ok well im gonna get bored over the long holidays soooo im planning to buy a gaming console thingy
so the question is which should i buy? out of...
wii, nintendo ds, xbox 360 ????
dunno which to get, ive seen that wii doesnt have much good games except the sport ones , ds is like brain training and thats all? and xbox 360 has like all the new games???? ahh help me choose!
ps.. i dont want computer games i want an actual console. computers have too much trouble especially if its not top top notch..
-
I reckon you should buy an xbox 360. But if your just a casual gamer then you would be better of with a DS or Wii. The best console there is easily the 360, the graphics for the other two are just shit and average.
Have you thought of a PS3?
-
why isnt ps3 on the list?
-
360 FTW man...i mean halo 3...easy choice imo
-
360 for sure, only console that has fable 2
-
Hah.
/me is not really into consoles. Owns a Wii though.

And consoles hate you because your a wanker!

get a ps3 and get mgs 4, you won't regret it
-
I personally think consoles are much better gaming machines than PCs. The sole purpose of the console is for games and thus can dedicate all resources to the game, unlike PCs which also has to manage background processes as well.
Maybe I'm wrong, but it's my personal opinion.
Oh btw (in terms of gaming, 360 > PS3, in terms of overall features and interface PS3 > 360 lol)

Yes, but the resources within a console can never be as vast as a PC's - they are often constrained by space, cost and other technical constraints (overheating).
PCs are simply more flexible and play the games I want to play.
I'd simply say - pick the console that has the games you want.

do that

hmmm xbox360 sounds good
does anyone know which one to get theres the arcade, pro and elite... but isnt it just more space? do i need lots of space? arcade has like only 256mb or something is that enough? and does anyone know which store is best to buy it from?

Get a Xbox 360. You'd be getting it at a great time because of the new update that puts in on par with the PS3 features (or so I think.) The Xbox 360 online experience is tuned to awesomeness, despite a minor fee.
It's range of games is outstanding, with mostly American titles but it does have a few Japanese titles that might satisfy your JRPG thirst.
The 360's got quite a lineup and has a line of well established games.
The PS3 is losing its exclusive titles (Devil May Cry moving over to the Xbox, a hint of consideration in regards to Metal Gear Solid on the 360).

^ Congratulations. Join the 360 club :P
When you reach the end, search online for some explanations on the ending (it's similar to a cliffhanger, leaving a lot of questions open for the player. This paves the way for Assassin's Creed 2.. hopefully.)
-
haha thanks i gotta say it's good to join the club, next purchases will be fable 2 and far cry 2, i need to work a bit first though lol

Fable 2. They take approximately the same to complete once (assuming you play Fable 2 at a steady pace and not just follow the main story line) however Fable 2 allows greater replayability, allowing you to make different choices every time (resulting in a different world. For example, if you decide to help with a evil deed at the start, the town will be dilapidated when you return years later.)
