Markymark2 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2007 I think like xbox I am a big xbox fan <_<My son has an old xbox with an 80gig hd in it, Ive kinda pimped it up into a Linux media center also.He can play and dvd,avi,mpeg,divx,xvid,mov etc on it and go on the internet (we did have to take it apart and solder a USB connecter into the front of it though) with a keyboard and mouse. I even got hold of an xbox VGA convertor so he has it hooked up to a flatpanel at a nice rez and refresh rate;))But saying all that..my son does like the look of the Wii and it seems to be pretty powerfull and versatile, but i think he likes the controllers more than anything.But I think I am still going to steer him into getting a xbox 360 for Christmas!! I really like the look of the 360 and its specs are pretty amazing for the price you pay for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, modding will no longer be easy at all, as far as I know, there are very few stores that modify the XBOX 360.xboxrulz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trinifawk 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 The best way to find a Wii for the $250 that it usually sells at (with only the bare essentials) is to go to a gaming store in the mall... They seem to have some in stock on some days, and other times they're totally out. Right now, if you're looking for a Wii, there's one at Buy.com selling for $451 after shipping, but that's for a bundle. I am very interested in exploring the capabilities of the 'modern' gaming systems, but the high price tag is turning me away. I wonder what the ps3 can do? hehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xboxrulz1405241485 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 PS3 is just essentially a Bluray player that costs $700 w/ a 60 GB HDD, powerful Cell processor that can't play any good games yet. Hence it's nickname, the Waitstation 3.xboxrulz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
