Gnizmo on 23 August 2009

Since when did the Wii no longer have free online play? Seems weird to list it for the one console and not the other.

Of course a feature comparison like this is useless anyways. I am not going to buy a system because it has free online, a huge hard drive, or any of that other non-sense. I am going to buy it for games I like to play. Once enough games I want to buy are released, then I will pick-up the system. Until then there is no point.

Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

I would go for the Wii. The 360 Arcade would be my second choice.

its a tough choice but after having a good think about it, ive seem to have settled on a PS3 slim as the best console

Lost_Soul on 23 August 2009

well that's easy..

The PS3 slim, it has it all:

-The most  and best exclusive's

-You don't have to pay 60 € a year to play online. (and believe me live isn't better then PSN)

-You don't have to pay for a adapter to connect wirelless internet

-Blu Ray

-And i found the 360 controller impossible to play with..

That's an easy one for me :)

I have a 20 GB Xbox360 and a Wii
I'm going to get 299 Xbox 360 Elite... and get rid of my 20GB pro.

But I think I'll wait for next year After Natal Launched.

PS3 Slim does look good, if not for Xbox360 I'd get one :)

PlayStation 3 Slim of course. Blu Ray is sooooo nice and the Games LineUp is awesome(2009/2010). The price is awesome too.



the best RPG's are coming 2013 !!!! oh my god, this is perfect for RPG-GAMER = ) Ni No Kuni - 25 january, Time and Eternity, tales of xillia (PS3) and the maybe best game ever: metal gear solid ground zero

Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

ps3 of course blu-ray player enough said

Since I already have a PS3 80 gig, I will go with the Wii, since SMG, LoZ:TP and MP:T seem to me much better than the 360's offerings.

But if I didn't have a console, I would've still gone with the PS3, since it has MGS4.



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.
