XBox 360, PS3 or Wii?

Anything goes... just keep it clean.

As I stated in the first post of this thread, I want some background to why one is better than the two others. So, please, if you want to contribute to this discussion, at least state why ps3 is better than the others.

Also, I have no problems of keeping the thread open for suggestions, as that would serve in future members who are going to ask the same question. But that requires that the original requirements for replies is still followed, so please everyone who are going to post in this thread, include the the reasons why your console is favourite over the others.

Thank you!


Oh, and here are some comments of XBox 360 after couple of weeks more or less intensive playing:

+ Cheap price when compared to the selection of games available.
+ You can plug external HD to the console, and thus you can for example play music from it while playing. Works also with MP3 players as long as the format of music is supported by the console
+ Achievements. Makes you play the game at least one more time again when without achievements you probably wouldn't

- Some games require HD tv or computer screen to be playable, and there is no mention to it. Such thing happened for example with Dead Rising. Good game, but with normal tv IMO unplayable as you couldn't make any sense from the subtitles, and usually the voice acting was a bit worse than non-understandable.
- The console game with headset which it claimed to be able to be plugged in your controller. Doesn't work, as no sound comes from it. Somewhere is stated that you need a small additional piece of hardware to make it work, but haven't found any, except some IM keyboards for the controller. And not going to buy such thing just for getting the headset work from the controller.

Unless you really need to talk to team mates when playing, I'd not get the headphones. I've only used headsets a handfull of times and am proud to say that each and every time I turned it off in disgust or spent a lot of time hunting down one person to land a bullet in them.

Please everyone, remember -- we can hear you yelling at your Mom and we don't want to hear how awesome you are. If you do either of those or something equally annoying, please don't be surprised if even your own team mates turn on you. :D

Had no warning on the HDTV thing either, could it just be the aspect ratio of your TV?

Well, based on the discussion forums of those games I had problem with, it's HD issue. Or, you can get it work with 37" flat tv, which I don't own. So I'm forced to use my 19" computer screen instead. :rolleyes:
