Forums - Gaming - Virtual console vs Playstation network vs Xbox live arcade

I would like to know what people think is the best out of the game downloads available from these three services.

Live arcade games: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_Live_Arcade_games#Released_games

PS store games: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_Network_games

VC games: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Virtual_Console_games_%28North_America%29

 

The reason I am starting this thread is that I am getting an xbox 360 when my student loan comes through. The game downloads on the PS3 and the wii have been a big part in owning the consoles. I have downloaded many games on both and I want to see if the 360 can match up to them.

Thanx

VC is the best.



Lets see, VC has Zelda: OoT plus the other Zeldas, Mario 64, Mario Kart, plus tons of other classics, how can anything ever measure up to the VC?



So you are borrowing money and you are willing to pay for onlineservices? You need some basic economics classes and fast. Just get a pc with flashplayer and play 99% of the classic arcade games in flash for free.

Personal opinion is that the 360 has more titles with online play, also achievements for you to challenge yourself wheras the VC has less (but increasing) but better quality. VC edges it for me.

You are obviously not a student are you? we get £1100 every 13 weeks and its almost a crime not to buy something for yourself



vc is the best because you can play the best games in history from the snes, n64, and the best system of all time the nes! live arcade is second. it rocks to get achievements and play games like phantasy star! psn is last. not that many games i'm into except for calling all cars and lemmings.



Damn things have changed since 2009 began. Here are my new visions for the end of the generation.

 

Wii: 135 mil

Ps3: 85 mil

360: 60 mil

I got my md a long time ago. I learned interesting things about the consequences of borrowing money and what those interest rates actually mean. Then again, you probably just turned 18 and have no clue of the value of money. I am sure getting a loan at a very young age will teach you this lesson later on the hard way.

I'm 20, I know money, I have had no loan for the last 2 years, this is my first student loan, the intrest is good, I have a good job (where over the summer when I work full time I will earn enough in 6 weeks to pay of my student loan for the year) and I want a 360. Why the F**k are you trying to ruin it for me, youre being really petty gazz.
