In this thread, get the Elite. Apparently the old ones are prone to die. Ive had my Elite since August and Ive had no problems with it, tbh £30 extra was worth it, bigger harddrive etc, although I cant see how youd need that much of a harddrive..

If it helps, when I got the X360 Elite, I got a 35% discount on Gears of War.

It's about the creation of the enigma machine in the second world war, and it's turning mechanism is Gear-Based, hence the name.

Isn't it awful? I've run out of creative ideas for them. I'll make a coffee table of them now I suppose.

Let's compile our PS3's, roll them into a giant ball and launch it into outer space, like in Futurama!

I think that would collapse the universe. I don't think that much consolidated fail can be accumulated in one place like that.

Wii's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
the morning sony clouds up my vidya and I can't play at all
And even if I could it'd all be bloom, but your PS2 on my shelf
it reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

The stats are there (on paper) for it to be the best console out, but it's just fucking shit. The majority of the PS3 community are an absolute joke.

Yeah, Sony lost their sales killing spree due to the PS3. There's a few fanatics in my college always preaching the PS3, "PS3 is king! UT3 is the bomb!" etc. Good thing most of my college are sensible gamers and don't listen to their bullshit.

Wii = Mario Galaxy, some show on TV rated it as game of 2007

Also Wii is still number #1 Xmas present for 2 years, + sells more than any other console - Woo!

Because Wii appeals to the "casual gamer" who's idea of gaming is 10 minutes of Animal Crossing a week.

Yup, and I guess the others appeal to people who never leave their rooms or something?

No, the others appeal to people who are not old or rabid Mario fans.

Battalion Wars 2
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3
Far Cry Vengeance
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
Lego Star wars
Mario Party 8
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon
And fav's are Red Steel and Legend of Zelda, plus Metroid (Which aren't kiddy lol)[/quote]

I used to believe that too.
There are only 4 good games on that list.
LOZ, Metroid, Battalion Wars (Which isn't released), and DBZ:BT3 (Which also isn't released yet.)
Also, Red Steel is a favourite of yours? WHAT

DBZ is? O-o Well it's very soon then right? :/ i got on PS2 anyway - Yeah Red Steel is ok? O-o, Twilight princess still best game on Wii so far, it came out with the Wii which made it sell so fast when it was first released lol.

Red Steel is ace, but the others I wouldn't spend my time on/rather play on the X360.
