Want to buy a gaming system

[rexvos]

Heavily considering an XBox 360. What are the drawbacks of buying this system over some of the newer ones. I am pretty much an idiot about this kind of stuff. My wife wanted to waste money on a Nintendo DS or whatever for my kid, I told her I wanted something I wanted to play too.

Need thoughts and opinions.

Wii's are a blast

I've played it a few times at a friends and had a great time.

And im 20....:ban:

90% of people here have 360's. /arguement

360, but at least make an effort to get online, don't be like certain Canadian people I know. :shifty:

Lucky I love you.

Halo 3 is the only game you will need. :cheers:

Actually Halo 3, Call of Duty 4 and Guitar Hero 3

I actually like Rock Band more than GH. Its the same type of gameplay as GH, but adds the drums, bass, and a microphone.

i have Wii and 360

i can play the Wii nicely since i'm game intolerant and can't keep up with games like Halo. but i love watching my bro play Halo.

both double as DVD players so that's a plus too and you don't have to do the Blue Ray thing.

games are cost effective and there is a good selection of them out already.

I'd say 360 more for you, but if you are looking for more the kids, than Wii but i hope you have a thick TV cause kids tend to throw the remotes a lot, in the direction of the tv.

well i like 360 my only prob with mine and i hope its fixed, IS theres been harware problems i sent mine back twice . This is my 3rd unit now . I do hear tons about Wii and PS3 is starting to get out games now.

Call of Duty 4 beats the hell out of Halo 3 hands down.

[BrownieBites]

360 IMHO is better however... My buddy has had 4 go bad on him and they replaced them all... and my little brother just had 1 go bad on him in perfect timing... right before christmas. if you want more reliability get a wii.

I would say either 360 or PS3. I have a PS3 and love it. I was going to buy a 360 but I have tons of ps and ps2 games and wanted one unit to play them all and PS3 does that. Plus the online play for PS3 is free unlike 360 unless the change it.

I love those 2 systems :)

I remember playing Super Mario World and then on the 64 I was unbeatable with Scott Hall on NWO vs WCW. :)

[oregonweim]

any system you can play Super Techmo Bowl on is a must own ;)

[metallikat87]

i like the wii but i dont play many games at all so i like the wii games i can just pick up and play whenever

[hoosierdaddy]

Call of Duty 4 beats the hell out of Halo 3 hands down.

qft.

I have all the systems. I like the Wii (for fluffy non-relevant games) and the PS3 (for movies in 1080p and more serious games) the best though.

Also, what kind of TV do you have? I would almost get a PS2, Wii, or XBox 360, if you do not have a high end television.

55 in flat screen hi def.

OK, does your television have 1080p? If it does, then I would recommend the PS3. If not, then get XBOX 360 or Wii.

probably not, since I have no clue what that is.. I am going to get the 360 I think... thanks.
