Which console?

If you could only buy one, which one would it be?


Posted by Dwaggy on 06-30-2006 12:57 PM:

thats the only reason i wanted to buy a 360 dead rising looks great if you like zombie games dwaggy check out this game called possession here and here

im kinda torn between consoles at the moment not too sure which one i will buy first because theyve all got some sweet games coming out think i might be pulled towards the wii though cause its the only one out of the three that seems to really be next gen at the moment

you could say i was loyal to the playstation line up... had several psx's and even a chipped up ps2... but the psp was out of my price range and the ps3 costs the same as the other two systems put together.

its either the 360 for me, or the wii for my family (i'm sure my son will be able to play by next spring)...

Fionn....

You should be ashamed. What a retarded question.

Of course it should be the Wii.


Ask Shn.

as a 360 owner, Ive enjoyed the games Ive got on there, tactical shooters like Ghost Recon are great fun and also Chrome Hounds looks interesting. Gears of War is also an exciting prospect.

This combined with the fact that homebrew seems to be around the corner on the 360 would make me advise you to buy that.

Though the wii has a lot of potential, the graphics may seem rather flat and dissapointing as has been reported with that truck game and also initial hands on with games such as red steel and its control system have proven to be dissapointing and it may be worth waiting for the developers to iron out all the kinks. (Though red steel appears to be going through a major overhaul fo controls)

As for PS3, its too highly priced and as has been said before, the asking price is equal to both consoles put together


Posted by Fionn McCool on 06-30-2006 08:25 PM:

oh......wait, I wasn't looking for advice. I have my mind made up already.
Just wondering what everyone else would do. I'm getting the Wii but I'll buy the 360 as well if they develop homebrew for it.

If I could buy only one, it would be the Wii.


Posted by 404notfound on 06-30-2006 08:46 PM:

I'll get a Wii for sure.

I MIGHT get a PS3. But only because its cheaper than buying a blu ray player!

Pff.. Yes, you do that. And in 6 months when its out of date and games wont run at full speed anymore i'll laugh as you weep.

I hate PC gaming. At least with a console you know you are playing it exactly how the developer intended

Nintendo Wii. without question. It's the only true next gen machine. The rest are just power upgrades. Big whoop.

Wii has an incredible line up and looks amazing fun. Definitely the machine you want to bring out when you have friends over for beers. Imagine it now, guzzle a few beers with friends and spend the rest of the evening leaping over furniture to reach the ball in a Wii tennis game.

Lovely!

spot on slips

at least nintendo have tried the innovation route rather than just who can have the most powerful hardware.....

nintendo will "wii" all over those dicktards at sony.

ill get a 360 if the homebrew shit happens, my original xbox is my pride and joy......200gb hd, chock full of movies, games and emulation..the nuts.


Posted by Bad_Boy on 07-10-2006 06:24 AM:

ps3.
nintendo has too many kiddy games.

who cares if they have "too many" Kiddy games. it could be 75% kid games but if the 25% of other games are quality for adults, it shouldn't really matter.

but i'm sold on Wii. nothing else comes close


Posted by pHo on 07-10-2006 08:26 PM:

wii is a fun gimmick, but its a gimmick system at the end of the day. i'll get one, but i wouldn't have it as my only console. no way.

i have the 360 because

1. its out, the other two aren't
2. there's enough decent games to last me
3. the games that are good look fricking beautiful, and blow the other formats versions of them out the water (fight night, graw etc etc)
4. the system design is fantastic

chromehounds doesn't look all that btw, i have the demo and played for a few minutes and just decided i didn't care. im not the only one to think this. Lost Planet demo is insanely awesome.

GRAW is fun, very tactical but engaging. Looking at COD2 for online element


Posted by Avenue_1 on 07-10-2006 09:30 PM:

What i'm lookin for in a console is something fun, just a cnsole and nothing more..something that you can pick up and play for 1/2 - 1 hour with a few mates , then put it down. Don't really have the time anymore to sit down for hours and hours playing a 1 player game.
Wii seems to have that social fun factor. Or it could be the genius marketing that has us all sucked in Proof will be in the pudding!


Posted by Ecp on 07-10-2006 10:30 PM:

The Ps3 and the Wii for me.

That's true. But that's Nintendo in general. Same with the Gamecube.


Posted by doctor zoidy on 07-11-2006 05:09 AM:

the most fun i've had with a social game, other than goldeneye (obviously a contender) and a slew of street fighters and killer insticts was a game for the xbox called "kung fu theater" or something to that effect. very easy, very addictive 4 player nuttiness.

i voted for the Wii.

However, i've bought a xbox 360 and its software is really nice... the simple fact that i can play whatever music i want during a game is a great idea. Once it's connected to my PC and the web, it'll be even better


besides, i guess the wii will be somehow like the gamecube : mainly fun arcade games to play with friends.
Sure, there'll be zelda, but there won't be as many good long solo games as on the 360 (or ps3).

Besides, the 360's games look just great in 720p


so um, why did i vote for the wii, since i have no friends ?
dunno, but it looks fun...

? ive been on the lookout for some class multiplayerness on the xbox. Not found anything decent since Circuit Breakers on the PS1 (awesome game), but not found this kung fu theatre, could you mean kung fu chaos?


Posted by doctor zoidy on 07-12-2006 11:50 PM:

that'd be the one, the object is: you and your friends are actors and a director has you beat the hell out of each other on several scenes and minigames... its frantic, its funny, and with the right crowd can be played for a long time.

Yep, they will be.


Posted by TwinZ on 07-14-2006 01:37 PM:

i have a 360 and it is a great game although lacking in practise im shit at most games. live is great also and for those that need or would like to get a new xbox live subscription you can get pro evo 5 and a xbox live starter kit for £24.99 from play which is a lot better than paying £35+ for a year and you get a game etc. i will be buying the wii because i have to, im also going to buy another gamecube next time im at toys r us as they are £30 new. cant beat nintendo for game quality. and cant wait to get the back catalogue of games


Posted by oxygenukx on 07-14-2006 02:17 PM:

even though my option is not a console and not listed in a poll as another option i say "pc ftw!!!!"

Sony really have royally fucked te launch of the PS3 up, repeatedly... I suspect the people back at Nintendo are circle-jerking at the news
