Consoles!

Recurring Villain · #1 September 23, 2006, 10:08 PM

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

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.

Chris Britton · #9 September 25, 2006, 2:48 AM

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.

Danny Stewart · #10 September 25, 2006, 5:09 AM

Some things that are delayed are worth waiting for though.

Recurring Villain · #11 September 25, 2006, 5:24 AM

Like the Phantom?

*Cough*

Ross Hendrie · #12 September 25, 2006, 6:50 AM

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

Chris Britton · #13 September 25, 2006, 7:33 AM

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

Jez · #14 September 29, 2006, 7:04 AM

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.

Josef Kenny · #15 September 29, 2006, 3:26 PM

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

Dalek104 · #16 September 29, 2006, 5:42 PM

I vote for everything! Muhahahaha!!!

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

Bajoran Rogue · #17 September 30, 2006, 6:42 AM

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).

Ross Hendrie · #18 September 30, 2006, 7:28 AM

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

Danny Stewart · #19 September 30, 2006, 9:38 PM

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.

Roland T. Blackviser · #20 September 30, 2006, 10:52 PM

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.
