Systems on the market

[Darrellito]

Hey, I'm thinking of buying one of the 'Next Gen' consoles and would like to know some of the extra features of each console. Personally, though, I'm thinking about buying a Wii, only because of the price, and with the X-box 360, I've  heard that it's having alot of recalls for broken stuff.


So please, discuss.

If I had the money, I would get the Wii. PS3 doesn't look like it has anything to offer, and the XBox360 just looks meh to me.

Have a 360 here. I like it and haven't had a problem with it yet. But, you should look mainly at which consoles pleased you in the past and which next-gens have the type of games you want.

[Darrellito]

See I had my eye on the Wii, but I don't want to buy something like that and find out that the controler is just like one of those cheap games you see advertised on t.v. (Play t.v. baseball and other sports) and be disapointed. Of course though, I could always just take it back to the store i bought it from, but it would most likely be Walmart and they're really stingy with returns on video game and computer stuff. And from what i've heard from a freind of mine, they've had three call backs for the 360, and he's had to return his each time they had one. Even now, his 360 is broken. The disk tray refuses to open. But yeah, the ps3 is just a cheap blue ray player, and i'm more of a gamer then a movie guy.

The Wii isn't like that play tv crap. It's a really good controller.

Got me a Wii and a 360. Love em both.
You should get whichever has the most games you want.
PS3 has like 3 games I want so far, so it doesn't seem like a wise investment.

I think it just depends on the software.

I mean, the main games I "buy" are Final Fantasy, games made by Rockstar, sports games, the Project Ico games, and other Square-Enix games.

I had a Super Nintendo, I bought a Playstation, I then got a PS2, then a Gamecube, and now I'm looking at the PS3. If you'll notice, these are the systems which had FF the most.

Even though a Wii, and the Mistwalker 360 games sound tempting, I'm gonna stick with the PS3 and the Final Fantasy games coming out for it. If it makes the switch to another system (Probably 360) I'll get that system instead.

Right now, the PS3 isn't impressing me which is a disappointment. I mean, a lot of the tech demos they used to show off looked gorgeous, but now it's like they're games look like FMVs as opposed to the well animated stuff. Especially with FF13, after that FF7 tech demo I'm disappointed with how it's going. I just can't get interested in the disk drive space and the blu-ray player stuff.

What's are your favorite games? Try to go by that, imo.

[Darrellito]

Ok, it seems like more people have 360s then Wiis right now so could anyone tell me some of the games that you like? I haven't personally looked into what's avalible, so this would save me some time. Also, Wii games would help too.

Edit: Is it true that they're making a ff7 remake for the ps3?

(The Rayman game looks good)

[aboutasoandthis]

From what I know, no. It looked more like they were using Dirge of Cerberus's and that one "Zack" game's engine, and using PS3 to take away the lag. I wouldn't be surprised if they made a remake, but it's unlikely.

[Darrellito]

I was just wondering, because me and a freind of mine (Tmlunder) were watching a movie off the internet of ff7 and all the graphics were updated and when the intro came to the title like in ff7, it said Playstaion III underneath it. But yeah, that might have had something to do with Advent Children.

[MrMister]

That was a tech demo, they said they won't make a full game of it.

The Wii controller for Wii tennis is actually quite accurate. I play tennis semi-professionally, and like on the Wii i could change my shots from spin shots to slice shots by tilting my wrist. So yea, Wii is actually much better then I thought it would be. And I thought it would be good from that start.

Well, just pit what is out now against each other.

360: Gears Of War, ?
PS3: ?
Wii: Zelda!

Ok so I don't keep that in touch with the gaming world.

[Darrellito]

The only trouble though, with the Wii, is that they are in such high demand, that you can't find one any where. And when a store finally gets one in stock, they sell it out right -a- way. But if anyone knows a good way to get a Wii (besides e-bay) It would be greatly appreciated.

[Linkizcool]

Ask a store to phone you once they get one. Small-scale stores will do this, maybe big stores like Wal-Mart might too.
