Yeah mate, surely it'd become financially viable to have just given him a new one as opposed to fixing the old one. Good ol' MS

There again, what can you expect from a company that doesn't bother replying to 99% of customer queries But anyway wouldn't they have enough money after ripping off absolutely everybody with xbox 360 accessories?

Best Gaming Console

What is your favourite gaming console and why?

I have PS2, PC and Nintendo WII for gaming and if im honest the PC is the best.

PS2 graphics and gaming power are limited and while you can buy nice shiny slimline version to fit in even smaller spaces than the non-slimline verison you can't updgrade etc. Good for net play though.

Nintendo WII is alright for the sport packs etc but as soon as you get to the FPS games such as FarCry vengence, there is no cooless to the WII remote other than you get to point it. MUCH easier to use a XBOX 360 for this and NOTE there are wireless controllers for the XBOX 360 which were released before the WII. graphics are not great either

PC what can i say. doesn't have interesting controls such as wireless contorllers etc BUT GRAPHICS AND PROCESSING POWER??? UNMATCHED!!! VERY easy to upgrade build you own ooba gaming machine and to be honset prove the BEST graphics on any console and faster than all the other consoles.

Anyway thats my gripe dont forget to put yours up!!!

I voted 360. Great console. Just to add, its CPU is more powerful than the majority of pcs out there (tri-core 3ghz off the top of my head) but is lacking a bit in terms of ram (500mb) but it doesn't really need as much as a PC.

(BTW did you know there was already a thread on this?)

It's probably a good idea to get them merged. Oh well.

The other thread you mentioned is here:
Which gaming system do you prefer?

I can merge the threads mate, makes more sense than closing this one, I reckon

Threads merged and moved to the Debating Room. Redirects in previous forums will expire in 5 days. I could only keep the poll from one thread, so the people that voted in AYTRIX Technologies' poll will have to vote again here.

If anyone wants anything like this doing in the future, find a mod that's online and we'll gladly do it for you Easiest way to find an online mod: click the TST logo at the to of the page, go to the bottom of the screen and click "Show Forum Leaders"

The Wii has the game graphics as the Gamecube, which probably helped make it cheaper.

You would expect a graphics upgrade for a next gen console, but the Wii is basically a GC with a different box and controllers.

I prefer the PC for FPS games and so on, as I find it easer to aim with a mouse as opposed to the joysticks on a PS2 controller. But then again, I prefer my PS2 for racing games and just about everything else, which is why I haven't voted. Plus the fact that I've only played half of the consoles on the list so can't really give an opinion on the other ones without making assumptions.

I know daveskater, why don't you make it a multiple choice poll if you can . And then, you can vote for PC and PS2, and all the others that are having difficulty choosing one gaming system can vote for both of them.

I'm afraid I can't change it to multiple choice mate, All I can really do is add/change options or close the poll.

I might as well vote for PS2 as I suppose I do prefer it, and the title does ask what do you prefer

Well, I wouldn't necessarily say that the Wii has bad graphics, they're just not as good in comparison to the 360 and PS3 as it's not HD and the other two are. It's not what you'd expect of a next gen console, but I'm sure Nintento's next offering will have HD graphics.
