sweet, what games do you have and what systems? im thinking of getting the new nintendo Wii soon, only to play all the old skool games, and some of the new games, my buddy won a ps3 and hated it, he said it wasnt all that great, specially for the price, he says the Xbox360 is much better.he also sent me an article http://www.gamespot.com/featur...pslot about the graphic comparison between the 2, and i did notice abit of stuff, the ps3 had brighter graphics, and at most times, alot of the stuff was blurry, while the 360 wasnt blurry, very clear and everything just looked right.right now I have the ps2 and my pc, which im hoping to get another one some day..either an alienware XLR or a northwest falcon pc...both are well over $5000 though

its unfair to compare the first gen ps3 games to games from xbox360, most likely they were ported from x360 to ps3 which means they were no where near optomized for the ps3's cell processor or memory/video card. Once ps3 has a year on the market and developers learn how to utilized a 7 core proc then you will see differences. I read a article on IGN a while back from a interview with someon at EA i think that said ps3 looked better than x360 for their games they were making. so comparisons will have to wait until both systems have matured and developers know what they are doing. i still think x360 graphics are okay, like gears of war everything is shiney :/ even in the shadows the guys hair shines.any who i got a wii...and its the best thing EVER its so amazingly fun. Oh I play socom3 and combined assault online with ps2 aswell. I also have warcraft 3 for pc.

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 4:08 am

drunkenmaxx · Post by **drunkenmaxx** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 4:11 am

exactamundo. the xbox360 has already been out for a while, so the software has had a chance to evolve more to it's potential. just look at the newer ps2 games and how they are comparable to the early days!

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 4:31 am

ahahhah midnight club 1 for ps2 at launch vs gt4. good comparison of what the ps2 can do after sometime.

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 4:34 am

ya Northvibe, i know one of the DDR's is online..forget which one it is..believe it'sDDR Xtreme or Xtreme 2..

Mavrik · Post by **Mavrik** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 4:48 am

I play Guild Wars Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall online on the PC. I have a pile of PS2 games I also play but none of them online even though I have online games and the modem stuff for the PS2. I want a PS3 but thats in the future when the prices are down... a little, better games and the bugs are worked out.

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 5:29 am

im gonna get both the ps3 when the prices are down..and the nintendo wii for my b-day maybe

Mavrik · Post by **Mavrik** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 5:36 am

The nintendo Wii looks like a lot of fun for parties but for casual playing its to much work for me lol. I like to lie back and play. relaxxxxxxx ya know eh?

Mase · Post by **Mase** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 5:54 am

The only games I've been stuck on the past couple months are Guitar Hero 1 and 2 on PS2.It seemed childish at first but it's actually addictive and fun. Especially battling with friends...fail a song, chug a beer!As expected, things usually go downhill from there.

Actually, the wii is amazing for casual gaming. I too do not have the gaming obession I used to have, but wow nintendo wii = amazing for the casual gaming and its awesome for laying around, cuz you dont have to have your hands on a tiny controller, you can have them relaxed on either side of your legs or what not. And you dont really have to move your arms to play, just your wrist a little , like flicking the wrist. Its just fun getting into the games and running around the room but you deff. dont have too. Actually I just picked up excite truck tonight! and ill prolly get Rayman sometime soon, but Wii play is my next purchase when it comes out

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 9:17 am

i do since i nolonger have my xbow i play PC games Need for Speed Most Wanted, NascarRacing 2003, GTR2, and War Craft .

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 9:31 am

i've also played socom since #1 came out..my current name is BlindDemonas for building my own pc..i've been thinking about it, i'd have to get some money together and build it all....when u get a motherboard..is it already pre-loaded with like windows xp and stuff? or you gotta do that your self?I got tiger woods '07, simcity 4, commandos 3, need for speed most wanted, fear, half life platinum edition, half life 2, and half life 2:episode one...i had abunch of others, like nhl 06, madden 06, and some others but sold them.

coldmm803 · Post by **coldmm803** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 10:55 am

no the motherboard does not contain windows, the board is just a way for all the parts to talk to each other so you would have to purchase an operating system (windows, a new version will be coming out the last weekish of january)if you actually decide to build your own at some point there are a lot of forums online to help you learn a bit about components. i know a handfull of ppl that havent built their own cause they want a warranty, 85%+ of the parts come with a 3 yr warranty standard which is much better than the 90day standard from companies like dell that want you to pay and extra few hundred for more.

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 10:57 am

yea true, i'll have to look into it all..wanna make a gaming system..like the northwest falcon one, 2.5 terabytes of memory..2x 1gb graphics cards, liquid cooled, everything..it's nutshere's a link to a build it your self thing http://www.falcon-nw.com/config/build.asp..after clicking the link..if you click on bragging rights..starting price for one is like $12,000 lol..but just look at the options..not the price..after building my own, it cost me $14,950.59

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 11:01 am

building your own computer is more fun too as far as games go... I played Star Wars: Battlefront online a lil way back when. I've since really gotten into racing games. I really like RPGs but I haven't hardly played any online ones.

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 11:19 am

I'm not a fan of RPG's at all..lol..think the only one i've ever played was FF3 for the super nintendo..im more into the racing and war games..but they gotta be realistic..i find that the more realistic the game is, the more i get into it

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 11:22 am

there are alot better ones out there since then... but to each his own

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 11:52 am

this is the game i want when it comes out http://pc.ign.com/articles/748/748443p1.html

coldmm803 · Post by **coldmm803** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 12:00 pm

holy overpricing, i looked at that falcon northwest link. for the processor the base unit was an x2 4200 (what i have now) and the cost to upgrade to the 4400 is $445 thats 3 times the cost of the chip itself let alone the upgrade from a 4200 the upgrade should be like $50 max. also the ram they offer isnt compatible with that processor. several of the upgrade costs are greater than the cost of the componet itself

Mavrik · Post by **Mavrik** » Fri Dec 08, 2006 4:01 am

Yeah you can't compare FF3 to any of the current RPG games out there.
