I think Sony's rep is quickly going down the tubes with the launch issues of the PS3 and while I know the 360 has had its faults too, the fact that it has already launched with a year behind it (and longer before the PS3 launches in Europe) and it is on a par with the PS3 graphically then it wins it for me.

I'm not entirely convinced with the longevity of the Wii to be honest and I've already got a 360 which I've been well impressed with. Gears of War, Rainbow Six, et al are both graphically impressive and play like a dream.

I've still got my PS2 which is an old dog but a good un and probably still has plenty legs left in it yet

The 360 games look shit hot!

....but I'll probably end up with the PS3, as I NEED my fix of the Pro Evo games...

that and MGS4!

Pro Evo is out on the 360 but at the minute it's been completely and utterly cut down either down to Konami rushing it or MS getting Konami to rush it into release.

Still have the PS2 version of Pro Evo 6 and it's well minted.

Gears of War at the minute is taking up most of my 360 time. I've not even cracked on Rainbow Six yet :(

Christmas is officially written off study-wise!

I've just been playing Wii Sports for 6 hours! My wee bro just bought one a few days back, he got the last one they had in ASDA and shouted at the people who were still in the queue, 'Haha! I just ruined your clidrens' Christmas!'

:lol:

PS3


I couldn't agree more. Though i'm going to have to wait at least a year to save up for one... and the PS consoles usually break in the first year anyway, until they work out how to fix it and release a new version that doesn't break just after the bloody warranty runs out... bastards. But yes. If it wasn't for MGS4 I probably wouldn't care about getting a PS3 (usually I'd say Final Fantasy as well but 13 looks a bit shit and 'gung-ho' for silly action boys, I want bloody swords and demons!). But unfortunately MGS4 looks like it really is going to be the best thing ever in the whole universe, and I have to spend a billion pounds to have it. I just simply must!

I have played Pro Evo, the racing game, and Call of Duty on XBox 360.

I hate football games and driving games, so the first two were pretty boring, but Call of Duty is my sort of thing. It was good and fun but took me a long time to get the hang of the toggles.

I'm not much of a gamer at all!

James, you should try and get a hold of Gears of War if you like Call of Duty. It's great and well worth it.

I got a beautiful Samsung 23" LCD TV for HiDef gaming on the 360... OMG it is sweet sweet sweet...

Played my mate's Wii last week and was decidedly underwhelmed by it all. It has novelty value I have to say but I don't know if it will have staying power
