PSN is offline (so is this thread)

I'm really tempted to get a 360 now.

This is getting ridiculous.

Gamestation are offering very good deals for that at the moment.

Stop trying to bait people into signing a deal with the devil. Desperate times do not always call for desperate measures.

What the hell is this, 2006?

I am trying to encourage him to take the best step of his gaming life, ditching the overpriced behemoth and revel in the sexy 360.

Actually I could say the same about Emma, one of her arguements for disliking the PS3 is the fact that it "has no gaems". Which was the case about five years ago, it's also ironic since the PS3 probably has more games than the 360 at this point. With all the focus on churning out Kinect titles, I feel as though the 360 has abandoned the hardcore gamer. There's Gears of War 3 but that's all I can think of right now, unless that Halo remake is real. But it's always the same franchises, I see nothing new or different.

On that note, Alan Wake is one of the few games that appeal to me. Everything else is typical bald space marine supersoldier fare, designed to cater to the college frat boy mentality that is inherent to the 360 userbase. Sony have made the same retarded mistake too with the Killzone series.

They cost the same now, unless you count the terrible arcade SKU. Also, there is nothing sexy about an anorexic PC from 2006.

But hey, if it red rings on you, you'll have a nice looking Turret from Portal 2.

Wow, I saw this conversation almost word-for-word. In 2007.

People can have their favorite systems, that's fine. Everyone's allowed their own opinion. But c'mon people, stop baiting each other and fighting over "the better console." I'm fortunate to have all three systems and I love them all for different reasons. All have their flaws, sure, but they're by no means gamebreakers.

PS3: Love the console exclusives (of which there are many). I mainly use this system for single-player titles because many of them look beautiful when made specifically for the PS3/PSN and much of the time they have stronger stories than other console exclusives (not all the time, Alan Wake and SH: Shattered Memories come to mind as exceptions relax people ).

360: This is my multiplayer game station, as well as my obviously 360 console-exclusive area. In my experience, when it comes to wireless like I need, the 360 has stronger service for a pretty small price. Doesn't bother me much. And the "red ring" thing is dead now. They fixed it almost completely with the Elites, and then the new 360 Slims or whatever they're called. Yeah, I had mine RRoD on me twice, but guess what? They gave me an Elite for a replacement after that, so I'm not gonna bitch and complain.

Wii: Honestly? I have more Wii games than the other two systems. I'm a motion control guy, and most of my games directly contradict that notion of the Wii being a "kiddy system". Yes, I have my Mario, my Kirby, my Zelda, my Super Smash... but I also have my Silent Hill, my No More Heroes, my Resident Evil, my MadWorld, etc. Who cares if people think it's a kiddy system? As long as it has good games, who gives a crap?

People need to relax.

[Mr. Spencer]

Fuck the Wii.

[TenderRondo]

Fuck the Wii.

I agree.

[Canas Renvall]

Or we can continue with childish quarreling instead of something constructive, that works too.

[Mr. Spencer]

To be honest I don't even take the console war seriously, but that doesn't stop me from fanning the flames and igniting some arguements. By the way, I'm having an issue looked into regarding possible Microsoft involvement in the recent PSN network outage. There's currently no evidence to implicate them but we can't discount the possibility. As soon as we find the individuals responsible, we'll interrogate them for information and hopefully they'll reveal who their real masters are.

At this very moment I suspect that Emma is in a phone call with Steve Ballmer, discussing the success of their corporate sabotage and the use of Anonymous as scapegoats in the whole affair.

[Canas Renvall]

Sir, have you considered the possibility that it may have been Nintendo? With their recent announcement of Project Café, they could be trying to kill off their competition to put themselves in a greater light.

(Super excited for Café by the way )

[Mr. Spencer]

Nintendo are too busy trying to bootlick the family unit to bother with such things.

[Canas Renvall]

Still, I wouldn't discount the possibility just yet. We all know what happened last time Sony got cocky.

[Mr. Spencer]

Mistakes were made, and the people who made those mistakes have been given a very generous "redundancy package".
