And yet, it has games rivalling the Wii's graphics, but we consider that a console.

Quote from Wikipedia
A video game console is an interactive entertainment computer or electronic device that produces a video display signal which can be used with a display device (a television, monitor, etc.) to display a video game. The term "video game console" is used to distinguish a machine designed for consumers to buy and use solely for playing video games from a personal computer, which has many other functions, or arcade machines, which are designed for businesses that buy and then charge others to play.


Now you all can decide on the iPhone's status.

Because the Wii was meant to only play games, not make phone calls and update your twitter.

Who cares about graphi- Oh wait. People that don't care if they're having fun.

The PS3 is still kicking. The two xboxes aren't.

Neither is HD-DVD.

Yes I'm turning into an Anti-Xbox-Fanboy

PS3 aren't completely out of the woods. You've still got the yellow lights to deal with. That and if you're into PC gaming, you'll be out of luck on the PS3's arsenal.

I'm starting to notice that too. But honestly I wasn't taking it that seriously, I'd rather have a PSP over an iPhone when it came to gaming for obvious reasons is all I'm saying. If you want a handheld gaming device get a PSP or DS not an iPhone ._.

The only thing I'd want on the PS3 is LBP (And even that would only be fun for 2 weeks) and Ratchet and Clank (Great for a weekend, that's it)

The only reason my XBOX failed was too much dust, and that's because my German Shepard sheds like hell. Other than that, I've had a really reliable experience.

My xbox died a week after the one year warranty went out last year and now they sent it back to me and it's still having problems with the disc drive. Sometimes I have to keep popping a game in and out before it will finally recognize that there is a game in there. I still find the experience to be much superior than a PS3 though.

Protip: A week before the warranty expires, send it in saying something is wrong with it. They send it back, warranty is renewed.

Psh, send it in every 6 months, otherwise it'll take too long for Microsoft to finally get to it and fix it, and by the time they do that, your warranty expires.

And a PS3 is better for the downloadable games. XBLA is getting ridiculously stupid priced. 1,600 FOR A GAME YOU WILL PLAY FOR 3 MINUTES AND HATE

What downloadable games are there for the ps3 really worth getting?

PS1/2 games?
