360 Vs PS3 Vs Wii

[Thanatos]

PS3 exclusives don't do it for me, and I don't own any bluray discs yet.

I like the Xbox 360, there's a lot of games I want to play on it (Gears of War, Halo 3, GTA IV) but am always afraid of the RROD. I haven't bought one yet as such.

I own a Wii, which is fun but doesn't really settle well with me like the older Nintendo consoles did. The motion sensor is fun but sometimes you just wanna sit down and play, not dance around like a madman.

So yeah, depends what you like. I recommend Xbox for some of the games, and Wii if you have heaps of friends to play with.

I think one thing that's important to me as to which machine is the better choice is in its multiplayer/online capabilities. Me and my mates have gaming nights every 2nd weekend and we have access to all 3 machines. Of the group of 5, 4 of us have a PS3, one has an XBOX 360 and one has a Wii. We only play the XBOX 360 occassionally - one night we were playing Gears of War but after 30 minutes of gametime, the machine bricked on us (it has since been replaced under warranty). The Wii is a greaty party machine but we don't play it that often as we find the games too gimmicky and too kiddy. The PS3 gets the most playtime because of its online capabilities - we play Warhawk, Tekken, Mortal Kombat and Ridge Racer Online all the time and it never gets boring. Even when we don't have game nights we stay at home and challenge each other online from the comfort of our own homes. The XBOX has online capabilities too but none of us wanna risk buying one since that bricking incident. The Wii just doesn't offer a true multiplayer experience unless you are all together in the same room and it hardly has any games you can play online. So it comes down to this:

PS3 - decent games, best machine to play online
XBOX 360 - good games and online functions ruined by reliability issues
Wii - great party machine, almost non-existent online games to play

So for me, the choice is easy - PS3.

Yeh, thats my main complaint as well. Luckily though, they are beginning to pragramme the games with multiple control options (including the old Gamecube controllers) which is great. I just wish the Wii would get some mature good games that aren't Mario inspired. Still waiting for an ace RPG or something like that.

The Australian realease of the PS3 is a castrated piece of machinery and over-priced. There was so much cut out of the original release here it was a joke. On release, we were being charged $1000 for a lower grade machine whilst the yanks and Japs got (they were paying ~$700au) for a machine that could play PS1/2 games and had all the shebang. All we got was a PS3 with a smaller HD, no PS1/2 games and half the shebang. Apparently the overseas PS3 are losing the PS1/2 compatibility due to cost factors now (as it was done by hardware, not software). But I won't buy one on principle.

However PS3 games have no region protection, but Wii games do. Bluray? not right now, my TV is 15 years old and still going!

Overpriced games, overpriced accessories, need 1080 32" screen, can't replace components, crashing, freezing up, weeks of turnaround for repairs, obsolete- replace the whole lot, stop playing I want to watch TV.

So yea, you wish you could do component upgrades.

Yeah. Well I guess that the PC is way above that bunch so it wouldn't be fair

I don't suppose anyone here is interested in buying Dreamcast games and Sega Saturn system and games?
