I am thinking about getting a new console soon and am undecided on what system to get. I am wondering which is the best PS3, XBox 360, or Wii. I may or may not want to soft mod as well so that may be a factor.
Depends entirely. The PS3 and 360, specifically, are pretty diverse... In terms of exclusives, which is the driving force behind your desired purchase, one has a small selection of incredible games, the other has a much larger collection of not-as-incredible games. They're still incredible, just generally not on the same level as those the PS3 has. Multiplatform titles always work better on the 360, as well. The PS3 has free online, but it's very barebones, while the 360 has Xbox Live - a premium online service, but one with many more features. Personally, I'd suggest a PS3. While XBLA almost always has multiplatform content a week before the PS3, I find the PSN Store itself to be much better than XBLA. For one, there are incredibly unique games that you won't find anywhere else and the whole multiaccount thing means you can download content from any region at any time and still be able to use them on your main account - because of this, many gamers can purchase and download plenty of things they normally can't. Since the 360 is region locked, no such possibility exists on it. I'd say the only real downside is that the PS3 really needs more RPGs... Quite badly, in fact. As for modding and stuff... You can share most games and DLC downloaded from PSN. Which means you can buy stuff and essentially "trade" them for other things. For example, a friend of mine gave me Siren: Blood Curse (normally a £20 game) in return for me sending Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix his way. Since you still keep the game, in this case SSF2THDR, you're basically just getting Siren: Blood Curse for free at no cost. Which, if you ask me, is just as good as softmodding.
I Personally prefffer the 360 because of the many games. I used to like Nintendo, until they released the Wii, that is when they started to release lame games. Now I like 360. But I also like the Pandora (look it up on Wikipedia; I like it because of it's processor <400 mhz for a portable> and it can rub Atari through PSX, plus it's portable) and Onlive ( again look it up on Wikipedia; it only cost 50 dollars a year to buy games and play them directly on the consle). So, those are my choices.
I have a Wii already, but choosing between PS3 or a XBOX 360 i'd really want both but for the games i'd go for the 360 system is cheaper and a whole lot of games that can be bought fairly cheap used only reason I actually want a PS3 for is God of War III and maybe a few others but not enough to justify $500.00
I'm talking about the one with the 160gig Hard Drive and I think Uncharted pack in.or something...its the only one they seem to keep in stock here. Heres a example of the one I am talking about...http://www.walmart.com/Playstation-3-160GB-Console-Uncharted-Fortune/ip/10371108 same price in store.
really? I didn't know that. I'm assuming 2.5 right? is there a limit on the size?...thats alot of questions at once...off topic too, sorry.
I believe its a 2.5" sata, but take it out and look before you order one. I doubt there is a capacity limit.
laptop IDE has 44 pins, desktop IDE has 40, Desktop SATA has 7 pins, so I imagine laptop SATA has considerably less than 44. I've never actually seen a laptop SATA drive though. I'll try to have a look at my PS3 drive
