Which games console should I get?

I'm considering getting either a PS3 or Xbox 360 in addition to my Wii. Which would you recommend?

You'll get an xbox

WTF...3 votes for PS3 already.

PS3 because I have one.

Seriously, though, I'm not sure of the XBox's capabilities, but the PS3 does a good job of being a upnp media client.

i trust youre familiar with each platforms exclusives?

Only vaguely. I don't think there are any so appealing that it'd swing it for me, unless you can recommend any?

depends what you like playing, really. also, 95% of the best games are multiformat, anyway and if you have a decent pc for gaming, stuff like kotor and mass effect which i would recommend on xbox, are on pc as well.

tough call, tbh. are you only going to be using it for gaming? i dont think the ps3 is bad value if youre going to make use of its other features, but if you only want a machine to play games on, the xbox is much better value.

Yeah, just games. Cheers. What makes the Xbox more appealing to me is the lower price and that most of my friends have one rather than a PS3.

This probably doesn't help, but I've just realised that Columbo is an anagram of Coolbum. So the next time your arse is own fire and you're putting it out in a horse trough, spare a thought for Lieutenant Coolbum. thx

Then again, after paying extra for online play and wifi capability (WTF?), the price difference isn't that much.

Don't get either. Spend your time wisely instead.

I like a man who leads by example, fucky.

yeah, it can add up. id advise against getting the xbox wireless thing. mine wasnt compatible with my router (£55 are suck) and i ended up using a long ethernet cable that cost about a fiver.

Is this instead of an iphone?

Indeed.

Get an Xbox just to annoy hippo.

See Frazer, the whole world is against me.

Doesn't matter, I might be getting a new console for christmas

My router's upstairs and the big tv downstairs, so that's still a problem. And paying extra for online play? How rude.

iPhone it is!

Get a wireless access point.

Go for it, then you can beat me on there as well as on Wii.
