Consoles!
 

EDIT: I'd add "own" options to the poll but then it would become like a superlong mutant megapoll. So if you own one of the above, just select "want". Or better still...

I only just discovered this subforum, so for the sake of making a topic I'm going to make a topic about...

CONSOLES!

So which ones do you own, which ones do you like or hate, plan to buy, etc...

I'm the proud owner of an Xbox360. It's my baby.

I might buy a Wii if it turns out to be as awesome as it seems it will and I somehow come across a somewhat large inheritance.

I don't like Sony. They lie too much methinks.

Giant enemy crabs!

Fully decked out PC for me! That's it.

Fully capable PC, and an Xbox 360, the PS3 has broken my heart

The PS3 has broken many hearts :(

</3

PS3 all the way for me. Microsoft get enough of my less-hard-earned money with my PC. ;)

That said, I want a fully decked out PC too (even more than a PS3). And I'll probably buy a PS3 simply for the final Metal Gear Solid game...and the next two Gran Turismos. ;)

PC pwns all consoles though. :)

Indeed, PC does pwn all consoles. And I don't like Microsoft getting my money either. :)

Problem is, it's somewhat difficult to play games on Linux. At least, fairly recent ones.

Otherwise I'm quite sure a good portion more pople (including me) would use it.

Advances are being made in that regard. Cedega grows more viable every time they release a new version, and Windows virtualization is starting to work for things like that too.

I just want an XBox because of all these PS3 delays, the high price of a PS3, and the remarkable fact that things constantly delayed tend to be crap.

Some things that are delayed are worth waiting for though.

Like the Phantom?

*Cough*

I own a fully-decked out PC myself. I want a PS3 though, despite it's many misgivings.

I am quite happy with a PSP at the moment, i just learned how to convert DVD files to play on there, i current have some red dwarf episodes :)

I won't buy a PS3 until about a year after its release. It'll be cheaper and will most likely come with the next Gran Turismo because Sony like doing that, lol.

I want a Wii because I want to experience it! PC for general games, Wii for crazy experemental games! And I like Red Steel.

I vote for everything! Muhahahaha!!!

:P
Seriously, if I had a choice between Xbox 360 and PS3, I think I'd choose Microsoft's nice, sleak modern console. :)

WWWWWWWWWWhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously though, I'm getting the Wii because its offering new ways to play the games with the Wii-mote. Not saying that the other consoles are worse, they're just taking a different, more traditional approach.

I'll still probably wait and see if the Wii will go down in price before getting one, despite it being the cheapest of the new consoles (another thing in its favour).

Yeah I think the Wii would be interesting to play. But I dont know if the Wii-mote will be to my liking.

I'm interested in trying out a Wii but I still doubt I'm ever going to own a real console. Upgrading my PC is my top priority.

I am starting to feel that I should spend less of my money on Video games, but at the same time, I am interested in wii. My compromise is to wait till it drops in price. The truth is, I love video games more than most people, but I feel there are still so many games for the systems I already own that deserve to be played, enjoyed, and beaten.

In any case, Wii will have Zelda. Twilight Princess will be coming out for G-cube, but eventually there will be others. And they call to me. What's that, Zelda games? You want me to kill? Well, since it's you asking, I will.

A rather expensive priority, though.

You love games more than people? Oh noes!

:D

Oh ho! You sir, are a wit! No, I am not opposed to people in theory. Just when they stop me enjoying my games.

As a matter of fact, I'm in the process of spending $1200 on a major upgrade. New case (Cooler Master Mystique), new PSU (650W), new motherboard (ASUS), new CPU (Intel Core 2 Duo), new memory (2 GB, to be upgraded to 4 GB when funds allow), new video card (NVIDIA GeForce 7900GT with hopes for a second card via SLI, again when funds allow), and new sound card (Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty). Nice, huh? :D

Agreed. :D

That's $1608.60 in AUD.

That's 2.5 times as much as I payed for my Xbox360 and 2 times as much as I payed for my Xbox360, home theatre, VGA Cable and 21" crt monitor alltogether (and these are at ripoff Australian prices, too).


That's 2 times the PS3's US price, 4.8 times the Nintendo Wii's US price, and about 40 times how much money I have on me.

And computers are a ripoff here as well :(. I have to fund WMD development, enslave peasants and bring about the complete and total annihilation of good with this $40.

I find it worth it. It does a lot more for me than just games.

Well, I guess there's porn.

:D Amirite?

Porn, while a valid use of computing technology, certainly does not place great demand on system resources. I was in fact referring to my music making and video editing skills. :P

Editing porn videos and making porn music?

Damn, you got me. I just love making that porn music. :P

How the hell can you have porn music?? :P

Through quantum physics.

I guess it might be that kind of 70's funk music maybe. No idea.

EDIT: Wow, RV, you posted that at exactly the same time as me.

Likewise you posted about 700 times in 3 seconds.

I guess you can do that with such an in-depth knowledge of quantum physics and porn music.

It's a lethal combination, you know.

Some Saxophone and some "Sexophone"....erm, groans and "ooh"s. Perhaps an electric piano too. :P ;)

I just had a great idea! Unfortunately, it involves me doing stuff in WaveLab and FLStudio so I can't be arsed. I'll just do it all in WaveLab....I might get back to you soon.... (even if it will be completely OT. The thought alone made me laugh aloud so I must do it :D)

Ok Smartarse, i will stick to quantam physics

Ooh, you use FL Studio, do you Jez? That's my music software of choice. :D

Me too ^_^

Yeah. I'm slowly "updating" to version 6. Sytrus 2 is awesome and I've been playing around with Wasp XT, which is just as good (certainly much better than Wasp). ;)

I've fiddled with Reason but it's too detailed for me to do anything quickly on it at the moment. I'll be taught how to use it in a year's time at Uni (would have been this year but I took a year out). My friend, who is a DJ and producer, used to use FLStudio but now he swears by Reason and recommended it to me (although he understands my reasons for not using it).

That idea I had involved a load of Metallica sound clips and perhaps some longer instrumental selections from their songs but I can't be arsed to do it at the moment. I'm currently 32/40 hours through my working week and am really tired so I might give it a shot over the weekend (unless my 40 hour week turns to 48....).

Hehe, sounds good to me. I may check out Reason now that you've mentioned it and your formerly-FL-using friend now swears by it.
