Go with a 360. 360 games are much easier to pirate.

I have both.

On one hand, the 360 has like... no games except for Halo and Gears, and they're not even good. I regret buying a 360, actually. And it has paid online, hurr. All of the 360's "best" games are on PC anyway.

PS3 has just as shit community as Xbox Live's but it's free online and actually has some diversity when comparing PS3 exclusives to Xbox 360's.

The Wii is still more fun than both.

Isn't it a bit depressing to play multiplatform games that were obviously designed for the console audience on a PC though?

Wow, a minor console war on the 'dex? Now I've seen everything.

The difference being that compared to a normal one, the argument is which one is shittier, not which on is better. This might be superior if only slightly.
Any way if I would buy one it would probably be a wii, if only for the fact that it has new versions of Mario cart and super smash bros. which I had a blast playing with my friends as a kid. Though they seem to be about the same stuff in newer shinier graphics so why bother?

The ones calling people who dare to want to play multiplayer games, with real friends in the same room instead of random internet people, idiots whose opinions are invalid? Probably something like that. Though I'm not sure what being gay has to do with anything. CONSOLETARDS TARDS TARDS SAYING TARD MAKES ME HIGHBROW NIGGER NIGGER FAGGETS :M :M

What is the point of Blu-Ray higher capacity if you end having to install the damn thing in HDD anyway?

Sony put a Blu-Ray on the PS3 as a Trojan Horse maneuver to make Blu-Ray (that they own) win the HDOD format war, Microsoft that had little to do with that war (besides software, the VC-1 codec to be more exact) never backed HD DVD beyond as external player add-on.

Sonytards like to harp Blu-Ray, forgetting that its only a actual advantage when the PS3 is being used as Media Center and NOT when as a game console were its advantages are rendered moot by technical reasons (slow seeker speed of the drive) and the Xbox 360 offering the same (HDD installation), unless you REALLY have a problem in getting you FAT ASS up and switch the disk.

Yes, these are indeed the people we are calling consoletards. The people who gather round to play FIFA or NBA2K or Gears with their friends for a laugh, not the mouth-breathers who think that Halo 3 is the best game ever, nor the people who buy every single DLC the companies throw at them. No, it's obviously the first category.

I love the fact that playing games alone on PC means you don't have any friends though, it seems that all the money spent on advertising by the console makers were well spent.

Oops I forgot, PC gamers= lonely closet faggots. My mistake. :roll:

Just like with Facebook, if you don't have a console you're the shame of the society and clearly have no friends because the only thing you can do with friends is play games.

I'd watch a Let's Play of Demon Souls before buying a PS3 based on that.

Why? That ruins the whole experience. The game is only fun when you don't know anything about it. The game loses a lot of its charm after the first two play throughs because then you know all the level layouts and monster placements.

I never played Demon's Souls (obviously) but I got the impression from people calling it a "hardcore dungeon crawler" that it was essentially a third-person roguelike. Watched a few hours of an LP and it just looked like a very shallow hack 'n' slasher with inflated difficulty. If the core experience of a game is based on dying and restarting until you know where all the monsters/traps are, what's the point? You may as well play some mega-hard indie platformer if you want trial-and-error gameplay in its purest form. Perhaps I was heavily influenced by unfavourable comparisons to Severence: Blade of Darkness.

The game is hard, but not nearly as hard as many gamers would like you to believe. The games difficulty comes from the cleverly placed monsters, traps and boss fights (no bullshit fake difficulty, if you die it's your own faut and not because the computer cheated). What this means is that if you don't try to play the game like it's Diablo or DMC you won't be dying all the time in the most miserable way possible.

Updating my consoletards.txt. Also making a note: Upon entering an argument with any one of these individuals, push the SMART button to instantly win, ie post "Who cares what you think, you bought a 360/PS3".

A codexer wanting to avoiding arguments by flinging poo? Well I'll never

Actually I thought the SMART analogy would have made it apparent that it was a sarcastic comment. Oh well :M

Yes the Blue-ray only important if you actually use it. Thank you captain fucking retard.

So what are you on of these SD faggots who sit around in the dark and act all angsty becaus your HD-DVD now is a piece of crap or let me guess your one of the millions of 360 halo fanboys who's dick size is directly tied to who ever wins the console war??

Hey faggot stop being poor and grow the fuck up.

I'm not in TX, I'm in UT in a town of 30k people, and no woman's cooch for one hour is worth more money than a fuckin console.

What about PS2 2 player games? I have a PS2.

My parents have a Wii and yeah that is pretty good. I've played the new mario games to death though, esp mario kart.
