I follow Sony. I don't really know why, I just find their technology appealing to me.

BTW there is a new console entering the war, but they won't get far. the Zeebo. It uses 3g Mobile network and will have most common games ike FIFA 09, nut like I said before, it's a budget console and won't get far.

X-Box 360 at a long shot. I myself own a PS3 (Which I hardly play) and by far I enjoy the 360 more. The PS3 exclusives are now being released onto the 360, such as Metal Gear Solid and the like. Sure, the PS3 is in my living room. But as a Blue ray player.
Xbox live doesn't cost much at all. $10 AUD month?

No, 360 is getting a non canon, non Kojima MGS spin off which PS3 and PC are also getting, on top of that MGS has never being a Sony exclusive series either, so 360 isn't really getting any noteworthy Sony exclusives. Except Tekkan I guess, although I am sure Tekkan 5 wasn't an exclusive anyway.

And to the wisenut who called me a fanboy, your point? I'm not sure if it was some poor attempt at jest or an even poorer attempt at a flame but either way it's not contributing to the discussion and it doesn't meet PC's rules, so don't do it again.

I mean, like, sure the Wii is an okay console, but when you compare it to the big, main ones - it sucks, lol.

I play the Wii all the time at my friend's house, I owned a 360, and I own a PS3. 360 beats them, but the Wii comes in last, mainly at the fact that it's geared towards more younger kids and the games are crap.

GoW won't be! :D
I can't wait for that game.

Live might not cost much, but the PS3 online doesn't cost anything if you just want to look on the internet and all that jazz.

So $120 a year.
The cheapest AUS 360 i found was the basic 20GB one for $345. The cheapest official 360 WiFi adapter I found for Aus was $128. So a lower end 360 with wifi and Live for a year in AUS comes to about...$593 making it just over $100 cheaper than a 80GB ps3 in Aus. Add another year of Live and now your 360 costs more than the PS3.

What my point is, $10 a month doesn't seem like much, but put it in perspective and you realise 360 really isn't cheaper in the long run.

edit: Just found a bunch of brand new 80GB PS3s from an Aus retailer for $536, meaning a one year run on a low end 360 costs more than the PS3 will cost you in 3.

The Zeebo will likely never see a release outside of Brazil, China, or Russia. The console was made by TecToy to be an affordable option for developing countries. According to reviews I have read, the console is not very good at the moment (poor network performance, bad ports, control lag). It really isn't in the console war, because it's for markets that can't afford the major ones.

Captain Fabio July 12th, 2009 10:17 AM

The Zeebo will never be classed in the same league as the PS3, 360 and Wii.

Comparing the Zeebo's and the PS3's CPU's, it fails horribly.

Zeebo = ARM11 clocked at 528MHz
PS3 = CBE clocked at 3.2GHz

The CBE runs over 6 times faster.
It doesn't look like an interesting console at all.

Going from Wiki, they say the RRP is $499.
That is a hell of a lot of money for a weak console.

*sigh*

The console itself is not aimed just towards "younger" audiences game manufactures just use it's gameplay to flog these mini game pieces of crap.

Of course nintendo are going to let it happen, it doesn't matter to them as long as they get money from it.

I'll say this again..

Yes, there are alot of complete shovelware games for Wii..But it doesn't mean you have to buy the danm things.

Buy the good games that it has to offer for god sake.

Also, the Wii has made a name for itself as the home of Survival horror and mindless assassination.

I'd like to see kids play House Of The Dead and Madworld.

Cornelius July 12th, 2009 6:59 PM

I vote for the Nintendo Wii. Out of all of the three home consoles, it's the only one that I have. I do plan on getting an Xbox 360. However, that won't be for a while. But I've always been a Nintendo fanboy, seeing how they've made some of the greatest games out there and homed some of them and continue to innvoate the gaming company.
While the Wii is the most innovative game system currently, I think that Microsoft's Natal will be very interesting, although how it does it based on its games and if it really works as well as told.

Klippy July 12th, 2009 7:07 PM

I don't see why there has to be a war over video game consoles at all. :| Seriously, you'd think people could just enjoy whichever one they own and not bother with the one(s) they don't own.

I have a 360 and a Wii, I hardly play either, but if I had to choose which one to play forever, it'd be the 360. I enjoy the games on there much more and my Wii hasn't been used in quite some time due to no games interesting me. That's not the Wii's fault, I just have interests it can't suit, you know? :[ Either way...I'd say every system has it's positives and negatives. Just enjoy whichever you have and don't worry about the others. XD;

Im sort of stuck inbetween the PS3 and the 360. I prefer the PSN community over XBL, but the 360 has much better games than the PS3 does, and I tend to play with MUCH less annoying people on PSN.

I love PSN.
It just flows a lot better in my opinion.

At the moment, the 360 has a lot of good games that I do want to play, but I have played most of them at friends, so that is why I have selected my PS3.

Tré July 13th, 2009 3:10 AM

wel since having a 360... then i'm enlisted in microsoft....since 360 games are better....and they release new games fast enough....it's better playing games in 360 than in my pc...many bugs occur....that's why...microsoft fan for life!!!

Fox♠ July 13th, 2009 3:37 AM

Well yeah, PSN's community is a lot more friendly than Lives (not saying you don't get absolute jerk offs on PSN, you do, there's just less of them)

Normally I'd ignore you because you can't seem to handle a mature debate, but do you actually know how much a PS3 costs? A ps3 costs $399.99, so how can it be $400 more than a 360?

Gengar1 July 13th, 2009 4:21 AM

*facepalm* we don't ALL live in the same country, I'm from Australia, on it's own the 360 is like 300AUD here, ps3's on their own are usually around 600-700AUD, kthx I win again

If you look up maybe 4 posts you'd see that to run your 360 for one year in Aus costs more than a PS3 would in 3.

Sorry, couldn't reply to your post before because it got banned.
You said the PS3 only has FF?
FF XIII is being released on the 360 as well

And boo hoo.
Saying you win, doesn't mean you win.

KTHXBI

It's ironic that you call other games over rated but like Halo.
I'm not even going to try and attempt to prove to you how wrong you are, so I'll let Wiki do it for you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS3_exclusives
Clearly the only game there is InFamous.

No, I was correcting your mistake.
It sounds a lot like you are a M$ fanboy.

Gengar1 July 13th, 2009 4:46 AM

Only good one there is INfamous, metal gear solid and kingdom hearts, anyway fanboy I don't have time for the likes of you. Btw yes you're right, Halo is overrated, but it's actually good, Final fantasy makes halo look better then it already is, there is only one good final fantasy game and that is tactics advanced, rest are graphcis, nothign more.

It seems like you are liking more and more games by the second.
Only KH first.
Then inFAMOUS,
Then MG.

Stick with one story.
Also, we don't have time for the likes of you too.

Good bye!
