First off, I'd prefer this to stay here and not moved to News because the real reason I'm posting this is to get a feel for what next gen console would be the best choice for me (um, and Iz, of course).
QUOTE Hope Fades for PS3 as a Comeback Player In Battle of the Game Consoles, Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Xbox Widen Leads Over Sony's PlayStation By DAISUKE WAKABAYASHI TOKYO -- For most of this year, Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 3 videogame console seemed finally to be taking off after a slow start. The PS3, trailing Nintendo Co.'s Wii and Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox 360 consoles, was closing in on the No. 2 Xbox 360, with new games and quarterly sales growth at twice the speed of last year. But early results from this holiday season aren't promising. U.S. sales of the PS3 fell 19% last month from a year earlier, while sales doubled for the Wii console and rose 8% for the Xbox 360, according to research firm NPD. Analysts say they expect PS3 sales for this month to be flat or lower than last year, while sales for its rivals are likely to rise. And Sony may not reach its goal of selling 10 million PS3 consoles in the fiscal year through March, analysts say. ... more here Last year (2008, so almost last year) was a very financially straining year, so I decided to wait until I receive my tax returns to get a new console. I had my mind on a Wii for a while, but after visiting a friend who has a 360, I'm sort of conflicted now. Then I had read a few comments on Amazon (I was browsing through some games) and a few reviewers were singing PS3 praises and I became even more conflicted. I'm sure many of you have one (if not more than one) of these, so I was hoping that people might find a bit of time to give me their take. Also, does a potential financial fallout have much of an impact? I mean, I'd hate to spend so much money on something that will possibly be obsolete in the near future. Maybe "obsolete" isn't the best word to use, but I'm not sure how else to phrase it. I swear, I'm not always so cautious when it comes to game related purchases. I bought the PS2, Gamecube and Xbox without much thought. It's just that the new equipment seems like more of an investment as a whole. If you could be specific as to why/if you have a preference, that would be great. :) |

Proven over and over? Lmao, give me a f*cking break you ugly piece of steroid shit. All these statements and nothing to back it up. If you want to keep sucking sony's dick, go ahead, but its idiots like you why Sony won't stop lying to their consumers, in the end, your nothing but a f*cking whore that loves to get beat by your tranny pimp. So go ahead, keep up with the insults, id be mad at the world too if my dick was as small as yours. Ok... so you want to debate this. Since you made the claim that YLOD has NOTHING to do with the HDD. Prove your case. You made the claim, now I'm all.. uh eyes. Go ahead prove your shit. I'm gonna tear your shit the f*ck down you f*ckin cum drinkin, scrawny bitch.. |

Ok prove your case. Apparently you forgot about the red blinking light that would show a totally different error at hand.

If it over heats, it freezes (which is bad) or it simply shuts down (which is better than freezing).

Anyway, based upon what I've read online the yellow light could represent a variety of problems.
Anyway, The Jasper edition of the XBOX360 doesn't red ring. It's immune. That's why the Resident Evil 5 Ed. XBOX360s sell so well. |

Just to point something out. The 2 latest gens of consoles, including this one, had the weakest hardware console winning by a landslide and the most powerful got their ass raped. So all you graphic junkies can suck a dick

So all you graphic junkies can suck a dick It's true, the wii is the bitch's console, and yet it continues to trample the rest of the consoles on the market in terms of sales. Gen1: PS1/DC/N64 - PS1 Gen2: PS2/XBOX/GC - PS2 Gen3: PS3/XBOX360/Wii - Wii |

I fully respect the Wii. It's not so much for a hardcore gamer but majority of their games are fun, imo.

The Wii confuses me. I can't get used to the controls.

Wii is just a tranny, doesn't know what it wants to be. Can't decide whether its casual or hardcore. Even with the likes of Super Mario Galaxy and Smash, people will still buy more WiiFit

These idiots just eat up their bullshit without thinking twice. It makes sense, though. Idiots know what idiots will believe. Sony just spews bullshit non stop. It's all so hilarious! I don't see how anyone couldn't see past it. Click here. This is exactly why they're losing the console race. They're stupid, arrogant, and don't care about their consumers. I remember good ol' Krazy Ken Kutaragi saying "We don't care. People will buy anything that has 'Sony' branded on it." It's ridiculous, and that's why I hate Sony. Anyone who follows them is basically accepting their ass rape.

I find that EGM is probably the best Gaming Magazine around. The articles are both entertaining and informative. It's the Maxim magazine of the gaming world. However, it would be a better magazine if "Francesca Reyes" editor in chief of the "Official Dreamcast Magazine" (IMO: the most hilarious gaming magazine of all time) would take it over.

Yup I totally agree. They were the best. Really great, smart, entertaining journalists. I was sad to see it go.
