi circles and would be impossible to make even if your using a compass!

Red Ring of Death

Interesting little tidbit for all the X-box lovers.....

i find it really sad that they are still making PS2 games, sure they arnt making as many as they were, but none the less i feel it is why the PS3 isnt doing as good as it could!

I mean they have hardly tapped into the consoles true power yet! and if people are too lazy to start saving up cash to upgrade to the new generation of consoles than thats their bad luck, Sony should not cater to them. Sure they are still making a killing out of selling the PS2 but i dont see why they cant let it go already....

Very interesting. That's pretty poor on Microsoft's part. Some of those people have reported sending their xbox360 back 3 or 4 times over that problem.

Here ps3s are around $440, is that cheap? Games are $40 to $60. I'm thinking maybe I'll get one sometime later this year. I just gave away my ps2 with 50+ copied games to a friend of the family. You can still sell them here with that many games for over $150 though.

did you have to send it to microsoft? and if so did they charge you and $$ or have the decided they have enough money from screwing people over like this? And do you have a HDD version? if so did you keep it or send it with your 360? ive heard people have sent it with theirs and gotten completely new 360s and have had to do everything again eg save games, and even have to REBUY! xbox arcade games

I used to think video games were for nerds and losers. Then I read that the video game market is bigger than the movie market.

Now I feel like the loser because I cannot play a video game to save my life. Well, not the current kinds.

I rule on Ms. Pacman though.

Call of Duty 4 is excellent, and I've just been playing Assassin's Creed and that's very cool.

It's rather awesome.

I know he has been wanting it. He doesn't have many games for his PS3. He feels they haven't come out with much. Most of what he plays is on his Xbox 360.

Well it's true.

I haven't played any kind of video game since back when Tetris was hot ( I find these things too addictive for my delicate sensibilites ).
Is this game still played these days?

Yeah, mine was bought not long after they first came out and only came up with the red ring of death recently. I rang Microsoft, they emailed me a UPS label, I packaged the console up and stuck the label on and the UPS guy came and collected it. 14 calendar days later, including Christmas and New Year, the fixed console arrived yesterday.

Not bad, I think. And so red ring of death not too huge an issue and Microsoft pretty hot on ensuring you get a replacement that doesn't cost the customer a penny.
