I ordered my Play station 3 on Saturday. it comes with Ghost Recon and rainbow 6 and a stupid Spiderman Blu-ray movie. I have a whole whack of other money I'm gonna spend on other games like Resistance Fall Of Man, Oblivion, Ratchet and Clank:Tools of destruction.
I can't wait until Home comes out in the spring! it's totally free right from the PS3 and has Sims like gameplay. I can invite my freinds from the Beatles forums to my virtual home and we can party to Beatles music!
thats just how cool the PS3 is.
To me Nintendo Wii is a novelty and has too much baby games and the Xbox 360 doesn't apeal to me because I had the original Xbox and was not very impressed by it.
I know theres a lot of bitching over the internet to what console is the best but I just think it's all opinionated.
PS3 has a free online network as long as you have an internet connection but with Xbox live you have to pay. The Wii is lots of fun but Nintendo is having problems with the shortages. Everyone is more exited about The Wii because it has the new revolutionary sensory remote but and its the CHEAPEST system out of the 7th generation consoles and appeals more to kids and parents can afford the system and have a choice of E rated games to buy for their kids.
In my opinion, PS3 will own. Not right now it will, l but when more amazing things like Home come out for it and the whole wii cabbage patch craze goes down yes the PS3 will be the best but still there will be many loyal 360 plays mainly because of the Halo trilogy.

I refrain from getting involved into petty console zeal -- it bores the shit out of me.
I grew out of that phase since I turned 14.

Benoit hates Sony with a passion, so I'm going to invite him over for teh lulz.

I remember when it was Nintendo vs Sega. Sega had crap games; flashy, glitzy and devoid of character.

It had the monsters wrecking the
city one. I liked that.

Clearly you haven't played Streets of Rage 2, Shining Force II, Phantasy Star IV, Gunstar Heroes, Probotector (aptly titled "Contra: Hard Corps" in Japan & US), Alisa Dragoon, or Alien Soldier. If you did, you would retract that statement.
And Thunder Force IV was a Floly shoot 'em up.
Anyhow, here's some Probotector:

Anyone who says The Wii a Novelty and has baby games is immature. Enough said on that one.
Fact is, I'm 35 and I own the Nintendo Wii. The control system isnt a novelty, its bringing gaming back to human terms, you use movements instead of non-intuitive button mashing. Now its non-intuitive arm thrashing :green:
But seriously, you dont have to keep your hands cramped up together like with regular controllers, you can have them at a natural distance from each other.
The supply prob isnt that bad here is Australia, but as usual, advertising is crap and retail catalogues as usual are pushing sony and xbox and forgetting nintendo. Same with media.
Fun fact, I live down the road from Nintendo Australia. (You may worship me now)

I own numerous game systems. I would own a PS3, but they're too damn expensive with little games. Maybe when MGS4 is out I'll look into it. But it's online is pathetic at the moment too. That's why I own a 360.

Biased muppet. :wanker:
Why don't you try coming up with a good case before you act like an indifferent tosser who thinks his opinion on computer games is fucking gospel.
I played both systems, and I don't favour one over the other. You're missing a lot of priceless gems that way.

My point is that a super-duper console might have a shit collection of games, while an inferior console has some fun titles to play.
So while the Mega Drive has its share of bad apples, so does the Super Nintendo.

I have a Nintendo Wii

Was your "biased muppet" comment referring to my comments on PS3 or Peter's on Probotector?

Peter's.
His attitude of late is getting on my man tits.
Yeah, yeah, yeah: don't like it, don't respond. I know. :wanker:

It's weird though... Cos you asked his opinion, and then snapped at him when he offered it.
"Can I have a drink."
"Sure here it is"
*slap* "DAMN YOU AND YOUR DRINKS!"

I snapped because he didn't go into detail as to why he didn't enjoy Sega games. It came across as close-minded, and I hate that shit.
Sorry, but I'm passionate about the video games as he is with teh ladies. :P

Games are a worthy passion to be passionate about :)

There is absolutely nothing cool about being in the same virtual room listening to some music like a bunch of lifeless nerds.
To me Nintendo Wii is a novelty and has too much baby games
Yeah, something like Trauma Center, Resident Evil 4 and Metroid Prime 3 is definitely for babies. What the hell are you on?
the Xbox 360 doesn't apeal to me because I had the original Xbox and was not very impressed by it
What kind of stupid argument is this? It's a different console, for crying out loud. Plus, it has had a lot more success than the XBox had back in the day so far.
PS3 has a free online network as long as you have an internet connection but with Xbox live you have to pay.
XBox Live Silver is free.
appeals more to kids and parents can afford the system and have a choice of E rated games to buy for their kids
"For everyone" is not eqlual to "For kids".
In my opinion, PS3 will own.
This is getting old. PS3 fanboys have been saying this for a couple years now, and I still don't see it happening.
Sega had crap games; flashy, glitzy and devoid of character.
Bullshit. Franchises like Phantasy Star and Sonic have a lot of personality.
Elaborate on this statement, as it's quite broad. You're probably just trolling, though.

I don't understand why you were confused. It was crystal clear with peegai's quoting.

peegai didn't ask for his opinion, but an elaboration of his opinion (which he did NOT give, hence the snap), which the thread starter asked for, not him.

Good Point, Trauma Center was refused classification here in Australia, which pretty much spells out it was banned here, considering it is illegal to sell games that have not been classified.
If I want to buy it or play it I have to import it from Europe. And that isnt cheap, let me tell you.

He wanted the right opinion. Not any old crap opinon that he might not agree with. Who wants to hear that?

Let me introduce you to an old friend of mine ..."Alex Kidd".
Let me tell the truth through... I completed all the Mega Drive Sonic games as a young child. I still have not completed a SNES Mario. Although, I have completed the N64 and Gamecube Marios.

I'll probably get an xbox over the summer, but I need to get and HDTV first.

I am enjoying my Xbox360 quite a bit. Mass Effect was awesome. The Devil May Cry 4 demo is fun, and Lost Odyssey comes out next month as well. I am eagerly awaiting the release of Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, as are my friends. The PS3 is alright, I will buy one eventually. I am not sure when I will get a Wii, I thought I would buy one when Mario Galaxy was released, but I have held out thus far.
The red lights of doom are bad, thankfully MS sent me a new 360 pretty quickly when it happened to me.

I remember playing a Rainbow Six title on the Playstation, and it was effing shite.

Back then I wouldn't be caught dead playing a FPS on a console. It has always been a PC franchise to me. They changed the control scheme with Vegas though and included a cover system. Every other version of Vegas is just a port of the 360 version. The PS3 and PC versions of RS: Vegas are shitty and glitchy compared to the 360 version. It is a shame they fucked up the PC version, because that is where they got their start.

I enjoyed playing Duke Nukem and Quake on the Saturn though.
But yeah, FPS should be exclusive for PCs only.
Think of the loss of profits, man! The profits!

Do you ever use the marketplace to rent movies?
I did a couple of times, and it worked well enough. My dad has Blockbuster Total Access, which kind of renders it obsolete in a way since he gets unlimited rentals and has such a gigantic selection.

It is all about the accuracy of aiming with a mouse versus using a analog controller for aiming. Nothing beats a good optical mouse for headshots.

Australia doesn't even get the Video Marketplace. Nor have we got that Inside Xbox news thingy recently launched.

You aren't missing out on that much imo. Its all about the games for me. IPTV though looks like it will be hot shit. IPTV for 360 launches in Europe first from what I read.

HAve you just gotten regular movies or HD?
Both and the HD versions are worth it to a degree. The HD stuff is 720p though and not 1080i/p from what I remember. I don't like how you only get the movie for a day really, but at least you can watch it more than once. Stuff like Netflix and Blockbuster Total Access are better imo. I would rather have the actual disk in hand and not have to pay extra to watch the movie on a different day. When I was downloading movies, it made me wish I had the 120GB HD and not the 20GB that came with my 360. I bet the IPTV functionality is only for the 120GB Elite 360s.
My dad has an upscaling DVD player that does the job fairly well. I still haven't convinced him to get a Blu-Ray player for his 1080p HDTV. The 1080i set upstairs just has a progressive scan DVD player, but it works fine for most of our movie watching purposes. He just has an insane home theater setup for sound, we covered the walls in soundproofing foam to make it even better.

Yup! They got doors and everything there.
Man that Nintendo, they thought of everthing! :insane:

I know everyone likes to quote Goldeneye64 as the 1st console game that got FPS right on consoles, but I like to cite Turok on the N64 that got the controls right. If you used the control scheme of Turok on Goldeneye (forget what that setup was called), then it was awesome. Used the yellow C buttons for strafe left/right and forward/back, with the analogue stick as mouselook.

I played both systems, and I don't favour one over the other. You're missing a lot of priceless gems that way.
I've played both systems too. I played on a friend's Sega Mega Drive sometimes while I was in primary school, and at one point, a friend of my sister, who was studying for his exams at uni, lent me his Sega Mega Drive so that he wouldn't be distracted by it. I played it on and off for a few months, and I found the games in his collection to have an arcade feel to them, with an emphasis on fancy graphics, fast paced action and quick gratification, which didn't appeal to me at all. I've always found Sega games very forgettable. While the SNES also had bad games, only a minority of the games I've played for the SNES have been what I'd consider severely lacking and many have been highly enjoyable and memorable, while all the games I've played on the Sega Mega Drive have failed to hold my interest. If Sega games are your thing, good for you; I've yet to find one that does anything for me.
-
I think the SNES suffered the same fate as the PlayStation 1&2 and Possibly now the Wii. Being the popular System at the time, they are subject to being littered with a ton of crap quickly made games just to cash in on the said systems popularity. Doesnt mean those systems didnt have their gems.
Super Mario World FTW!!! :green:

When my PS2 stops working, I'm getting a PS3. Not worth getting the second one again if the third one plays DVDs and the first two playstation games.
I downloaded my first game on Wii. It was Mario Kart 64. I have been wanting to play it but at one of the stores here, it was 29.99 and I thought forget it if I can get the game on Wii for ten bucks since it costs 1000 points to download it and it costs ten dollars to buy that many points.

If you PC is good enough, you could download Project64 (http://www.pj64-emu.com/) and then download the ROM of Mario Kart 64. I bought myself a wired XBOX 360 Controller (Has normal USB connector) and set up the emulator to use that. I found a torrent of every Nintendo64 ROM ever (about 5gig) N64-full I think it was called, unpacked to like 40gig.
I also have VisualBoyAdvance (http://vba.ngemu.com/), which emulates Game Boy, Super Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance. I also have a shitload of ROMs for that as well, pretty much all except the really latest, cos i haven't got off my lazy arse and downloaded them yet.
Then there is Snes9x (http://www.snes9x.com/) which obviously emulates a Super Nintendo. Got a bunch of ROMs for that as well.
And all these run off my XBOX 360 Controller :green:
