Man, I am at a crossroad here. I want the Wii for the new Zelda game, but I want the 360 for the awesome graphics on Madden!

 

[SteveOS]

I have the 360 and I'm going to try and grab a Wii tomorrow morning. If not, oh well.

 

[Kevinicus]

From what I hear, the Wii madden is the best. 360 Madden is same ole, same ole, just prettier. Now Gears of War, that's a game, and looks better than anything else you'll find out there right now. All the PS3 games suck for now, not that you can find a system anyway.

 

[the kid 05]

Yeah for sure Gears is THE game out right now, out of all the systems. I'm in the same boat as SteveOS if i get one tommorrow i will get one, but for Zelda, the Wii-mote has me curious as long as the old school downloads.

and the ps2 offically made me hate anything sony. and i will state now that the blu-ray disk will fail horribly just like the mini-disk player

 

[Doomsday]

I recently bought a 360 and I love it. The graphics are amazing on my 42 inch LCD. I wouldnt buy a PS3 or Wii for a few months the first couple of runs of every new console always has bugs when it first comes out. The first run of 360s had issues with locking up. Plus it usually takes programmers 6 months to a year to cathup to the new technology and start building games for the next gen from the ground up. The new games for 360 are just now starting to take full advantage of its capabilities, I have noticed a big difference in the look and game play of recent releases.

umm sony isn't the only one that is pushing blu-ray and mini disk didn't fail it is just a niche product used primarly(sp) in the radio production and sound production business.

the wii is nothing more than a suped up gamecube with a wierd controller. The controller will make or break the console.

 

[locked&loaded]

i go ps3. they will have more titles, and more titles that i will like.
final fantasy, gran turismo, devil may cry, jak and daxter, metal gear solid, killzone etc. and the grapics already look as good or better than the 360s. the only down side is, sony blow at releasing info and the online will not be as good as 360s. blu ray is looking pretty smart at the moment, the capacity is overall alot better. better visuals and sound. and many companys are actualy backing blu ray. ps3 ftw.

 

[DaBoys60]

I got Madden on the PC. Like it better than the game consoles.

 

[Cochese]

Get a 360. I have had mine for a couple of weeks, and I find new things everyday that make me drop my jaw and say WOW. Ive been a Sony fanboy all of my life, I loved my PS, adored my PS2, but this **** blows them away. Live is the best online gaming experience, I play against my friend in Montana, I play against people I work with, I play with people from England and Mexico, its really undescribable how cool it is. The graphics are just as good as a PS3, the system is cheaper and their are a TON of amazing games out right now. I just got Rainbow 6 Vegas and was up until 6 this morning playing it. You cant go wrong with a 360.

actually the ps3 graphics are a better on some games. plus 360 is a year ahead...what does that tell you. 360 doesnt have that many good games out, i could count them on my hand probably. gears of war,cod3,oblivion, madden, and maybe rainbow. but cod3, oblivion, madden and rainbow are all coming out on ps3. with the ps3 you can also browse the web, play up to 1080p, blu ray ofcourse which we will see if it is going to work out or not. plus online is free, even though it wont be as good as xbox live its still free. i give ps3 the nod. fa show.

And the PS3 has what? That ******** fighting aliens WWII game? Yea, great call.

Why would you want to browse the web on your TV? Know anyone with WEBTV in the 90's? Heres a hint, it sucked.

Havent you heard that the PS3 downscales games to 480p on anything but the newst HD tv's?

Free online? You mean like that piece of crap online system on the PS2?

Year ahead? You mean like how the PS3 should have been out about a year ago?

Blu Ray is just ********, I am happy with DVD's I dont need this proprietary format nonsense.

Gears of War is as good looking graphically as any game can get, and I DARE you to find me any noticable difference in multiplatform games like Madden.

Gears isn't comeing out for ps3, cod3 is a multi, as is oblivion, madden, rainbow.

Xbox 360 you can play with 1080P

You have HD-DVD, i dare you to try and tell me the difference besides the disk size

PS online is free...remember ps2's online service?

the graphics are the same, show me proof that they are different and i will show you they are the same

first why should the ps3 been out a year ago? the ps2s graphics were still getting better. xbox was out for about 4 years yet they decided to come out wiht another system. microsoft forced the next generation. therefor they have a year head start.

why would you browse the internet on your tv? hmm let me think, not every family has more than 1 computer. also you dont have to go back and fourth between the video game and computer if you want to see a website just use the ps3, i dont see how you dont think its a great idea.

there not doing the property format, they bought the patent but that doesnt mean they have to use it. the reason they are using blu ray is so you can fit more information on a disk. xboxs dvd can fit 9 gigs ps3 can fit 50. for more detail and the developer has as much space as possible. and for movies its sharper with better sound.

havent you heard you can change the settings of the ps3 from 480 to 720 to 1080 etc.

some people dont want to pay almost 5 bucks a month to play online, and xboxs online is better by far right now, but there are such things as updates that can be loaded for online changes.

you dare me to find difference in graphics? o wow how about a double dare? first of all multi platform games are usaly just ported thats why there are only slight differences between 360 and ps3.
but i will show you this just for fun.

in your opinion which one is better? same game. fight night round three but one just looks better. and i think you know which one.

and in a year when you compare 360s game from right now to ps3s games, they will be better. but i know its not all about the graphics, so i will now talk about the games.

final fantasy, killzone, devil may cry, grand turismo, tekken, god of war and even games like lair, motorstorm, 8 days, white night story with many more to come. they all look good.

retarted alien fighting war game. OH LIKE HALO AND GEARS OF WAR WOW. good call buddy.

and 360s launch games blew to, so how can you even rip on ps3 launch games?

i never said gears of war was coming out for ps3. read my post again. see my other post on how the graphics arent the same. and ofcourse some games are going to look the same, and some 360 games will look better the ps3s. but the best of both will only shop ps3 to be better. graphic wise.

I guess you missed all of the times the PS3 was pushed back, doesnt suprise me.

Not all families have more than 1 computer, but you assume these same families can shell out $600+ for a video game machine, real smart.

Keep thinking blue-ray isnt a PROPRIETARY format, thats the word, look it up if you are confused, which you obviously are. Its as much sony as betamax and mini-disc, both smashing successes. It is Sony's way of forcing their DVD format into consumer houses so maybe they win the next gen DVD war and stop losing billions of dollars a year on stuff like exploding batteries, their pathetic digital music players, and the shameful PSP with its own proprietary movie format.

The rest of this is just ********. Nice way to pick two completely different screenshots to show how 'right' you are. Its pointless to try to reason with someone who just doesnt know the material.

awsome. i love people who think they are so right they have to ignore the obvious. that is amazing, are you also one of the people who would liek to know my age so you could say im to young to know anything. because those people are even more great.

im sorry if you are confused, but i am talking about the playstation 3. not sonys mpg players, or batteries used in lap tops. and the not so shameful psp. the ps3 was pushed back, so what? if microsoft hadnt pushed the next gen so early they wouldnt of had to push the system back. who wanted a new system so early. i mean its greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat if you want to buy systems every 4 years but some want it to last 8 to 10. so if the ps3 lasts 8 years its well worth that. but if you want to keep buying systesm every couple of years that will add up to more than 600 thats fine by me.

and sony wasnt the only one who invented blu ray. so there not pushing "their" dvd format. if you dont believe me look it up if your confused. see i can make this personal just liek you do and even go ahead and question others intelligence over the computer. o big man. big big man.

and two different screen shots. i didnt know graphics changed everytime the character moved thus creating differnt pictures showing graphic capabilities.
but this is pretty close, both characters are doing the same thing. now can you tell me the difference or is it still a waste of time?

Yes, blame M$ for Sony pushing their system back from last winter, to this spring to this winter. That all makes perfect sense, its all big bad Bill Gates fault that Sony diddnt have it together when they said they would. No gaming console will ever last 8 to 10 years ever again, what rock do you live under? Where have you been these last 8 years?

Keep believing the dream that Sony arent behind beta-ray technology, thats so ignorant, I dont even know what to say. Its hard not to mention other failed Sony technologies (batteries that go boom, betamax lasted 10 years, right? crappy media players, and the failed PSP and its horrible movies) when talking about the newest soon to be failed sony technology.
How young are you? Do you remember the head of the playstation division promising Toy Story quality graphics for the PS2? What a load that was.

Know the meaning of PROPRIETARY yet? That can be your word for the day, tell your teacher, I'll bet she will be impressed.

The games? For every Sony exclusive their is just as good as M$ excluse. Gran Turismo has Forza, DMC will be multiplatform, for Lair their is Bioshock and it goes on, and on, and on.

And your pictures are completely misrepresentative of what is going on, its so funny, but not as funny as those poseurs Oasis. One picture has obviously been taken with a digital camera from a TV, the other is an EA Sports pre-render special.

It just amazes me that with the way Sony treat their consumer, people still line up to suckle at the Sony teet. Its like an abusive marriage, maybe the 10th time you get together it will work out.

take a picture of a game that cross platform and if i have it i'll take a picture that way we can compare

ya ign took a digital camera picture of fight night but just for 360. infact they took 45 digital pictures. o and they recorded the videos of the game on a video camera to right? mhmm that must be it. because the pictures look just as bad as the video.

o wow. yes lets take a total irrelevant topic like my favorite band oasis. which is opionated, just to make your argument more valid, which it doesnt. way to go, you are one smart fellow. and what technique.

sony doesnt release as much info as they should, and "o my god" sony you pushed the ps3 back! how dare you. you should of put it out as early as possible just because the 360 is out. the fact is people buy sony because for the last 8-10 years its had the best games and best systems.

they never reached toy story graphics, but i will state again. microsoft forced the next gen, ps2 is still having games come out and the graphics are still getting better.they were on there way.
http://media.ps2.ign.com/media/655/655717/img_2436779.html

and no gaming counsel will ever last 10 years? really? forgive me for not buying into systems coming out every 4 years, i think every company shoudl want there system to last as long as possible. but evidently you like buying systems like its a galon of milk.

i live under a very nice "rock" i like it, infact ive lived under it for 16 years.

as i will state again, sony wasnt the only one who invented blu ray. it was a collaboration.


the games go on and on and on? o please do go on and on and on. forza isnt even close to grand turismo. grand turismo is a game people will buy a system for, forza is not. devil may cry coming to the 360 ? thats a rumor. that seems to be pretty wrong at this point. bio shock, great another halo copy. Good for the 360.

ps3 has better exclusives, you see sometimes you have to admit things. im sure you can do it, if not just go to your mom and tell her how right you are and how wrong i am.
