Why XXX is my console of choice.

[Bursche]

Wii-

Got one close to launch because I love all the Nintendo franchises since the NES days. All the Mario, Metroid, and Zelda love right off the bat was to die for and the new controls are what gaming is now all about. I cant wait to see all the new Nintendo games and see how 3rd parties will take advantages of their controls the way the DS is.

Ps3-

Why I should buy it: Great games that I need. MGS4 and LBP mainly, and maybe FF13 if it meets the hype and isnt garbage like FF12. Dont really care about Blu-Ray or Home (which looks like a bust to me). But having a PS2, this might be a good upgrade when I look to buy my next console. Free online does look appealing on a college budget.

Why not to buy it: I dont have a HD TV, dont care for Blu Ray, and is too expensive on my budget.

360-

Why I should buy it: I love FPS and they dominate this console. All the weaknesses of the Wii are met with a 360. Live would probably be my best friend if I can afford it. Halo 3 and GeoW are must haves. Potential and old Rare games appeals to my N64 nostalgia. Ive never had an Xbox and BC would be fun. Also cheaper than PS3.

Why not to buy it: Online isnt free, looks like it wont have the same exclusives as PS3 that I want, RRoD would make me Xbox phobic for awhile. Rare might not make the games I hope for (Killer Instinct, Jet Force Gemini, a proper Perfect Dark)

 

Right now Im leaning towards a 360 just because it will suit me more and theres too  many extras I wouldnt use on a PS3. We'll see how many pricedrops they both will have this next year and their next slew of exclusives. Im just one killer app away from being swung to either side, so Rare its all up to you! Im gonna start buying old PS2 games I missed out on and if they fit my liking, like God of War, then that might swing me but thats a big maybe.
