For those of you with more than one 7th gen console

[Gamer137]

I have a Wii60, under the idea that the PS3 and 360 are not much different. You only need one of the two paired up with a Wii, and you will get enough out of the generation. If you want all three, go ahead. I dont see how getting a 360 will be worth the extra $300 American.

So I wanted to ask those of you who have bought a second console was it double the fun or do you now have a expensive dust collector?

What do your friends own? My PS3 gets plenty of online action because my friends all own one. However, if I'm playing solo then my 360 delivers the better experience generally.

It's a useful luxury being able to cherry pick the superior version of a multi-format game. Plus dual-ownership gives you the right to plunge into console flame wars with indifference - or, if you're feeling feisty, impunity.

What GAMES are there for the ps3 besides MGS4 period? I really want to know.

We're still in that myth? I thought people got over that?

I have a Ps3 and a Wii, but my Wii has so much dust on it I could probably use it as a broom (bad pun)

 

[The Wooster]

My ps3 doesn't see too much use as a gamesconsole but it is a fairly decent Blu Ray player.

I own far too many games for the 360 that either came out on the pc (usually in a better form) or I just haven't played.

My Wii developed an overheating problem about 3 months ago. It's sitting inside a hair curler box waiting to be sent out. The selection of games is, sadly, piss poor.

Just out of curiosity (no, I'm not being a smart ass), what RPG's for the PS3?

Sorry, what I actually meant was when there are some multi-platform RPGs, I'll be getting them for the PS3

Fixxd.

I own a PS3 and a Xbox 360, bought the PS3 a year or so after the Xbox.
I have to say, my PS3 rarely ever gets used, in opposite of the 360, which gets turned on every single day.
I think that will change for a bit once LBP hits, but after that it's Fallout 3, Fable 2, Gears 2 and L4D to keep my Xbox 360 purring like a kitten once again.

This fall/winter will be AWESOME.

I have all the new consoles and a gaming PC and I use them all regularly. The only problem I have is actually COMPLETING all the games available to me. I had my PS3 and Wii since release night and have had a working gaming PC my whole life. The reason I bought a 360 was to play COD:4 with my brother and I've had a great time picking through the now cheap backlog of X-Box exclusives. Now my only OTHER problem is which platform to buy mulitplatform games on. Case in point; I want Burnout Paradise now that it's $29 and I'm having a hard time deciding which platform to buy it for. As I will when Dirt, Grid, and Pure go down in price.

I got a Wii for Zelda/Wii Sports, and haven't plugged it in since the last time I moved. The 360 I play regularly, and haven't had any issues with it yet, and have downloaded various games/movies from Live as well.

I bought an HD DVD player for the 360, about 2 months before it was declared dead in the water. So after sitting around a few more months unable to get any new movies in HD, I finally bit the bullet and got a PS3 for the Blu Ray player. The only games I've played on it are MGS4 which came with it, and Uncharted, which I borrowed from a friend.

MGS4 is weird, and I've enjoyed and beaten MGS. I don't know if I'll finish it any time soon, it just doesn't grab me as fun. Uncharted is great. I've only played about a quarter of it so far, but I've enjoyed every bit of it. I haven't seen another exclusive game for PS3 yet that warranted me buying it, although I have bought several games from the PS3 store. Siren: Blood Curse, Super Stardust HD, and fl0w (which was underwhelming and short ).

The PS3 store has some nice exclusives, but they go out of their way to make it one of the most annoying interfaces to use. From searching for a game to actually downloading and installing. I've always been a Sony fan over Microsoft, I still have my pre-ordered PS2, and never owned an Xbox, as well as preferring the controller. But, overall, I still enjoy cross platform games on the 360. They tend to have a wider range of DLC, or at least more apparent DLC, along with the achievement system (haha trophys) and better integrated online functionality.

I'm still looking for a reason to buy a second controller for the PS3, although Super Stardust is almost enough. I want to see what co-op is like on that. Resistance 2 is probably the best exclusive on the horizon I can think of, although I haven't tried the first one yet. I hear Disgaea 3 is decent, but not sure if I'm in the mood for that currently.

So, right now my PS3 is a Blu Ray player with a couple downloaded games on it, and my 360 is a game console. The Wii is a paperweight.

Which is alright, but far from a system seller (and more of an action game than a proper RPG).

The only RPG worthy of note on the PS3 is Disgaea 3. Eternal Sonata is out soon, and that's fun, but also sloppy seconds, and Enchanted Arms, which is only for people who REALLY like RPGs, and can stand utterly dire voice acting (seriously. I want the voice casts, both English and Japanese, because they're both awful, lined up and shot).

I got a Wii for both my daughter and wife, as they tend to enjoy more family friendly games with a simplistic control scheme. Anything that they have to memorize button combinations or becomes somewhat complex...they really have no interest in. I also admit, I wanted one to play with the unique controller, and some mindless gaming. However, because of the lack of 'AAA' title games...our Wii doesn't get played as much. I find it gets played more when we have company over because couples can jump in and play more intuitively and easily...especially among the women.

My XBox 360 is my baby. I love the games, graphics, achievements, DLC, and exclusives. I pretty am pretty much on daily, or at least every other day. My Xbox get a work out.

I am considering a PS3 solely for two reasons: Little Big Planet and a Blu Ray DVD player that can get flash updates every so often. My DVD player is like a 1st or 2nd gen (approaching 7 years old), and I'd like to upgrade. Why buy a new DVD player for $399-499, when I can get a PS3 and Little Big Planet for the same price? I think if I got a PS3, it would be more used to watch Blu Ray movies.

 

[PersianLlama]

I have a question, is it worth it?
You see I have a Play Station 3 I love with my harts content but I am looking to buy a 360 purely because of a few exclusives GOW 1/2 Halo and Fable, however I don't want to spend £200+ on something im not going to use after a few months and me being the sony fan boy I am I would buy the majority of multi platform games for my ps3 only getting 360 exclusives and games I know I will enjoy more on the 360 (people to play online with ect)

So I wanted to ask those of you who have bought a second console was it double the fun or do you now have a expensive dust collector?

I have a Wii and PS3, the Wii is my sisters (I still get to play it though!), so I'm satisfied.

I suggest if you buy a 360, drop the crappy games you mentioned and get Castle Crashers & Braid.

 

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

Wii, PS3, PC is my lineup.

If you are happy with what you have then forget about the other few exclusives.

Also since you mentioned that you have a PS3 LittleBigPlanet comes soon.

I don't want to buy a 360 either, I'm afraid I would neglect it.

If you think you are going to regret a purchase look into the game lineup (especially the upcoming one) - and if you want another consoles/system - upgrade your PC for the longevity. Initial cost hurts but everything after is a breeze.

So screw all the full price, deep retail games and just buy the stuff from the Xbox live arcade. You know don't worry about playing with friends online (which was the point) and get some hollow toned down to fit the arcade size regulation games. Good idea there.

Have you actually played braid?

Hey, its not my money that paid for it.

Sorry, if I play with friends, I like to play good games.

Edit: To the guy above, yes I have played braid. As nearly all my friends are rich bastards with all the consoles AND a $2000 gaming PC. And I loved it. (If the comment was aimed towards me)

 

[EvilEngineNumberNine]

Actually I have to admit. After blowing through the backlog of all the great/cheap games the 360 had to offer, I too turned my eyes to XBLA and found a treasure trove of goodies there waiting to be snatched up. Many of the XBLA games offer LIVE multiplayer support, and even the ones that don't (the good ones anyway) are worth the cost of buying an X-Box. Rez HD, Braid, Castle Crashers, Geometry Wars, Assault Heroes; even arcade perfect NINJA TURTLES delivered digitally right to your 360 in seconds. Gotta love that.
