Xbox 360's are pretty crap, they've got some good games but they seem to constantly have something wrong with them.

How yes never to forget that it depends from PC to PC.
I guess wasting 500$ on a PS3 can get you a 512 MB Video Card, a 2 GB RAM along with (maybe in some places) an Intel 2.0 GHz Dual Core 2 processor for that 500$.
So why not to go for that choice....  -------------

| HEHE what about a WII? I had my 360 for 2 years now, nothing has gone wrong with it yet. So not every 360 breaks, just a bunch of them. It also depends what kind of games you want to play. |

I have a PC but got a 360 because PC's are so flippin expensive (for a good one) and the have to upgrade the darn things every couple of years, overall tho I still prefer PC if u have money cause I'm only a high school student I can't afford that so I got a 360 and its great. ------------- Sun Tzu All warfare is based on deception - Sun Tzu |

It's kind of pointless to discuss this unless we first set the premise of what makes a gaming platform superior. So far there has been a lot of talk about technical issues and price, but I believe what makes a gaming platform "better" is well, the games. And it's not just about quality but also genre. Personally I could've bought a XBOX360, a Wii or a new PC, it's just that many of the games I want will only be released on the PS3, and thus the lower prices of the XBOX360 and Wii and the potential technical superiority of a PC does not impact my choice. Generally I'd say consoles are better gaming platforms though, as you can just stick the game in and play without having to worry about compatibility or if you have the latest patch (more than once I've bought games which just so happened to be incompatible with some component of my PC, and games I had to spend an hour dling patches for before I could start playing the game without annoying bugs.). If you play mostly strategy games the PC is superior though, as you more or less have to play them with a mouse and keyboard, and the console selection of strategy games is rather poor. ------------- |

| The Wii hands down. beautiful, yet simple games created by very creative game designers. i love how the games can be controlled by the swooshing motion of your hand instead of just grabing a controller and pressing buttons constantly. Mario Galaxy is a must get, and the new super smash game is comin ina few days! After that a revamped version of MARIO KART!!! you just cant lose with the Wii =) |

PC, the reason for this above all is: it's customizable. yes, that goes from modding games to upgrading your machine. yeah, keyboard and mouse are not really intended for games but then, i couldn't imagine for life playing a shooter with soem weird gamepad-thingy. all in all, PC owns consoles big time. about prices, PCs in general are more expensive than consoles, but console games are more expensive than PC games, particularly because most get released low budget really soon (some later). the only real reason for me to considder a console is the old nostalgic feeling of a good beat em up game like street fighter or Soul Calibur for those who are not odl enough to know street fighter. you can't play that with keyboards or mouse and your buddy on the otehr side of another PC some blocks away... ------------- |

I've got to lean towards the Wii as well. I decided around my birthday that I wanted a console. I picked the Wii because it's something that my girlfriend and I can play together. It's not as complicated or intense as a PS3 or XBOX 360, so she really enjoys it. The fact that it's a lot cheaper didn't hurt either.

Look, every 2 years they come out with yet ANOTHER video gaming
console. You have to fork out hundreds of dollars for it, you can't
play your old console games on it, and the only thing you can do with
it is play games. For that reason, I favour the PC. The only time you ever need to fork out money is to upgrade your RAM or graphics card, or to buy the new games. ------------- |

Try playing these on a console: Silent Hunter, Il-2, Flanker, B-17, Destroyer Command, X3. PC is the best. I got me a new one last year but I've kept the old one to play some old gold stuff (Tie Fighter
 ). |

Certain people I know of good financial capacity have elegantly circumvented this issue by a simple purchase of all three consoles (Xbox360, PS3 and Wii) and an upgrade of their PC. Others might say this is foolish unless you plan to spend all your spare time from now till judgement day playing games in order to play enough on each console to justify their purchase. I think they do though.
Personally I am more modest and will buy just a PS3 as soon as my studies are over, mainly because of Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy XIII, although atm I look forward to playing Grand Theft Auto 4, Assassin's Creed, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and Dynasty Warriors 6. The former three are also Xbox360 releases, but reviewers say the PS3 version of Oblivion is a slight improvement over the Xbox360 version, although you can top both with a new high end PC.
It has come to my notice that Age of Conan will be released on the Xbox360 and not the PS3 (it can of course be played on a PC but I'd love to avoid it, see my gripe with PCs in the previous post), which is a slight annoyance, and the latest Fire Emblem game has been released exclusively on Wii. You win some and lose some. ------------- |

| Each has their own pros and cons. PC has many good strategy games, but aside that hardly any exclusives, 360 is a very good console but must pay annually for online and also doesn't have enough enough exclusives. PS3, my favorite, is the best of all in my opinion, cause it has the best exclusive games, with a hardware which tops the other gaming consoles. |
