    Wow - so much incorrect information here already. I hope no one uses this thread as a definitive source of information. Also, please try to use proper grammar and spell checking (or at least try to spell words correctly) when posting.

    Everything I said was correct, except the part that you can't run XP on a PS3. But then I corrected myself in an ensuing post, with an explanation and a link. :cool:

    Running Xp on a competitors machine...does sounds sketchy esp when i never heard of a 360 doing so.

    And Technically speaking the PS3 is better...the GPU is made by nvidia....ATI makes the 360 GPU unless that changed recently.

    The PS3 has more tech ability than the 360...its games ad blue ray disc can hold more than HD DVD and you have to purchase an external 2 play them anywayz so do the math....http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/hd-dvd3.htm

    The link proves that blue ray is larger...20GB larger :D

    Well done researchers

    Ok look you also need to remember that you cant just run an oprating system like windows on PS3 , , , ,or actualy eany console you need the corect operating system and the operating system must be compatible with the hardware and the system systemstruchture. so lets pick another topic ,:)

    I agree, but we will need more votes to see which console is best.So if you haven't voted, vote now.We will hopefully get an interesting result.

    The problem is everyone is burned out on console threads. They happen every week or 2, and are all very similar. Then when you come in to one and see spelling that is either intentionally done wrong, or written by a 7 year old it is disheartening and discourages further participation in the thread or its poll.

    Frankly, I'm suprised it has 9 votes so far.
  8. hamas123 Newcomer, in training Posts: 499

    Well it's not my fault poeple spell incorrectly so lets carry on.
    Ps:vote in the poll if you haven't already, i am not just saying it to SNGX1275, im saying it to all the viewers who haven't voted.
  9. Myzz617 Newcomer, in training Posts: 382

    Lolz...can we ramble on techically?

    Im just a hardware freak....computers and cars prove hardware power.

    But yea i do my research and it predicts that all 3 systems will have their success....including computers which is not mentioned...possible to add another option poll for PC?

    just a thought
  10. hamas123 Newcomer, in training Posts: 499

    How do you add another option.
    Come on there are more then 13 members in techspot (of course) so vote and we will have an interesting result if more poeple vote.
    Thanks to the poeple who voted!

    You can`t add another poll option.

    Only admins/mods can do that.

    Since this thread was clearly intended to discuss the merits or otherwise of the 3 main consoles, I don`t see any need for a poll edit.

    Regards Howard :)

    wii anyone?

    why hasnt anybody brough wii into the discussion?

    its true, the wii is not much of a stepup from gamecube (Graphically), but at least Nintendo experiments around with different playability to get more people that arent gamers wanting to play it, instead of the traditonal Nintendo Nerds hooked on Mario and Zelda.

    I have a wii and the idea is quite revolutionary, and some of the games are outright fun as hell, even though a lot of its games arent as cracked up as they seem to be. The potential is there at least.

    My friend has Xbox360 and i gotta say the games for it are really good, especially the Halo series, even though i hate the Xbox controls. They made this crazy ping pong game for it with amazing graphics and gameplay, and they made it for the wii too but the comparison didnt measure up since the graphics went way down and they changed the controls from pushing a button to swinging ur arm. Not nearly as realistic as I thought it would be.

    But wait until they make that Free movement Star Wars Game for the Wii. That will be amazing...hopefully.

    In conclusion, I find the most satisfying gaming for the PC (if you have a good system). thats my opinion
  13. Myzz617 Newcomer, in training Posts: 382

    Thanks nissan..i think pc should be added IMO

    but IDK about the Wii its not as versatile as the PS3 or 360

    When i have the money ima own all 3 and a gaming PC...thats the only real way 2 go
  14. hamas123 Newcomer, in training Posts: 499

    Thats why i asked if i could add another option but only mods are allowed to do that so i guess we can't.Anyway this is about consoles.
  15. Myzz617 Newcomer, in training Posts: 382

    Well consoles are becomng more like PC's.

    Anyone who is viewig this own the Elite??

    Im getting it in less than 3 weeks :D...ot excited about paying for the internet tho...thanks to namco not making Ace combat 6 for PS3 I have to budget to buy it sooner lol
  16. glowingnissan07 TechSpot Enthusiast Posts: 109

    what is Elite?



    and if your talking about console comparisons, id say xbox360 is overall the best. The Wii console is a completely different gaming experience, because it is so unlike any other console. Its like comparing Lasertag to Gameboy. Both are fun in their own different ways, like the xbox and the wii.

    But id still vote for xbox jsut cuz they make really good games.
  17. samjohnson Newcomer, in training Posts: 320

    I got to say the wii is better. Its just more fun. My brother-in-law owns one and we play every time I see him. My niece who is 4 yrs old can beat us all at the bowling on that thing. I don't like xbox because of its controls. They are to big. I can't say they don't make good games though. I did play a wrestling game for it that was awesome. The PS3 is just to darn expensive. I am not going to pay $500 for just a gaming console. Sure it can play movies but if I am going to spend that much I would be upgrading my PC.
  18. Myzz617 Newcomer, in training Posts: 382

    Well the Ps3 is more than just worth its price

    Elite=the XBOX 360 Elite FYI, I will own one soon. I cant say much about the Wii because I dont own one and will not buy one. All three consoles have their audiance that they are appealing to.

    Im'a PS fan..and the Poll shows that most people believe in sony even though their marketing strategy seems to not be working all that well.
  19. hamas123 Newcomer, in training Posts: 499

    Good work lads, for the 24 votes(including me), keep it up.
  20. hamas123 Newcomer, in training Posts: 499

    I guess there are quite a bit of Sony fans here eh?
    Mmm....the xbox is creeping up to victory,with the wii right behind and the ps3 approaching the bend.Will the xbox pass, or will the wii knock it out of it's way and start tailgating the ps3 until the next bend...
