Is the Wii backwards compatible with GC? Now that I've gotten into the Tales RPG series, I've heard nothing but good things about Tales of Symphonia, which only has an English version for the Gamecube. I suppose I could just buy the Gamecube and save myself several hundred dollars, but why should I buy outdated technology? Regardless, my vote is for PS3 if only because of the 1080p HD resolution which promises "details in human faces which will look so real that you'll be able to tell from a game character's face whether he's lying or telling the truth."

I think the BIG question is going to be color - as it stands now, the PS3 is the only system offering two true different colors (black and silver), where the 360 has only interchangeable face plates and vinyls you can lay over the sides, and I'm pretty sure the Wii only comes in that weird, dull matte off-white silver. All my tech is black and now all the systems are silver. F*ckin pisses me off...

Yes it is backwards compatible with GC games and you can dl all other games from the old systems for a price.

I vote Wii, because of the games and innovation and price.
2nd I vote 360, because the games, online features, and graphics etc.
3rd I vote PS3 because the launch titles are crap, and for the most part I don't like PS(#) games nearly as much.

hmm, what system was Guitar Hero for :). End of discussion. Let me guess you are gonna make a comeback saying Guitar Hero 2 is gonna come out for the other systems too, well to bad its not out for the other systems right now.

Well, aside from having the best graphics capabilities and largest disc capacity, my vote goes to the PS3 because in spite of having just said that Tales of Symphonia which is apparently a fantastic game only came out for the Gamecube, the PS3 will undoubtedly still have the largest selection of RPGs, which is the only reason I even play console games nowadays.
Though realistically, I think once the price drops back down to normal ranges on the PS3, there's a good chance (or at least a chance) that I'll buy up all three systems. The PS3 for above reasons, the 360 because as a PC Slayer I have a responsibility to have a means through which to join everyone else in combative matches of the Halo 3 variety. And the Wii, well, mostly to own a piece of history as the last system Nintendo produces before they resign themselves to making games and whoring out their franchises to other systems, like that one company... you know the one I mean... the one who made the Sega CD, and the Sega Saturn... what was it called again?

PC Oibo · Wed Nov 29, 2006 2:42 pm

lol, it was called the Sega Dreamcast and I agree with you I will probably be picking up all 3 as well when the prices drop.

fyi, "mww" means mild work warning, and "ww" means work warning i.e. don't open unless you're alone

But yeah that video is both hot and funny, saw it on cable a while back.

Interesting comparisons, but remember that this only compares the graphical performance and look/style of the consoles.

Call of Duty 3
Marvel Ultimate Alliance

I saw absolutely no difference between the PS3 and the 360 version. But for the Wii, I was laughing my ass off. Did anyone else see any differences?

Dabomberman · Wed Dec 06, 2006 4:54 pm

Yeah, the Xbox and PS3 look different, mostly in how they handled the lighting (shadows too), where the Wii definitely didn't hold up in the graphics dept. However, the Wii is worth playing, if you check out the Wii Call of Duty 3 Review on GameTrailers... they explain how the game utilizes the pointer as your gun pointer pretty dang well and makes it worth playing over the others.

PC Oibo · Wed Dec 06, 2006 6:06 pm

lol Wii.

Holy shit, this reinforces the fact that there should be liscense required to breed. This to retards are the epitome of the international American face.

Fucking hicks' dogs keep getting in the way, and boy that camera man has gotta be the most annoying fucktard I've ever heard cackle like a psycopath.

Longwinded video of retards. Why don't they open the box up??? Bet its not even in there. How much of an asshole do you have to be to buy a PS3, so you can make a video of you destroying it (without an actual photo of the system)?

I love the moral of the story at the end, "So for all you people out there dumb enough to buy the PS3, you made a big mistake. Go with the Xbox360, its a better system, all around."

Oh wow, he must be right, I mean he's burning a $700 piece of equipment, he must really know what he's talking about. He's obviously opened the box up and play tested all the games. NOT. Faggot.

lol, i noticed they didn't show the system and you're right he almost hit the dogs, totally a hick. It was probably just a hoax
