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 [Edited 1/2/08 18:00pm] Receiving transmission from David Bowie's nipple antenna.

I realize that may sound crazy considering it's a game but still that's how I'm also looking at this. | |

yeah i get where your coming from with the value for money thing, and further thinking on the matter i suppose its an investment of time rather than money making investment
Also go to Japan and say that the Xbox is the best console out there and you will have the Yakuza chase you outta town Receiving transmission from David Bowie's nipple antenna. Do you read me Lieutenant Bowie, I said do you read me...Lieutenant Bowie | |

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 Receiving transmission from David Bowie's nipple antenna.

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. | |

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.... Receiving transmission from David Bowie's nipple antenna.

Here in Thailand kids can't afford to buy ps3 games so the copied games you can get for the ps2 are a godsend. Hell, I can't afford to buy ps3 games! $2 a game as opposed to $60. | |

lol hey i got no problem with that, i used to get people who went over to Asian countries to hook me up with all the dodge copies of games i wanted. Sure not everyone is in the best situation moneywise. But in terms of consumer value i think Sony need to really get their heads outta their asses and work it out....and soon enough im sure you will be able to get the dodge PS3 games Receiving transmission from David Bowie's nipple antenna.

The 40gb PS3 goes for $399 now, the 80gb for $499...and the game prices are in the range you mentioned...the 80 has a great feature where you can transfer your game data off of a PS2 memcard...doesn't come with the 40, but I like my blu-ray player, so its a trade-off for me cuz....

Don't get me wrong, I love the Wii, but after a while there simply aren't enough innovative games yet | |

You keep your HDD and keep everything unless your HDD breaks (which has not been a reported fault). Microsoft will repair/replace your broken 360 for free. | |

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. | |

Sure they are still making a killing out of selling the PS2 but i dont see why they cant let it go already.... Because R&D costs for learning the PS3's architecture are insanely high as it's an entirely new platform. Xbox runs on a hybrid DirectX. Wii is the same architecture as Gamecube. PS3 is ????? It's got like 14 FPE's or something in it's processor, which is just obscene! Try trying to make 7 different processor cores work in total harmony with a graphics chip. | |

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? | |

reneGade20 said: 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. | |
