    Recomend me a gaming console?

    Hi PSB


    For the last 10 years I have been living under a rock and getting my kicks from PC's and games like wow

    Now I have a spare 55" Plasma not doing anything and I thought it would be better used with a gaming console, but alas I know nothing of them? which is the better more supported unit, better stuff ,cheaper to buy games and so on.

    So if anyone can give me a quick heads up before I go Shopping on Sunday I would be stoked!

    I would like to play shoot'em up games and I like the look of that Skyrim game and I will also have a modem right next to the console if that helps??


    anyway thanks for taking the time out to read my thread.

    I find xbox 360 has a bigger selection of games, some of which you can't get on PS3, and the new black slim ones don't sound like a jumbo running in your tv room anymore

    The Wii output to a 55" screen will look crap, unless you wait for the HD version (The Wii, prior to being released, was dubbed the Nintendo Revolution, and was supposed to be released as a HD-capable platform).
    Why not a venerable PS3? You'll get a media centre, an HD Console and a Blueray player in one. Skyrim available, plenty of shoot 'em ups... and their current price represents reasonable value.

    I have a WII and a Playstation 3 . . . and an original xbox.

    The WII games that we have get boring real quick and are too easy to play IMO - wife wanted it.

    The Playstation 3 is pretty good with good full-on games like Modern Warfare, Battlefield GT5 etc.

    Also games like Singstar and Buzz are great for when a few mates come round.

    I have a full racing sim set-up too which I highly recommend if ur a petrol head.

    Get a decent sound system too. Oh, its got a decent blueray player built it.

    Having a nearby modem will be very helpful as it will be more reliable than wireless.

    I'm sure the xbox2 is good too, as I thought the original kicked ass over the playstation2.

    One bonus is the router being right next to the tv means you won't have the additional cost of a wireless adapter for the xbox...!

    I've got a Wii, PS3 and a 360. The Wii hasn't been used in well over a year and the most time spent on the PS3 has been on a game called system update. I simply like the 360's controller better and there are very, very few games I want that don't come on the 360 as well. Having said that, if you've got kids, the Wii is the way to go, and the PS3 is also a bluray player as well, but mine doesn't play well with my surround sound, so it just gathers dust the majority of the time.

    Performance-wise, the PS3 and 360 are not really that different so it really comes down to game selection, and if you like shooters, then the 360 has the best selection. I also find that the 360 has a smoother interface than the PS3.

    All comes down to exclusive titles you want to play, ive got both 360 and ps3. the ps3 only gets fired up when i want to play a bluray or exclusive title (uncharted series) other than that mainly use the 360. Plus games on the 360 can be backed up (All phat console and only a slim with a DG-16D4S DVD drive for now)

    Do you pay for online gaming on Xbox?

    I went PS3. Honestly doesn't matter which way you go. Both very good. Most of my mates have PS3 so we game online a lot.

    RRossi : Follow Yoda's teachings :

    "...a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side. XBOX360, PS3, WII; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan's apprentice."
    Somehow it's reassuring knowing that I'm not the only one pretending to be normal.

    I had an original XBox and now have the 360. Next console will be Playstation though. Not that I'm that inclined to play things live but most that do seem to be playing on Playstation ( or all those that I know ).

    Also if you want to go a steering wheel option for the XBox you are severely limited in your choice as Microsoft licence so few of them. When I first started looking I couldn't find any available in Australia or those that listed some where all out of stock. When one did become available it was a 5 month wait from ordering. Situation might be better now but almost all of them are Playstation and PC compatible.

    The new model Xbox has wifi built in doesn't it? Only the original shape 360 needed the adaptor.

    360 for me, had ps1 and ps2 but switched over to the 360 for a change. Controllers are far better IMO.

    The slim xbox 360 has built in wifi. There are more media options on xbox (abc, sbs, etc) and online service is more stable than Playstation, it costs money though.Playstation has Blueray and supposedly higher processor speed. Wii is fun but I rarely use it. I would go xbox.
