Playstation 3
Again, new here, so have to ask. Just getting a Playstation 3 (haven't had a gaming console before apart from playing on a PC. Do all of the new games get made into PS3 games as well, or just some of them? Do they know in advance if they'll get made into one, or does it just depend? I think Monkey Island is on, and am really hoping that Jurassic Park will be also. Thanks.

I'm just guessing, mind, but given Telltale's track record, it's a pretty good bet.
Wii-Great console. Weakest in graphics, but still can pull off some great looking games(see Super Mario Galaxy, and Twilight Princess) This console uses the wii remote for motion controls, which 3rd party games use to make minigames solely based on shaking it like an idiot. The awesome games are usually from nintendo's first party games. This console is great for kids.
360-IS NOT SHOCKPROOF!!!! That is the true key issue. I have actually had my wii fall off a 3 ft table during a very competative smash bros game and nothing happened at all. The 360 on the other hand, I could just move the thing a cm. and it would flat out destroy the game inside. This console is also what ruined Rareware. This console is more for the people who have both "hardcore" and "casual" gamers with games like the Kinect and CoD on the console.
PS3. Im sorry I do not have this console. I am thinking of getting this though.
Handhelds.
DS series. Has 2 screens one that is a touch screen. Isnt that good on graphics but has been able to pull off great looking games before(Kh recoded the cutscenes where they talked) If this is your first DS then just hold off, the 3ds is probably a better choice
PSP-Once again, Id wait for the new PSP, if it can backtrack games.
But their recent updates did away with these awesome features. I own two Ps3s now...you can find them on ebay.com pretty cheap.
I'd suggest a backwards compatible model off ebay, old thick. Thick has more control , certainly used to, and if you get a backwards compatible most games from ps one and two will play on the ps3...but certain games don't work well on the system.
Also: I don't need Linux on the PS3. Didn't use it when it was still possible, and still don't feel the need to use it now. If I want to play a Scumm-adventure on the TV or projector, I simply hook up my netbook and play away. But most PC-titles play perfectly fine on my desktop PC.
Same here. I bought a PS3 1.5 years ago, and at the time I knew that if it was just for games I would have wanted a 360. Blu-Ray was the only reason I took PS3 instead. But now I think that PS3 is pretty clearly way ahead, and would recommend it to anyone ahead of 360 (unless you cannot go without Halo). The only things I might need a 360 for some day are Banjo-Kazooie, Mass Effect 1 (I'll play this on the PC if I have to but I prefer consoles), Deadly Premonition (not on PS3 in the U.S.)...not sure if anything else.
On the other hand, PS3 has Little Big Planet, Heavy Rain, Uncharted, Infamous (which is incredible), Ratchet & Clank, Telltale, etc.
Plus there is Little Big Planet 2. Which looks like a decent games.
So personally I've a 360 person, but ps3's are good too - and have pretty much every other game, like people have said there aren't many 360-exclusive games
Yes, but the PS3 is like a computer. You used to be able to use it more like one. Now it's just a regular console again. I recommend a old fat model, don't listen to haters, you don't need that much space on your system and they don't run loud like som epople claim that they do.
But I don't really buy a console to do "computer stuff"... that's what you usually have a desktop computer for.
But I do prefer the 360 for its Xbox Live Arcade.
(Plus 360 games generally tend to be cheaper and easier to get a hold off in my experience)
(Then again, I have both consoles, so in the end it doesn't matter to me at all! XD)
Plus I hate not being able to play some of the 360 exclusives.
the PS3 is soooooooo much better... free online, great games, the exclusives are actually games instead of these horrible shooty-brown things... better graphics, pretty much everything eventually gets ported over to the ps3 at some point... oh and not to mention the blueray player ^_^
btw, on a side note, I just finished dragon age origins on the ps3... if you guys havn't played it yet you HAVE to, it is simply the most amazing RPG tolkinian style RPG i've played in years ^_^
I have a 360 and agree with you there in every way, but there are some good features for the 360 like... Banjo Kazooie.
It also has a great feature that breaks any game inside it if it is moved an inch, and Microsoft has a great system with that by not telling you this until it is too late, and the only solution is to buy another copy of the game.
Trying to get games that are either unavailable for PC (Sonic 4, Little Big Planet, NHL 11) or run terribly on my computer (Grand Theft Auto 4).
So yeah, I'd definitely recommend sending it in instead of opening it.
Now if it was a Wii... The disc drive on my Wii had gotten unbearably noisy, so I carefully opened it to see if I could tell where it was coming from. It was already out of warranty anwyay, but it turns out the Wii doesn't have a warranty sticker. I closed it back up with absolutely no visible difference from when I had started and sent it in to be fixed. Of course, that was before I put homebrew on it...
...BLOW YOUR MIND AWAY IN 3D!!!
Right now I'm playing Broken Sword 3, but haven't put much time into gaming lately. Trying to code web sites when I'm not distracted.
