Hey guys, i've been in the market for a new gaming machine, i got a good pc but i want a console, i will tell you what i like and could someone reccomend me one?

Well, i play shooting games over everything else, i adore all thos fps games, i love online gaming, especially shooters online, i don't mind racing games either, i like a few RPG games, never really liked final fantasy but i a few other brand names, my price range is 100 - 800 DOLLARS (AUD) in which i will buy during the week.. could anybody here reccomend me a console and what games to buy?

That pretty much puts the 360 as your option, then...  There are so many good shooters on the 360 at the moment that you will be busy for quite a while to come...  BUT, keep in mind that a lot of the great shooters on the 360 are also on your PC...

There are some decent RPGs on the 360 as well with Mass Effect just coming out and Lost Odyssey on the near-term horizon.

In second place, you have some shooters on the PS3 as well but not nearly as many at the moment.

Lastly, the Wii... Great console, but if you are a shooter fan, there aren't that many.

 

If you do get a 360, get the elite so you have the big hard drive and check the manufactured date.  Look for one made October or later to be sure you get the latest hardware.  The 120 gig hard drive will come in handy...  If you can't swing the dough, the Pro is still a good deal, but you will eat up the hard drive pretty quick if you like to download demos and such.
