What console do you have? Do you play online?

[TonyN]

Ok guys, just trying to see what the numbers are here.

Feel free to add any comments about what you are playing mostly etc.

You can chose more than one if you have multiple consoles.

I myself am a 360 guy, been offline for a while but I plan on being back online,asap! I miss live

 

[forefortheday]

Just off to buy myself a 360 so i'll see you in the world of geeks soon Mr N!

 

[Imurg]

Just got the PC and the Boys PS2 but don't get to use that often.
I want a WII or a 360 or a PS3 but justifying the cost is hard work.

 

[brendy]

Bugger, only put WII, I play the odd game online on my pc also. Tiger Woods 2009 All play on the wii.

 

[StuartD]

Have a WII and a PS3. Don't play the WII that much and have never played online with both consoles

 

[TonyN]

Imurg, if cost is an issue, The 360 is the way forward, I love it, and at roughly £160 for an online console, it cleary knocks out the PS3 which IMO is only equal in gaming quality but with a much smaller online community!

I am off to the oldmans to swap my (banned 360) for his (not so banned 360) and hope to be back online at some point later in the day. Hmm, also means I have to buy Fifa 09.

Anyone else Fifa online?

 

[brendy]

Tony, how has your 360 been reliability wise?, Id love one as the WII is more a family tool and you cant really get many action games for it and sneek it under the radar.

 

[HarryMonk]

I personally like a good Wii, it is fun for all the family, not played online yet though.

My young lad's got a PS3, but I don't play it much as I'm 37.

 

[medwayjon]

PS3, have no time to play online though

I am 36 and love my 360. Had a PS3 but sold it as just not in the same class as the Xbox and a real disappointment. I have a Wii but only really comes out when relatives are round.

Off to buy a copy of Streetfighter 4 this afternoon.

Brendy, I have had an issue or 2, but nothing Microsoft didnt sort in a flash.

I have had mine for about 4 years now maybe so I think it was the second batch to be released (could be wrong) and they still had teething problems. I got the old 'ring of death' but after 1 phone call to Microsoft (which was free) they had UPS on the way to pick it up from my doorstep, they had it for 1 week and UPS delivered it right back to my door step. They gave me 3 months free xbox live to compensate me for being offline for a week.

Best part of it was, my warrenty had expired, but they honoured it anyway because they ackowledged it was a problem they hadn't rectified before they went onsale. They also extended the warrenty for a further 3 months.

Not entireley sure but I think (rumour has it) they actually extended everyones 12 month warrenty to a 3 year one. But dont quote me. I love Microsoft, and I love my 360!

 

[dangermouse]

I have a Wii I bought for the missus, but dont play online as it is only good for having a laugh with friends.

Also have a PS3 I use online - Tiger, COD etc

Used to have a 360, but after my 3rd one broke, got really fed up with it and threw it away. I miss Gears of War, but everything else is just as good on the PS3 (and its mega-handy for BluRay, Dark Knight is one of the best things I've ever seen on BluRay, its visually fantastic)

 

[nmartyn]

the 360 doesn't compare to the PS3!
games power, Blu Ray player, free online play....PS3 has it all! you'd pay £300 for a decent Blu Ray player alone and the PS3's is top notch.

My young lad's got a PS3, but I don't play it much as I'm 37.

Hey i'm 47 and i play my 360 all the time age is no barrier do what you want if you enjoy it

 

[DCB]

What's a Console ?

 

[medwayjon]

PS3 is better games quality and doubles up as a blueray so thats job done for me.

I wouldnt have a 360 out of principle as microsoft are monopolising meglomaniacs and it is under great pains that I use XP Pro and Vista.

 

[GB72]

PS3 is getting better now but for the last couple of years it has lacked in great games and the multi format titles were better on the 360. Not so worried about a blu ray player as discs still too expensive and not convinced it will catch on.

Also not a fan of the PS3 controller, xbox one better for my big hands.

 

[Cernunnos]

Not yet invested in a PS3 as I still use the PS2, so had to vote other as its the PS2 & PSP I use. Don't see the point of online gaming when I can play everything from disk or hard drive on PC.
