Console Wars!!!! (Ps3, Xbox360, Wii)A must read...

[Myrunescape]

helloz theres the Playstation 3 was released today at midnight (Friday...(11/17/06) thats mm/dd/yy)
and there has been several people trampled, robbed, and even a few people SHOT over ths ps3... i stole that question(and modified it a little) from g4tv...
i have also heard stuff such as the ps3 burning disks to where they will never play again... (hummm laser must bee to hot lol) and messed up graphics to not playing on standard def tvs at all...
The only thing i have fact of is that about 200 ps1/ps2 games including final fantasy and a few other WILL NOT play on the ps3...
i have seen the ps3 go up 2 about 20k ($20,000 United States Dollers) on Ebay... The united states only had/has about 114,000 or so( prob a little more) units for the united states for the next days to sell... (most alredy sold!) most places have been emptied by 6in the morning to no later than 1pm ...(mostly eastern time...)

I WILL be getting a ps2 in about early 2008 or 2007/2008 christmas AFTER they have worked all the bugs out... I will probably be getting e Nintendo Wii (formerly the Nintendo Revolution) prob around summer 2007 or a little later...
This christmas i am starting my jump to Next gen (though a little late... lol) with a 360 Pro and some of the latest games lol... (Now i just hope my mom will buy me a 20-28 in high def tv for me for Christmas while I get my dad to get me the console and games lol lol ;D (grinning) lol)
I hope to get a job so I can buy the Wii myself so my parents can save money for the ps3 for the next christmas or sumtin lol lol...
( and yes actual work making actual money) lol...
i sometimes wish i had a paypal account with a real bank account that i could have 2 make money off of ebay myself lol lol lol lol......

But that prob wont happen lol... anyway
i think the xbox is a normal button masher but has great graphics and some SUPERSWEET games just for it... (example the battlefield: bad company with FULLY DESTRUCTIVE ENVIROMENTS!!!! YES EVERYTHING!!!!) lol the ps3 is rank1 in graphics when the game designers take FULL controll of the ps3 capibilitys i believe... and has a nice little controler thats like a weird little joy stick, but is still cool... lol... and the wii... honestly not 2 bad of a name, but yeah not too good of a name either lol ... anyway the graphics ont his little game are just SLIGHTLY better than stander-def, but nothing compared to the ps3/xbox360 ... the controller and how you play games will come into hand here i would like to actually play red steel on that game it look so cool!!!!...

Oh and by the way incase you never reallyed paid attn to Nintendo's consoles if you notised sinde the snes (super nintendo enterainment system) the snes had a round oval controller... n64 had a 3handle controller which was cool... and the gamecube had a cool controler, kinda hard 2 get used 2 if you played the ps2/n64 for ALOT longer lol.. but after an hour you should have it down pat lol...
and now the wii lol...

well ill probably post more thoughts here about the ps3/360/wii... i will repost in a short while with specs of everything... (specs will probably be from gamestop or from their own main sites!!!!...)

well l8r for a few!!!!

Thats a quick overview... ill look for a specifics on the 360's pro and
core models... i do know that the core doesn't contain a harddrive lol...

well enjoy lol...

[Myrunescape]

I myself am a big gamer and have made a few 2d rpg games lol... but sadly i couldent afford the price of the makers i used and therefor when time ran out of trial i couldent finish them or update them if was finished...

If you have any FREE 3d game making software that is cool and good for no coding or VERRY LITTLE coding then please tell me... because i know no oe little C++ and only knew another language or 2, then forgot them... :/ ... well l8r...

[Technical]

Personaly the PlayStation 3 is a huge dissapointment and it is no surprise considering that Sony is up to something pretty sneaky see their not really planning on making the PS3 the "next big gaming system" but they are hoping it to bomb out or sell alot and throw people WAY off the real track, what they are doing is making the ps3 cr@py. The reason for that is, because they hope that the other competing companies would think that's all they got, when in actuality it isn't. They are making a new system and are using ps3 to throw everyone away from the big doings. Cleaver

[Myrunescape]

actually i believe the ps3 is a ickass console when they fix all the glitches lol, but its worthless to me with glitches lol... but if thats true then what could they be making.hummm a new psp with the power of all 3 new consoles in it? (that would kick ass lol) or a super new secret console which they plan to release within the nest 2-4 years? to get a head start on the next generation after this 1??? hummm...lol

Intresting idea though "Technical" lol...

[jarrett]

lol it isnt an idea. Technical is also a corporation employee and his job is technical repair and he dabbles in more then just researching game systems and other technical fields but his reputation is what it is for great reason. He knows what hes talking about.

[xplo00]

HELL YEA i read about the news in my country..WOO hell of a night guys
