DHA Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Have a pre-order for the Wii but wondering if I should cancel and go for a 360 instead? The majority of games I have on my PS2 are driving and sports games, which would lead me to a 360 but not totally sure which I should go for.

Dave Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Don't know much about the Wii, but the 360 now has great online gaming, made even better by seeing which of your mates is online. Just needs a few more classic titles to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHA Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 PS3 is too much money for something that after a few months I wont use regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malagus Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 hmm.. ok, sport would be quite good on wii i reckon, using the wand to play tennis and stuff sounds good, but i think its more of a family tool than a gaming masterpiece. tougie to decide though. have the launch games for wii been finalised yet??

Thorburn Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Shark, if you meant to be posting in here and mean get the PS3, well dunno if I'd agree with that. The Wii's motion sensing controller should really set it apart, the PS3 and 360 may be willy waving over high-def, but at the end of the day its not about how good the game looks, its about how much fun it is to play. Same story with the PSP, sold mine and got a DS Lite because it gives a unique gaming experience and is more fun. Nintendo are being very smart with the modest hardware spec and a focus on good old fashioned fun games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snail Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 If your after quick, pick up and play games, the Wii is the console for you. If you after something a bit more long lasting, then the PS3/360 is your choice. About 50% of the PS3's launch titles are available on 360, i think exclusives are going to be a lot more rare, so console choice isn't going to be as important as before.

gizze Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Has the 360 got some games worth playing now??!! Seriously, the 360 is my least used console of all time, only beaten by the original xbox. I still use my SNES more than the 360. The Wii will offer something fresh or be a real let down, but the new Zelda and Mario games will be worth the price alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snail Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 [ QUOTE ] Has the 360 got some games worth playing now??!! [/ QUOTE ] Its all down to your favourite genre of games. The 360 (and xbox before it) was a console of FPS, quite a few sports and driving titles, and very little else. I like FPS and Driving games, so have had very few periods of inactivity on my 360. The 2 games you list, suggest the 360 and PS3 will probably be of little interest to you for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The massive thing that appeals to me is Xbox Live, and I've nearly bought one a time or two, but keep deciding against it. I bought a PS2 and used it for about 3 weeks, and it's gathered dust since. As much as I like gaming, I don't think I'll buy any of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its great in theory but watching a film on UMD is a bit rubbish due to the tiny screen and the fact that the constant reading from the disc runs the battery flat very quickly indeed.

AntW Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I am looking at getting Wii for Christmas Partly becuase it is more family friendly and the missus will be able to play I might get a PS3 or 360 when the prices drop, but my Xbox will do for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Shocking quality? I find that a strange comment. It got nothing but praise for build quality, so not sure how you get to that result. I've had mine since it came out and it's not once let me down, and the build quality is the usual high-quality sony. I don't watch movies on UMD - only a fool would. Simply copy any of your existing titles to a memory stick and you're laughing - doesn't kill the battery that way. I also find it a good size to listen/watch when on a journey for example. As for the Wii or 360 - well it would have to be the 360. I simply do not like anything Nintendo produce. Not my cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilB Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 We sell them at work and the amount we have back with dud speakers, buttons not working or falling off is a bit of a piss take for the price you pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I've never seen one fail (a whole bunch of them bought them at the same time). I used to work at Sainsbury's. I've never ever buy electronics from there. I used to see what went on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
