OK I think I know the answer to that big-will.

It depends on the title. But it seems lots of games that were on 360 and ported over to PS3 have been better on 360. Ones originally meant for PS3 have been almost the same. And as times goes on, PS3 should be looking better. So I have been led to believe.

I was looking at some of those games last night. 49.99 some of them are. That's just shocking. It must be rather expensive being a parent these days!

That's like well over 10,000 yen in Japan terms.

Bet you don't pay that much for new games!!?

If anyone needs advice on a console to choose, I am a console junkie since electronics are my hobby. I would say that the wii and 360 are clear winners in choice for game console picks for reasons I cant explain on the fourms.

why? is it that ground breaking? or is it that the components speak for themselves?

I remember quite a few posts from Mr Ryan. They were also seemingly confused and not easily understood!

The word "NUTTER" comes to mind. (When talking about the PS3 of course. And nuts).

So around 20-30 pounds then.

The Will Ware thing gets launched today... like the wii version of xbox live arcade, downloadable small games. Will be interesting to see what gets developed for that.

Are they going to release some sort of hdd for the wii? There's hardly any memory in the machine, you've got to think it is a mistake to have so little when they are now starting this as well as the virtual console.

don't think it's for the wii fit. it has archery, curling, beach volleyball, cartracing and some other sports.

family ski seems fun for the wiifit though.

It does though as you might expect with Nintendo, a bit cartoony/childish.

Have you seen the little platic wheel thing they're bundling with that?

Always been a fun game though that, well the series.

The wii and 360 have been hacked in the past. The ps3 has not.
So essentially you could play copied games on the wii and 360 for the price of a dvd-r (for the wii) or a dvd-r Dual layer (for the 360), but not the ps3 as it has a blue ray player in it and even if it could play backed-up games, it would cost a fortune for the blue ray burner and discs.

I work on wii`s and the 360 along with other consoles.
The wii is good for family fun, but more serious gamers would choose the 360 for the amount of titles available and graphics power.
