hi am trading in a load of games and was wondering...
i have £180 in game vouchers and was wodnering whther to get:
a wii with wii sports
or a 360 core
bearing in mind with the 360 theres supposed to be a pricedrop and its my b day in march so i could possibly get a premium with more stufff...

Two totally different consoles, what sort of gamer are you?
Posted by scottt
Where you hear theres going to be a price drop?
I reckon its pretty good value for money as it is.....
The perfect scenario would be to get both but obviously you cant stretch that far so i say 360 all the way. Wii is good fun yeah but i personally could'nt have it as my main console, online play is a must for me and xbox live is leagues ahead of whateva the wii has, and i reckon the whole way of playing with a wii would wear off FAST.
So get a 360, premium if you can definately better in the long run and works out a hell of a lot cheaper
Posted by spikeyjac
well i like all sorts of games lol have a psp, ds and ps2.
scottt when the ps3 comes out apparently...and cant afford the premium pack atm onli the core which apparently isnt good value

There is not going to be a price drop for at least another 10months!
MS would be nuts to drop the price of the 360 when the PS3 is gonna be alot more expensive anyway!
Posted by procterdc
MS would be wise to reduce the price, the PS3 is an absolute con at £480 or whatever price it is. There have been loads of comparables of screenshots of games between 360 and ps3. To be honest, not that much difference. Xbox is nextgen, no two ways about it, might as well get one thats chaeper, and pretty much does the same thing.
Look at the psp... UMD discs, when they came out they were really expensive, now get down to your local hmv and you'll find UMD films at £5. Sony have a very bad habit of creating products that only can be used with sony products
1) Pro duo cards
2) UMD discs
3) Blu-Ray
4) Betamax
5) Minidisk
With a price tag that high on the PS3, I for one will not be buying one.

But why would they lower the price when it's already gonna be over £100 cheaper than it's main competition?
Posted by spikeyjac
lol peeps do you mind not turning this into a flame war?
just wanted ppls opinions on the 2
Posted by joebmc
Well what would you do? get and 360 for £200 or get ps3 £400 odd when both systems (so far) have pretty much the same games. (although i very much doubt a 360 price drop till at least christmas/new year)
Posted by spikeyjac
yeh i know but i didnt even mention ps3 lol apart from the price drop...lol

sorry
I have a wii, i play it on weekends and thats about it, i do like online games (cod) and wish the wii was online (will be soonish) but from what i've heard and seen (my bro has 360) there online is so much better!
You say you have a psp and ds, i'd say if you play the psp more (games that is) then get a 360, if the ds is more fun to you get a wii.
Posted by spikeyjac
i kno i will eventually get both lol
Posted by Burgaz
Sorry Spikey lol.... But believe me that wasn't a flame war just a lil discussion!

lol noo its fine i like the odd 'lil discussion' but preferably not in my topics lmao
Posted by Burgaz
Fair enough duder... I'd get a 360 but don't for get you'll need a mem card if you can't afford the £70 for the hard drive...
Don't get me wrong the wii does seem like fun but i'm guesing the novelty will wear off!
Posted by Tiny
I was wonderin the exact same question
I heard that you can't play live on the core console, is that true?
Posted by Dale_jeffs
Glad you started this thead spikeyjac! i've be questioning it my self to.
1: Do i get a wii and have alot of fun prancing arround waving a stick.
2: Do i get a 360 so i can have the HD gaming on my HD tv?
but then i'm thinking of gettin the PS3 later on in the year so that will be HD. but its pricey in compaired to the others.
hmmm....?
Posted by mrmilo69
Wait for the better 360 to appear, probably around the same time as Halo 3.
Posted by Xugaa
The PS3 is not a con, there is a reason why it is that price and if you can't afford it don't buy it, as simple as that.
Posted by procterdc
what reason would that be??
Posted by Xugaa
You answered that question in your last post...
Posted by Dale_jeffs
yea i understand why its more expensive. and i could afford it... is it that much better than the 360 though? gaming wise?
I've played on a PS3 and it wasn't really any thing to sing and dance about.... graphics were good but didn't look any better than a 360.
Posted by spikeyjac
i know what u mean dale...i played on one in cex and tbh i thought i was playing a ps2 until my m8 pointed out i wo playin a ps3
Posted by Xugaa
My post was really at procterdc who claimed it was a con. There are obvious reasons for it being more expensive e.g. Bluray, but gaming wise it's not really fair to compare current 360 games with PS3 launch games, baring in mind that the 360's launch games did not meet the 360's potential, same thing with the PS3. Even though this time around the PS3 does have a higher potential than the 360 and this will become more obvious when her flagship titles are finally released.
Posted by spikeyjac
today is the day when i buy one or the other lol but i doubt they will have the wii in stock...
so my question is...
would my best option be to wait and buy a premium from GAME for £300 with some games....
or buy a core today with a game and memory unit and then jus keep adding bits as i go along...also its my b day on march 11th and i could ask for the hard drive and other stuff???
Posted by fatreg
neither,
go retro and get a dreamcast,.
house of the dead 2 is wicked fun and as for crazy taxi?
you cant beat it.
fatreg
Posted by Burgaz
Get the Core now dude! You can easily do without a hard drive for now!
Posted by mrmilo69
Fatreg speaks truth, dreamcast is possibly the best console not to do well. Get one and play shenmue
Posted by Dale_jeffs
yea! i loved my dreamcast! it was the nuts at the time. specially for the money! only thing is mine used to turn off all the while, no mater how many power leads i tried.. god knows what was causing it.
fatreg i have cray taxi on the ps2 aswell
good game
Posted by Xugaa
If you have a Game Station near you, they still sell Dreamcast games and so if that's the route you're going...
Posted by spikeyjac
didnt get a core as the GAME guy said in march there should b some better 360 prmeium deals...so thought id w8
Posted by Tiny
I'd wait till march to see how the ps3 affects the prices of a 360
Posted by spikeyjac
am doing cos its my b day then lol...
also going to try and buy a tv at the same time if i can afford it...
would it be best to get a 15" HD compatible tv or a 20" normal tv?
