Those are all junk.

Atari 2600 model 1 will ALWAYS own everything out there.

With a monstrous 1.19mhz processor and 128 bytes of RAM onboard, it let you tear through the cavernous 4kb game catridges with ease.

I've got two of the consoles with several paddles and 55 or so games

What the hell have you got against Mario?

stuff consoles - it's gotta be PC every time!!!

I like to think that whoever designed marine life was thinking of it as basically an entertainment medium. That would explain some of the things down there, some of the unearthly biological contraptions

Xbox 360, Play Station 3 or Nintendo Revolution?

Just want to know.

New ps3 looks like a cool machine, ive got an alienware so an xbox seems irrelevant, and sorry if this mortally wounds anyone but I find a lot of nintendo stuff a bit kiddy too. You can only jump so many platforms and collect so many little shiny things in one lifetime without cutting your wrists.

Despite having a top of the line pc and laptop I still like games machines though. Its just well... easier.

And playstation genre games still beat the hell out of most of the others, the sheer choice is staggering next to the other consoles, and generally we get the games the other consoles have anyway.

can i vote for 2 ?

i say the PS3 and the Xbox 360 are two very equally matched consoles.

Back in the game after 4 years out ..

"Let's rename it to crash-box,"

LMAO. It;s microsoft what did you expect. from the creators of the infamous blue screen you expect glitch free wares?

The genre argument is a tough one to crack, and may be applicable to ps versus xbox, but nintendo has an entirely different focus on their games, so it's hard to get away with the argument that the ps exceeds nintendo in games. Sorry, just not true.

Colecovisions are the best.

I've never heard of anyone else talking about Colecovisions before. I had one of those for years and years - I still played it even after I got a Sega Master System (which was, of course, the hottest thing out then). My favourite games were Smurfs, Adventure and Carnival. In fact, I think the thing is still clunking around at my nana's place somewhere, in working condition.

When there's a realistic helicopter flight sim out there for a console, I might take a look. Otherwise, no interest.

And given the dirty tricks Sony have pulled in the music market of late (you mean you haven't heard of their "copy protection software" on music CDs that's one step removed from a virus? Over which they're being sued? in a class action?) I wouldn't touch anything with the Sony name on it now with a 40 foot barge pole. They've flushed their reputation well and truly down the toilet as far as i'm concerned, and all in the name of corporate greed. Oh, the best part about their "copy protection" on their music CDs is that it totally screws up on Sony's own high-end CD players, but a Pioneer CD player will play the same CDs without a hitch ... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA ...

They pulled the same thing on their psp games.

yeah id go with that, their machines are good , but their company ethos sucks. Mind you the way microsoft is going youll have to call a helpline just to activate any game you buy from them soon.It probably wont be free either.

We've got maybe what 6 or 7 gaming systems in the house right now.

Yep back in the day nintendo ruled and then square soft left them for sony. That to me was the end of nintendo. Sure I still own a regular nintendo, super nintendo and yep even their gamecube. Yeah I remember games like chrono trigger, heck I own it. But that was back in the day when a role playing game maker would go to nintendo. Now most of those games come out on the PSII. I have never found so many different neat games for a single playing system since the days of nintendo 15+ years ago.

If you want to talk old school with the consoles I own and enjoy the heck out of an intellivision. It is what I had as a kid, an atari too but intellivision was funner.

So back to the thread at hand, well sure Microsoft is getting a lot of hype, but I look at our dusty xbox and the less than 15 cool games we found in the last few years that we wanted to play on it some of which are available on PSII no less and I know we won't be wasting money on the xbox360. For our playstation II we literally have well over 150 games. The game makers that we prefer and the kind of games we play pretty much stick with Sony so we will be too. Can't wait for my PSIII to come out

and on the note of the nintendo system being backwards compatible if that is true, we might buy one just to save some shelf space and pack up the other 3 systems

Empty chairs at empty tables, the room silent, forlorn.

it wont be able to play the older cartiges. but i'm hearing the gamecube disks are playable, and the older, NES, SNES, possible N64 games will be downloadable to the console from nintendo. still waiting on the price. rumor was around 250 as of late

I think the areas that people enjoy gaming are different so I go for what I liked most about gaming, the online element. I like being able to scream and shout with my friends online, no I am not a Halo supporter, I play other online FPSes any day. So far PS3 has not given any indication of online play support so... I am looking forward to the 360 over here. I hope they don't delay it.

Oh yeah, for the record, Square Enix has moved its support over to the 360 so I think we can be looking forward to some slick FF type games soon.

Well that's just my opinion though...

Oh and to add on, the Revolution is my next console that I would get if I can afford it. They do such great party games. Yeah it might look kiddish but things that are adult aren't much fun anyway.
