The 'Playstation 3 and Wii' Thread

I'll be getting my PS3 like 3 weeks after the releasing day. It was very hectic when the 360 came out, I can't imagine what it would be like for the PS3 or the Wii.

 

I played the PS3 today at Target. I wasn't impressed. The graphics looked great, but that's it... is that what they want people to pay $600 for? Might as well get a XBOX360.

I'll gonna get a Wii sooner or later.

you aint gonna get good games this early in its existance.

took x-box 360 a year to get their truly next gen game out.

 

im getting the wii. im 25 and miss all of my old games. the option of having every game I grew up with is too tempting. Plus ther is no was im giving 600 bucks for a ps3 when the ps2 was only 200. Sorry Sony.

 

I'm getting a 360 before I get either system, mainly because I want Gears of War.

The PS2 was $499 when it came out if I don't remember wrong. The prices go down gradually.

Also, Samsung has a Blu-Ray player out now for $900 US. Considering the fact that the PS3 has a Blu-Ray player, $600 is worth it for that alone.

Yeah thats what I was going to say, not only is it better than the XBox 360, but it supports Blu Ray Discs, and it would cost you another $300 - $400 to buy a straight up Blu Ray player. So not only do you get a kick ass console, you get a Blu Ray player built in. XBox 360 only supports DVD.

 

soon it will support HD-DVD.

there already being sold on ebay... (you have to have a picture of your pre order reciet and like 50+ feedback) and there going for 1200-2000

wiis are going for about 600

anyways my cousins are gunna go wait infront of best buy for 2 days to get a ps3, there gunna sell it after so its like they stay out doors for 2 days and get a nice profit on it, one of them got a pre-order on the wii but he only wited like 4 hours to prereserve it while people where there for like a day.


also tickle-me-elmos should be going up soon as well

 

Good luck to everyone who's getting the PS3 and Wii on the release date. Get your pillows ready.

Nah that was the Xbox

 

he Blu-Ray player on the PS3 is bad from what I heard, and also HDDVD is better than Blu-Ray quality wise as well. Also the games on the 360 destroy all of PS3's. What game will you get with your PS3?

I personally would way rather have a 360 and a wii for the same price as a PS3.

 

I'm confused about the Xbox 360.

It doesn't play if you don't have an HD-TV?

Also what's the difference between the lower priced one and the higher priced one?

no xbox was 300 at release, some stores made you buy packages for liek 500

 

i got to play the playstation 3 on the playstation tour bus thing. its nothing special madden seems to be the same on the 360.

NO, it is just better on HD tv's. The lower price one has no hard drive (so you can't save anything) and it comes with a wired controller, not wireless. YOu don't get a headset adn a few other little gadgets. The premium system is definately the way to go if you want a 360.

 

Ok thanks I got it. I would get it ,but I would have to work really hard to make around $400.

And I'm pretty sure the price isn't dropping anytime soon.

if you gonna talk ****, atleast try to back it up with some sort of fact.

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Also the games on the 360 destroy all of PS3's. What game will you get with your PS3?</div>

metal gear, final fantasy, ratchet and clank, kill zone, jak and daxter, resident evil, silent hill, oblivion, resistance fall of man - these are what is coming out.

All 360 has is Halo - the most over-rated game ever marketed.

And spend twice as much on games? (one for 360 and one for Wii).

You end up spending more in the end.

 

I'm gonna grab a PS3 as well...gotta wait a few weeks though.
