I traded my Wii to my cousins for their ps3 and I got to say.

What a disappointment. The PS3 is terrible! Just to play, its got to install the goddamn game! it takes over an hour each game just to install and update!

I miss my Wii. :(
Don't blame the PS3, blame Metal Gear Solid 4. That's the only PS3 game I have with mandatory installs. Man, that game has to install every chapter every time you want to play it, even if you've already installed it before. I understand your pain.

But on the bright side, that's the only PS3 game I know that you have to install. Well, I dunno about SOCOM, but that game got terrible reviews anyway.

Playstation 3 all the way! :)
It's the best console all around, I love playing it.
It has the best hardware, awesome games, and good graphics.
Get one now. :P

What's the best video-gaming console out there? Express here your opinion on which console you chose.
Also, if you like making an video-game console review, feel free to do so, only hardcore gamers allowed in this topic !

Thanks,

I like the Xbox 360 the most, but the Wii is a must have. You need to have a Wii

LIER!! Every G*****N game I popped in required to be installed! Then they needed updates too!

It took a good 3 hours for each game. <_<

Well, I said "the only PS3 game I have". LittleBigPlanet and Uncharted didn't require install, and Street Fighter IV and Valkyria Chronicles's installs are completely optional.

So what are those games that required to be installed? (That should help me know what to avoid =P)

I voted for the Nintendo Wii because it keeps you active where as the PS3 and Xbox 360 do not.

My favourite would probably be the 360 as many of my favorite games are on it. These are Tomb Raider Legend, Oblivion, Call of Duty 2, Perfect Dark Zero, and Dead Rising.

I love how the games run mostly smoothly and the interface for the xbox 360 main menu is very cool. That's my opinion though

I would go with the xbox360 because i own one.. but it failed me about 3 times already and im sick of it. Maybe ill buy a PS3 eventually.
Which is better ? i think both xbox360 and PS3 come in a tie, Xbox has a huge library of games and the online matchmaking service is outstanding. The ps3 is wifi capable, blu-ray player and also has a good libary of games if you are a fan of the excellent titles on the ps2.
So i would say if your looking for a good next gen console go for the xbox360 but if your looking into playing your favorite game franchises which are exclusively available to playstation, get a PS3.

I would say the xbox 360; basically because I have a wii and a regular old xbox. I got so much more enjoyment out of the xbox than I have with the wii. I am yet to find a decent single player game for the wii. Too much nonappropriate wiggling and waggling controls that do nothing but break the immersion and tire you out.

The 360 has heaps of games I wish I could play!! I might buy one when I get my tax back... it depends how much I am able to save before then, because I will have to save for a car too.

Sheesh Hannah, it's not the Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii, PS3 poll. :P I may as well say that I had more enjoyment from my Nintendo 64 than my Gamecube and Wii. :P You don't even have a 360, so how can you judge? xD

If I were you, I'd be abusing the hell out of the Wii Shop Channel. There are SO many brilliant games on there. Most of them I already have on older consoles, but hey, it's worth picking up 5 brilliant N64 games for the same price as a newly-released-waggletron.

But as for some Wii games to look at, for 1P-ness:
- SUPER MARIO GALAXY (cannot stress that enough)
- Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
- Metroid Prime 3: Echoes (or if you can, the Metroid Prime Trilogy, which should be out soon or now)

Probably others that I can't think of off hand.

Out of those three, I only have a Wii. Though out of the three, I'd much rather have a PS3 then a Wii :|

Gonna have to go with 360.
Plays music, plays awesome games, has an online feature, and I bet if you flipped it over...it'd make burgers for you. :P

Never been dissapointed with my choice. But I was a bit depressed when I saw this really awesome RPG Game come out for ONLY Playstation 3. Probably the only time I ever wanted one of those. :P

Mastodi, I combined your thread with our other console-battle topic.
But this is only opted between the 3 latest consoles. My favourite is the N64, I know its not the best in graphics or capabilities, but the games on them were always the best.

His topic was Wii, XBox 360 and PS3 as well.

XD Good point.... But I doubt anyone has all three, so noone can really be completely accurate in their opinions. I'm just saying, of the three, I want the 360 most. And wish I had one instead of the wii.

There are plenty of people with all three, though I agree that it probably is a waste.

Why don't you come over and play some 360 with me? I have lotsa Sega games. :3
