Driftit 1964 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 Would still rather have a 360 than Wii or a PS3 even with the problems I have had. But because the Wii is so cheap I am getting one of those too. Best of both worlds. I would get a PS3. But the only good games on it are out on the 360 too. And the 360 versions always have exclusive content and extra downloads.

Mark 178 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 I'm looking at getting a PS3 for two reasons. 1 - It has a Blu-Ray drive and that saves another purchase down the track 2 - Gran Turismo 5 The Gran Turismo series was the sole reason I decided to buy a PS1 back in the day and also my PS2. I can't wait! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
my_e36 43 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) The Gran Turismo series was the sole reason I decided to buy a PS1 back in the day and also my PS2. I can't wait! Same here. Bought the PSOne for GT1, PS2 for the GT3 and I bought the PS3 for the upcoming GT5, and of course the BluRay movies. Just for shiz and giggles, I was playing the original GT1 on PS3, it's like timewrap playing the old Commodore games. That's how far those games has come through over the years..

Driftit 1964 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 Meh. GT 5 is purely a visual game with poor physics. Forza 2 is a the closest you can get to a car sim. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nic325i 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 Meh. GT 5 is purely a visual game with poor physics. Forza 2 is a the closest you can get to a car sim. +1 - Gran Turismo has always been ruined by the poor interaction between cars. The V8 supercars games (and TOCA before that) are pretty good to. The chance of losing wheels is a good incentive not to use opposition cars as driving aids. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 ^^definitly think that the V8 series is the best driving sim on PS atm. But Forza takes it handsdown,the physics are insane compared to GT4. Am also waiting for MGS4 to come out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Braeden320 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 Yea V8 supercars is probably one of the best drving sims out there. The Formula 1 game on PS3 is also pretty good Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OLLIE 26 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 Wii all the way personally i dont own a gaming console because i don't get into video games that much. I prefer the outdoors and physical activity which is why i think the Wii is fantastic. It's great fun with friends and encourages fat ass nerds to get their lard arses of the f**king couch and move around the lounge - like aerobics for gamers. It's also not grossly over priced and over engineered. Wii should get the health tick. Something to think about is the accelerometer technology in the Wii - this has serious potential and i'd be keeping a lookout for what nintendo brings out in the future. check this out for some idea ...

Carl 3 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) Me and a few friends have Wii consoles and getting 4 people together in a large enough room playing against each other is a VERY social thing and even the girlfriend(s) want to play it. Most consoles realistically are single player orientated, which can also be said of Wii games, but it's the 4 player games on the Wii that make it. It's why it is the most popular console in the world. February 2008 numbers courtesy of NPD: Hardware - February 2008 588k - Nintendo DS 432k - Nintendo Wii 352k - PlayStation 2 281k - PlayStation 3 255k - Xbox 360 243k - PlayStation Portable Software - February 2008 296k - Call of Duty 4 (360) 295k - Devil May Cry 4 (360) 290k - Wii Play (Wii) 234k - Devil May Cry 4 (PS3) 223k - Guitar Hero III (Wii) 206k - Mario and Sonic: Olympic Games (DS) 204k - Lost Odyssey (360) 198k - Turok (360) 184k - Guitar Hero III (PS2) 162k - Rock Band (360) http://blogs.pcworld.com/gameon/archives/006638.html As an extra note, should point out that I still have a working NES system from 1989, yes, that's right, an almost 20 year old console still in working condition. My original PSX died after being abused for 5 straight years, PS2 still gets Tiger 2005'd. Edited March 25, 2008 by Mr. Pink Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same here, I got one of those too. Probably due to the fact that it has no moving parts and things back then are more engineered to last than things today.

Mark 178 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 I have a Sega MegaDrive in the attic somewhere, I should pull that out and play some Streets of Rage II again!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 3 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 Super Mario Bros on the NES is the best game ever for all time, immense replayability for a 20+ year old console game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 1964 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 Still have my Commodore 64 from 1987 with 100's of floppy disk games somewhere. lol. And its cassette tape drive. Now my Xbox 1 plays all the arcade, snes, ps1, sega, c64, amega and N64 roms. So XBOX 1 FTW. 360 can do this too but if you mod it they ban you from Xbox Live.
