I own an Nintendo Wii, it’s much better and it’s way better value than the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Hey ProKid

Let me expand on the points that you brought out:

“Why wouldn’t you want to have wireless” – We have an ethernet port right next to the TV, therefore we don’t need wireless and don’t need to pay what would be the extra money.

“why wouldn’t you want a next generation storage medium” – In case the other looses, luckily for Sony there’s didn’t. But they wouldn’t be in a good position if it had been the other way around.

“last generation medium” – Last time I checked the Wii couldn’t play DVDs – though it does use the DVD technology.

“One already available for pc and the other soon to be” – my mistake there, I should have pointed out console exclusive rather than exclusive.

“They’ve already dropped their best games” – So are we all going to forget about Gears of War 2, Halo Wars and Ninja Gaiden 2. The 360 has plenty of years left in it so plenty of time for new games to be released, there is no doubt in my mind the 2007 was a good gaming year for the 360 and it sounds like 208 will be a good one for the PS3.

Jonathan, that is probably the worst reasoning I’ve seen in some time for why you chose the 360 over the PS3. How can you bring yourself to say its a good thing you don’t get all-in-one. Why wouldn’t you want to have wireless, why wouldn’t you want a next generation storage medium. I’m pretty sure the 360 is the first system of a generation that used a last generation medium. You also name 2 so called exclusives in Bioshock and H3. One already available for pc and the other soon to be. Thats one of 360s unknown problems. They’ve already dropped their best games. And their best games, Bioshock, Mass Effect, etc are all available on the PC. So why buy this machine at all, especially when these days its not guaranteed it will work very long.

I really like my PS3. You need to get Fall of Man and GH3. They are both awesome. I am going to be selling my ps3 in the next few days because I don’t have time to play it. I still prefer it over any system.
Good job!

I think I can answer some of your questions about the Xbox 360 and put a bit of insight into why I chose one over the Playstation 3:

One thing that really set me off getting a Playstation 3 has the fact that our Playstation 2 broke so I wasn’t sure if it was worth risking it again.

Yes you do have to pay for Xbox Box LIVE Gold but not Silver. I don’t think that it’s a negative having to pay for it as it is pretty much universally agreed that LIVE is the best online gaming experience around. After all that is what the Xbox 360 experience is all about – Online gameplay.

As for your point around accessories: I think it is a good thing that you don’t get it all-in-one. I mean, if we got wireless built in we would have payed for something we didn’t use. It’s the same with blu-ray for the Playstation 3. We don’t have our 360 plugged into an HD Tv all the time – this means that be would have payed for something that I wouldn’t use.

And consider that Blu-Ray hadn’t won the format war, that would mean that they have this drive which no one is making movies for, while in this case Microsoft is easily able to move to the Blu-Ray platform with ease and not loose anything.

As for “we had a Playstation 1, PS2 and now a PS3 that is one reason” I’m snot sure if that really helps considering… http://tinyurl.com/2mvvkn

The Rd Ring of Death has been a problem for a fair few number of people, however I am not to worried as Microsoft announced last year that it would be replace all those broken consoles with new ones for free, which are meant to have better performance then the older models.

And finally the games, the Playstation doesn’t really have that many exclusives that I would want while the 360 on the other hand has quite a few: Bioshock, Halo 3 and the episodic GTA IV content (http://tinyurl.com/2wasxj).

I hope you understand my reasons, I won’t even go into price, just compare what you can get for the same money with an Xbox 360
