aye, a great drinking game and all that...but your right, games these days aren't quite the same....but this one does look like a tempting present for x-mas...

ahh the totalitarian approach... I'm guessing you're one of "those people" tho think games don't teach people or kids anything but running around outside teaches everything?

try using that "approach" in LA and see which one is worst... I

me - I go for all things in moderation, a healthy amount of each and every activity... apart from guns.

Ignore rushy. He's probably posting from outside a best buy waiting in a queue for the PS3. Probably has one of his young uns elsewhere queing for a wii. Also I think he's upset because rockstar didn't take him up on his Grand Theft Auto: Bethnal Green game idea.

who said all day? everything in moderation

technology is a part of society whether you like it or not. harping back to the good old days of jumpers for goal posts and hide and seek is all very well. If you don't add a balance of IT exposure in with development then the most important thing your kids will ask of this world is "would you like that to go" . . .

Probably get a PS3 - at least if I dont like it I can make $2k by selling it in the UK before March!!!


The controller for the Wii is a great concept but apparently Nintendo are putting much store in this cos they cant compete graphically!

Yeah nintendo seem to competing on price and gameplay as hte Wee is just a pumped up version og the gamecube graphically i've heard

Thats why i'm interested in it anyway....

I have pretty graphics on my PC, up until a week ago defeintely better than the xbox 360.... I'll see what the PS3 has to offer

Sony inspired FUD And remember that the ps3 controller is a poor rip off from the Nintendo. The air plane game developers said they were only given 2 weeks before e3 to get the controller in game.

Personally I am getting a wii. I have a pc with a top level graphics card and so that is where my graphics fix is coming from. I don't need a blue ray or dvd hd player so why get a 360 or a ps3.

The controller for the wii is what differentiates it. It's going to be a different gaming experience from the other consoles and the PC. If you look at the games out these days on consoles and pc's they all tend to be sequels with lots of newer flashy graphics but underneath they are the same thing. What child of the 70's/80's wouldn't want to play a starwars lightsaber game on the Wii?

Also its cheap. In fact MS recently said in a press conference that you could buy a 360 and a Wii for the price of a ps3.

Some of the early stuff I've seen on PS3 is pretty amazing - but looking forward to seeing the finished deal. I was playing on the Wii last weekend and the controller is pretty cool, takes some getting used to though!

I thinik the Wii is gonna get boring very quickly, once the novelty of the controller goes, and it will do, all you are left with is a Gamecube, and all the games are definately made for younger kids (Mario this, Mario that).

The PS3 all the way!

I thought it would be "do you want fries with that?"

It's the HD offerings that make the difference on these new machines that the PC doesn't offer, great if you have a fat HD tele to hook up to...

Exactly, and the Blu-ray will mean they can make massive games HD games and not worry about filling up the disks

aye, but there's potential for more fun though, have a tribal game out like Zulu, or archery and go swatting away, could be a great laugh, especially mixed in with a drinking game

It just makes me think of the Eye-Toy that they had for the PS2. I know this is a lot more advanced then this, but it got boring very quickly - how much waving around like an idiot are people going to want to do. Eventually you will want to just sit down and play a game.

And I still struggle with the high-tech in Asteroids
