Games Consoles

[John Keswick 119]

Years ago i had the original sega console, then a few years later upgraded to a dreamcast. That was the last games machine that i owned.

 

Whats peoples opinion on the latest games consoles compared to the antiques that i describe and which one in your opinion is best?

 

I have been thinking about getting a up to date version and from i have read so far, the ps3 is the best one, but i have not seen any of them in action, yet...

I had a Spectrum ZX and Atari right up untill 1990, then after that I owned a Nintendo 64, gave up in the end and went for Wii.

i've got an xbox360 never play on it though.

Bloody hell, i remember the zx spectrum

Loading the games up from a tape was real b*****d especially when you almost got it loaded and the connection stopped, you had to start all over again.

 

There seems to be two sides to the games consoles, xbox lovers and ps3 lovers.

 

What are the games like nowadays?

Nah. I'll stick with my free internet access PS3 thanks. Bill gates can shove his 360 up his arse.

 

The best ever games console was probably the Sega Megadrive or the N64. And todays consoles just don't stack up I'm afraid. Sure you get HD Games, 3D Games, internet access, multiplayer, expansion packs etc... but you don't get the nostalgia. You don't get the joy you had as a kid/teenager when you play todays consoles.

 

Atleast that's my view on it. Still can't wait for AC: Revelations though.

I think i am going to have to go and look at them in action, but from i can make out, the ps3 has better graphics, but not as many games available???

i own a ps3 and an xbox 360 both are good but if im honest the ps3 wins but only for the free internet and i find the controllers easier to hold and use on the very rare occasion i play on them

It's roughly the same amount. You get games that are exclusive to either the 360 or PS3, but it generally works out the same I believe. If there was a difference in available titles, it'd be less than double figures.

 

Edited In: I was incorrect. The 360 and Wii consoles have more games available than the PS3, this is due to the PS3 being released later than the 360/Wii/any other console. Again, it's not a huge gap in title numbers, so it's not that big a deal.

Got the best games console going. Had it for years, Its called a slip lead.

 

Best place for games consoles is in the cupboard with the breville toaster, juicing machine and the rest of the crap.

PS3 all the way! Got Battlefield 3 coming on Friday, and am currently ploughing my way though Batman: Arkham City.. Been my birthday this week and I think it's the first time I've ever had two brand new titles instead of waiting for them to come down in price!
