Lets Talk Gaming Consoles

[KezR33]

I promise you I was never the type to kick a ball around, and only rode my bike when I was like 10. In fact I play video games less now than I ever did when I was younger.

And as you age you come to realize how crappy/expensive going out is rather than how good video games have become.

[EeLeYe]

So what exactly did you do back in the day??

I know going out has always been expensive but that wasn't my point. My point is video games have prevented people from actually leaving the house. We go on holidays And there's always someone that brings a ps3 or 360 and we spend more time playing that than going to the beach and getting some sun... Whether I'm a beach person or not.

Online play has only worsened it because now people play against mates yet live like freakin hermits.

I've always played games, or did what every other kid did: watched a lot of tv. I grew up with no backyard and in a relatively dangerous area so I rarely went outdoors as a kid.

Do you know why they call it a 360? Because when you see it, you turn 360 degrees and walk away.

360 degrees... so wouldn't you still be facing it?

Yeh, but he's been watching his Michael Jackson tribute DVD's again. What he means is that he's doing a 360 spin (complete with crotch grab) and moon walking away from the Xbox.

capiche?

Don't you mean double-jump or infinite-magnet-fly?

Wii is a gimmick, you jiggle the remote-like controller around for a bit, have a few laughs and then it gathers dust.

Standard the PS3 is a better PVR / entertainment platform but I wouldn't pick it for it's games and especially for it's glowing knob answer to the Wii.

Xbox is the better gaming system and you can have Foxtel I guess if that's your thing. Kinect is better then whatever the hell the PS3 thing is but they are both only there to remove the Wii niche.

In summary I have lost the will to give a shit while typing this out.

[Birds]

Well I suckered one into it hahaha.

I actually like all three consoles, they all have their weaknesses and strengths.

Wii = drunken parties and bludgeoning people with controllers after losing, but you'll never play it by yourself.

PS3 = in your room by yourself playing COD when you're not masturbating, and folding@home when you are.

360 = sitting there with your only friend ready to play Halo 7 that you camped out for...what does this red ring of lights mean?

PS3 has MGS4 = instant win

+1

Classic game

+red dead redemption, the start of the 3D GTA games(yes i know GTA started on PC), GT5's, killzone's (which was good....but not enough) all good reasons to go for a PS of any variety

pretty much anything you can get on Xbox comes on PC right?? other than halo...but i never got into that much for unknown reasons.

PC does win overall, but thats not the point atm is it

[EeLeYe]

Halo came out on pc. I had a copy... Never installed it though.

[boiracer]

oh...goes to show how much i know about Halo

[Birds]

Halo made the original XBOX worth owning even if it was the only game you ever bought for it.

wut

The only PS exclusive there is GT5, you win at failing.

Lol @ saying ps3 has no exclusives. This isn't the first year of it's release it released more exclusives this year then the xbox and overtime has probably had the same amount of exclusives as the xbox. Xbox is for all the pimply fps gamers who are too cheap to buy a decent pc. Ps3 has uncharted which IMO owns anything on the 360

and apparently you fail at reading.

Out of the list given only GT5 was exclusive to PS3.

[topher_]

Lol WTF? You fail at trying to make people look like they failed. I was actually saying a general statement about the whole ps3 has no games thing. I never even quoted your post, said anything about your posts OR gt5. Maybe you fail at reading? BTW GT5 isn't the only exclusive in his list, oh and he never mentioned exclusives Oh the ironing

and apparently you fail at reading.

lol.....i didnt say PS3 either...i was talking PS's in general, believe it or not there were 2 before it already

+how long was it before GTA3 came out on xbox??? around about when vice city came out on PS...........same with red dead. im positive this only came on PS3 first cause i wanted it on PC sooo bad

and my point of getting almost all xbox games on PC aswell still stands
