Question

should i get a ps3 xbox 360 wii or a psp

Answer 1

The PS3 plays full 1080p hi-definition wheras the Xbox just upscales the image. The internet gaming is free for the PS3 so over 5 years that's £200/$270 saved compared to Xbox live. If you like online play there's Warhawk and Unreal Tournament 3 is coming out. Also the Playstation Network has Little Big Planet and Home coming to it.

Blu-ray discs mean that more can be stored on PS3 games allowing them to be bigger. An Xbox DVD holds about 8GB but a single layer Blu-ray disc holds 25GB and a dual layer holds 50GB yet a 360 game costs the same as a PS3 game. Grand Theft Auto 4 may have to be put on multiple discs for the 360 because they're smaller and you might not like having to get up to change the disc. The PS3 is a very cheap Blu-ray player while you have to buy a £120/$200 add-on to play HD-DVD movies.

The PS3 has been out a year less than the 360 and it's graphics are already equalling or bettering those on the 360. As the developers become better at developing games for the PS3 the gap will only widen. As far as games go most of the better games for the Xbox are either multi-platform or going to come out for the PC at some point like Gears of War and Halo 1 & 2 already have. The PS3 has Uncharted, Killzone 2, Haze, MGS4, Final Fantasy XIII, Ratchet and Clank, and God of War 3 as well as the multi-platform titles like Call of Duty 4. Finally the PS3 has much better hardware than the Xbox which has massive 30% failure rate.

The Xbox's strengths are that it's cheaper (but I don't think it is in the long run) and Xbox live is probably better (but you have to pay).

The original Xbox only had a lifespan of 4 years and with the 360's problems it may only last another 2-3. The PS2 had a lifespan of 6 years and the PS3 is planned to last 7-10 years. All PS3 controllers are rechargeable, you just connect them to the USB port to charge, but you have to buy a rechargeable battery pack if you don't want to use AA batteries for the 360 pad. The PS3 is the most value for money as all models have a hard drive, a HDMI port, and Wi-fi built in but for the 360 you have to pay more in some way or another for these features.

The Wii doesn't seem to have a lot of really good single player games, although Zelda and Mario Galaxy are meant to be good, there just isn't that many apart from those. If you are a casual or non-gamer and like playing with your non-gamer friends then Wii is probably the better choice as it has a lot of mini-game compilations and good multi-player. However, it is not very powerful and there are certain games on Xbox 360 and PS3 that the Wii just couldn't handle, like Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty 4. Also the Wii is lacking other features like a hard drive and it doesn't support HDTV. It also does not offer much in the way of online gaming.

If you are just looking for a home console I wouldn't advise you to get the PSP, but if you are a commuter or interested in portable gaming then you should go for it. It can play movies and songs and it's wi-fi connection allows you to play some games over the internet. It has some really good games like Final Fantasy Tactics, Daxter, Killzone: Liberation, MGS: Portable Ops, and Loco Roco.

I think your personal preference for the games on each system should be what you base your decision on but I'd go for a PS3.

Answer 2

I would go for a 360...if you are that concerned with the freezing of the PS3s. However, I do know several people who own PS3s, and they have had nothing but great things to say about them so far. I helped my best friend buy an 80 gig about a year ago and he is still thrilled with it, has not had any issues whatsoever My boyfriend and all of my friends are pretty big gamers, I myself mainly watch and learn but I do know a fair bit about it, so I guess if you want to take any advice I have to offer just take into account that I am not a "serious" gamer. My boyfriend actually just updated to an XBOX 360 as well, he previously owned an original XBOX and a PS2, and he loves that as well. Resident Evil 5 is amazing on it :) With your taste in games I would definetely rule out a Wii, and as for the PSP, I bought somone one for their birthday a year ago and he LOVED it... for about the first 4 months. Then it kind of died, it won't charge and is unuseable. He has not been able to get it fixed, and to be frank it caused him a lot of grief for a while. If you like playing with friends or your girlfriend you should take into account also that the 360 has many more multiplayer and co-op games available than pretty much all other consoles. On the other end of the spectrum if you buy an 80 gig PS3, which is fully backwards compatable, you can continue playing your favorite PS2 games all on one console (The 160 gig, however, is no longer backwards compatable, and the 360 is only backwards compatable with some games, strangely). I hope my answer helped you and narrowed down your search some, and good luck to you!

Answer 3

Wii most definately. Unless you need to see every hair in someone's eyebrows, you'll have a ton of fun with the Wii. With games like Super Mario Galaxy, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3, COD with motion controls etc. Anyway, your choice, 360 is also good.

Answer 4

Depends on what type of games you like. If you like shoot-em-up and action games..PS3, Xbox 360, PSP.. If you like fun adventure games or party games..get the Wii.
