Game Consoles

Postby Owen » Mon Jun 09, 2008 4:29 pm

So who's got one? I currently have an Xbox 360 which gets played very rarely, but I got a Wii at the weekend, and it's a complete hoot. Most fun I've had in ages :)

I have a PS2 - its is never played, although I must give Tiger Woods a try again sometime, its great.

I got a Nintendo DS for X-Mas, the novelty of brain training wore off quick, I am going to bring it on hols and buy super mario though, so I will be using it again.

I also play a JAVA based MMOG (Massive Multi Online Game) called Runescape, over 8 million people play it, my cheracter is quite good, and I am getting close to breaking into the top 10,000 players!!

I think after you play online with other people its hard (and feels quite boring and lonely) to go back to a console game on you own.

I’ve got a PS3 and a Nintendo Wii

Must say I love Gran Turismo, GTA4 (sorry Bawnee) and Pro Evolution on the PS3, as for the Wii I don’t think there’s better out there than Mario Kart… Fantastic!!!

Anyone with game suggestions?

Just got rid of the 360 for mega money !! didnt use it much these days tho, so im glad it went before the red ring of death.

xbox360 premium with one wireless controller and forza 2....180 quid!! and it was 2 years old lol

Not sure what else to get yet... might just invest in the new iphone 3G instead

Red Ring of Death. The Xbox 360 has 4 lights on the front in the shape of a ring, all 4 are green when things are going well, but if the machine fails (As a lot of the early ones did), they change to red, hence the name Red Ring of Death - it's an allusion to Windows 95's Blue Screen of Death, where the computer would crash, turn the screen blue, and put a bit of error text in white on the screen.

360 at the moment, mostly playing Forza 2 and GTA IV. (insomniac787 on XBL!)
Herself keeps making noises about the Wii, but I know it'll just sit under the telly gathering dust once the novelty has worn off two weeks after I buy it. That said, she does use the DS a fair bit, but I'm trying to hold out until GT5 (Full version ) is released on the PS3 later this year...
