What Gaming Console Do You Use?

[carocaniac]

For the gamers out there, what gaming console do you prefer and why?

 

[Hardcore]

At the moment PS2 because it's all that I have. I'm looking into picking up a PS3 soon. But I'll never get rid of my PS2.

 

[Cyrann]

PS3 hands down... no questions asked.

While I no longer play games (the occasional Madden or Tiger Woods) the PS3 truly is an all around media device:

Blu-ray - with the right TV is a godsend!
Upconverting DVDs
Steaming Media
Movie Rental/Purchase
Storage for videos, pictures, music
HDMI and 1080p output
Linux OS if desired
Upgradeable Hard Drive
Free Online / Achievements / Messaging
Folding @ Home
Home
RedKawa
Connectivity to PS2 games and PSP
Browser
Bluetooth keyboard and Head set
Wireless SIXAXIS controllers

And many more...

Wii for me!
Because that's what we got the kids for Christmas last year...

I play some on my PC and I have a PS2. It is funny. My Daughter was born in 2004. All of my games are EA sports games and they are all 2004 editions. You can tell when my life got a little hectic.

My wife and I have decided that this year we are going to get a Wii as the main gift for the family so I should have a Wii for 2010.

Left 4 Dead on 360 is where it's at!!!

 

[n.olson]

i take it you mean the 360 when you posted the xbox??

 

[bigbwalls]

I own both a PS3 and an Xbox 360.

For gaming, I prefer the Xbox 360 because I like online games and their online service is great.

For watching movies I use the PS3 because I love Blu-ray.

 

[cashedash]

PS2 all the way. It has comfortable controllers that are very standard/universal. Not HD but you can get as high definition as you want you can not fool me I still know it is only 2D. And unless you are watching movies it doesn't matter gaming graphics do not compare to movies. And HD is way too dam expensive. It is classic affordable and portable. I have never played online so I can not say anything about that.

I said PS2, but that's because it's what I have. I'm sure my next consol will be a Wii. I could use some extra movement.

 

[VirginIslander]

Have 360 and Wii. Prolly get a PS3 before too long. Gran Turismo 5 is calling my name....

 

[njstone]

PS3 id is "Jedipastor" -- add me as a friend!

I also play a lot of World of Warcraft on my MacBook Pro

 

[CaTeacher]

Have a 360 and a Wii. 360 is prefered as I'm a Halo 3 fan.

 

[agctribefan]

I have all those systems. I prefer the 360 the most because of xbox live and Halo 3. PS3 is a close second mainly because it is a blu ray player. Games go down in price quicker on the ps3 too. The wii was great when I first got it, but it has lost its appeal. The controller really is not great for regular games. And the graphics are no better than the GameCube. Wii Sports is great though.

X Box, PS3, Wii, and PC for me.

The PS3 is used for Blue Ray
The Wii was a gift for the wife last year
The X Box is for NCAA Football 2010, and Madden 2010
The PC is for EQ2 when I have the time

 

[VillageIdiot]

I have a PS2 that I've had for years. The only game that is played on it is Godzilla Save the Earth. My son loves Godzilla. He won't actually play it though. He just wants to watch me play it.

 

[WkndSmoker]

I prefer the PS3 as my DVD player died about the time I was in the market for a game system, so the blue ray thing worked out, it is nice, but not that much into it to really take advantage of the difference in movie quality. As for gaming, love the PS controller over the XBOX controller, and I still hope magically the Gran Turismo franchise will come around one day and be as great as it once when they launched Gran Turismo 2, my favorite of the series.

All this is nice though when it is working, my PS3 went on the fritz a few weeks ago and the disc drive will not read, way out of warranty so I have to get it fixed at some point, prob will stay on the backburner until Football season is over!

When it was working I could be found playing:

NCAA College Football
Tiger Woods Golf
Grand Theft Auto 4
Ghostbusters


Fun poll!

Wknd.

Retro Duo.....

Plays all my old NES and SNES cartridges... ha ha ha... It sits right next to my Atari 2600 (and the 200+ carts I have for that old thing)

Call me old school... that's how I roll!

 

[Boosted]

I have a 360 and a PS3. I got the 360 because I use to play xbox live so much for the regular xbox. To me, you can't beat xbox live. Especially, if you play Project Gotham Racing, Spliter Cell, or Halo.

The only reason I got a PS3 was for the Blur-ray, and at the deal I got it for I couldn't pass it up. The PS3 is fantastic for all the media options.

Wii for me its mindless and gives me a little workout.
