okay so im gunna do a simple guide Not a consle war a guide.

first things first the

PS3:


Preformance:

The ps3's preformance is quite good, being a bluray out of the box what can you expect? it has customizible features similer to the psp. but mostly the ps3's preformance is based on which version of which console you have either the 20 gig 60 gig or eighty gig
being the fastest.

Visuals:

The Ps3's Visuals are also great as well Again it all comes up to which console you have. What more can you expect from a blu ray player?

Games:

Now, I know that this is one of the biggest debates over games and most people say that the ps3 has no exclusives but it actually does from games to motor storm to drakes fortune.

Controls:

The controls are moderitly the same as the ps2's no major diffrences there.

Features:

-Blu ray Player
-Plays PS2 games
-Internet acsess
-Stunning Graphics

Xbox:

Preformance:

the 360s preformance is just as good as any other consoles with fast acsess to your friends and Downloadible games/Demos
the Xbox is Quite fast but may freeze depending how long you keep it

Visuals:

The Visuals on the Xbox are just a smigit less than the PS3 so if thats what your looking for well Knock yourself out!

Games:

The Xbox has great games such as Mass effect,Bioshock ,HALO 3,Gears of war etc. thus the war on the ps3 vs. 360 games war

Controls:

The controls are some what diffrent than the regular Xbox but you will get used to them after playing around with them a bit

Features:

- Can connect with friends for more people on it
- contorlers connect moderatly fast


And finally The wii:

Preformance:

Well what can i say its a nintendo system we all know its preformance

Visuals:
Again what can i say its from nintendo we all know it was ment for the games not graphics etc.

Games:

well, the wiis games are mostly all exclusive so if your a fan of the mario genre then go crazy!

Controls:

the wiis controls take some getting used to so drop that game controler and pick up the wiimote and practice practice practice!

Features:

- Fun
- Small and Portable
- Wireless controlers



So i hoped that helped! plz do your console wars somewhere else because i dont want it here

Cheers,Bobert

Honestly, a valiant attempt, but really who didn't know all this stuff by now?

And you act as if Nintendo systems are always technologically inferior, well aside from the GameCube and Wii they were always top of the line ^_^ Gamecube only a small bit behind Xbox.

How many of these consoles do you actually own/used long enough to formulate a decent comparison?

That's really no excuse. Just because "every single person" cannot spell correctly is no excuse not to do so yourself.

Spelling aside, the whole thing was rushed with multiple arguments you raised being invalid. I don't even own any of these machines and I read the first system and stopped because a lot of it was simply incorrect from my knowledge of the systems.

Quote: "The ps3's preformance is quite good, being a bluray out of the box what can you expect?"


What has storage medium have to do with performance?

Anyways, it was a valiant effort, I'll give it that.

Oh, lay off the man. He wrote a poor review so what just say 'good job' and leave it where it is.

And Biggadd- can you stop it with those shiny and cool looking signatures! I mean, seriously man, you had me with your 2004 sig

Yeah, I like them to, and that's the problem. I start to like the so much that I enjoy seeing them at the bottom of your posts. But wait- what's this? It's only been 3 days and you've got a NEW super shiny sig. I haven't even gotten completely adjusted yet!

Oh, I dunno, I just can't recall the year that you first had an uber forum sig. 2004 was just your join date so I figured- heck, you've probably been a graphic design god since you were a fetus

The review was bad. I could have just made all of that up based on rumors and my own warped opinions. However, I'd have had to be drunk and totally without a spell checker anywhere on the Internet. Thus, a paradox has been achieved, because if I was on the Internet to post such a review I would indeed have access to a spell checker.

Also, you seem biased against the Wii in particular. You can't be biased if you write a review, otherwise you're just a ranting fanboy.


Come see the WIP!

I think the question should not be "What console to buy?" but rather:

"What console to buy First?"

I own a Xbox 360 and a Wii. I will buy a PS3 when little big planet is released, but I will not buy it as a gaming machine, but as a BluRay player.

And maybe not even that, if whats said is true, that HVD (Holographic Versatile discs) are set to replace BluRay and HDDVD in 2012

Wow, hypocrisy. I chastised someone here for incredibly poor spelling previously and got people crying at me because he is dyslexic.

However, there's NO excuse for not having a spell-checker as it's built-in to most web browsers nowadays.

I personally value good spelling in a review, as bad spelling can give the impression that little time and effort were put into it, especially when it looks that way already.

you know what i am gonna stay on the fpsc forums because you guys are to picky and besides at least people were actually nice to me there you know who you are.

and besides, i wrote this review to be as true as i could make it and yes i own a ps3 and my friend has both the 360 and the wii and i have played both enough to knnow what im talking about.

and the reason i was so biased towards the wii is becuase it is meant to play games and only games last time I checked the wii couldnt play dvd's now could it?

Well.. Perhaps easiest choice for you would be changing your crappy Internet Explorer to Opera or Firefox.
Both of them has spell checking!

I'll give you a guide:

Check which console has or will have the games you like most, or that has the style you like most. Buy it. Buy the games you like. Play.
