Sorry drop 200$ more and build a custom gaming computer.

Then sit back and point at all the wounder boys who spend about 500 times that in a single year on replacements controlers internet play & games alone.



And just to wait 3-5 years to do it all over again.

No spankyou.

:lol :lol

I've had a PS2 for 3 years...not had any problems with it, and it fits my needs. When I crave to play San Andreas I just do it. I would rather put money towards a new gaming computer.

I had my PS1 for 6 years. My PS2 is nearing 8 years old now. I just got my xBox a few months ago. My gaming computer's 4 years old now.

Other than games, I've bought three PS2 controllers (2 were replacements), seven memory cards for both PS's (three unused), a battery pack for the xBox, and a 13 month LIVE subscription. That's less than $120 there in my life outside of games and consoles.

Get the poor thing some air. Don't put it in a cramped entertainment center hole. Get it one of those $15 colling systems.

That's just it.  For me to get a new gaming computer I'd have to drop more than $200.  The standards keep changing.  For instance.....to upgrade I'd need a new MOBO......with that I'd need a new video care to upgrade to PCI-E.  I'd also need new RAM and since all my old HDs are IDE I'd have to get new ones that are SATA.    That's ALOT more than $200 if you want the good stuff.  Right now I have a box that will play most 2 year old games so so.  Gaming on a console just makes more sense.  Yes it looks better on a PC but I don't have to worry about compatibility issues on a console.  

My 360 does everything I want it too and more.  Right now all I use my PC for is office stuff......some photoshop/web design work.....and a movie server.  

I'm getting ready to get about 4 external HDs to rip ALL my DVDs onto.  Unless you got the money to spend I don't think it's worth it to keep updating your PC every two years cause the standards keep changing on them.

The only game I'd want a game system for is halo.  Since that's one of the only really popular console games that isn't also released for PC... I guess I won't be playing Halo.

It's kind of stupid really.  If I got an Xbox and halo3, I'd be paying essentially $400 for halo3.  And at that price it would STILL be a loss for microsoft because they're taking a loss on each console sold and have to sell somewhere between 6 and 10 games to make up for each console sold.

On the other hand, if they sold halo3 for the pc, they'd make a profit on every one sold, even if that's the only game purchased by any particular person.

So no console for me, because AH is the only game I'd ever spend that much money on (over time, AH is pretty damn expensive).  I just don't see too many people buying the xbox just to play one game, no matter how good it is.  Which makes it seem pretty dumb for MS to not allow halo for PC to be released until it's stupidly out of date.

I bought the orange box set for the PC...  There's another situation, but done the *right* way.  It's a compelling game bundle, and they sold it for both the consoles and the PC.

I bought mine originally to play Ace Combat 6 and didn't get another game for a long while.

You haven't seen just how many people rushed out to just get an xBox and Halo, huh...I still don't have it. :rofl

I believe they're SATA 3.0Gb/s drives, so all you have to do is open it (hope you didn't want the warranty, though), unplug, plug, boot, and format.

Downside is that the 40 gig version doesnt have firmware to play PS2 games

I'm pretty sure you could clone the drive using easily obtainable software and solve this problem.

Dude, the coolest thing about the wii is the fact that it's "family friendly"  the sports stuff is the coolest.  When I have "people over" IE parties, it always ends up a competition on wii play wii sports or something.  

The first night I had the wii the Mrs. Gunslinger and I played it so much the next day we felt like we got hit by a train we were that sore from the movement.  My wife who doesn't do much physical stuff couldn't play for another day or so because she was so sore from the wii play.  

The wii is THE BEST game console I've ever bought.

EDIT:  it just sucks that its weak on the processing power front that the graffics are sub-par compared to the 360 or the ps3.

I've played with a friends 360, and on another friends PS3, never touched a wii.  

I've owned a PSX, PS2, SNES, Original Gameboy, GBA SP,

Of the three new systems, I'd prefer a PS3 for gaming, a 360 for the Free60 softmod, and a wii for nothing at all.  

If I could have anything right now, it's to have my old Snes back, and all my games. :o
(or maybe my PSX, and... games, etc.)


But at the end of the day, I'd rather just spend my money fixing/upgrading my PC...
