Weighing up the pros and consoles

Always becomes a time in the life of a generation of consoles where they all come down in price sufficiently that people can afford to have all what that generation has to offer side by side under the TV. I am reminded of a time in 2004 when I first ended up having a ps2 gamecube and xbox back to back on my desk, Well its come round again with the addition of a ps3 to my stash of consoles.
I was pretty late to the party with PS3 and owning one for a few weeks I can see why fan boy's and Internet trolls go on about console wars all the time there is good and bad on both sides.

 

XBOX 360

I have being rocking a 20gb xbox 360 for years always on and off xbox live, one of the reason I wanted a ps3 because of mircosoft making it auto renew your subscription to xbox live always forgot to cancel it (they don't make that easy) and then ended up overdraw with my bank because Microsoft wanted £6 for a month of live i didn't want. 

that aside some really good points Installing games is optional and the disc drive on the model I had was very quiet so no hassle. Xbox live is full of great games that don't take up space the whole time I had this console I was having a great time downloading games I wanted and never ran out of space. 

USB's can be used as extra space for games, on the downside the games on xbox market place are very pricey and its done in points not cash, the price of some games on the system is the same as a 3 months subsription to the playstation plus that gives you 23 full retail games free with it.

 PLAYSTATION3

I have had to atempts to get things rolling with PS3 I first ended up with a cheaper fat 40gb model, Thinking if 20gb was ok on xbox then happy days I will have the cheaper one, 
then I got home and installed metal gear 4 and heavy rain, Then I had no space left, 
ok it had not being formated for a bit, after signing up for 3 months of playstation plus and getting loads of games free I had nowhere to save them, So yeah hard drive size is paramount with ps3 that and patiences, I ended up with a 320gb a lot more, 
the games on ps3's store are way cheaper then xbox and the playstation plus service offer is awesome compaired with xbox live they rarly give away anything for free, and the fact that playstation offers free online play out the box, 
the downside is the disc drive is loud if your playing a game that doesnt bank a lot of stuff to the hard drive and reads the disc all the time then turn your TV up, I guess thats just bluray but damn games like COD make your PS3 not shut up. 
The controllers great makes me feel like I am playing next gen stuff with a PS1 controller still in my hand that pad is future proof, well untell you need a trigger button, yes the 360 pad seems more cut out for some games.

Wii


Yeah everyone knows what the wii's about and if you think its playing wii sport or checking your weight loss then get a grip, get an SD card hack it and plays some NEO-GEO or something.


Because this is a late look at the 3 consoles it seem it doesnt matter what pros and cons they all have if you want cheap and versertile go for a wii, if you want cheap but comparble get a 360 and if you want to wait 2 hours for stuff to install but get loads of stuff free ps3 but thats just the point most people are one console shy of the full set now days anyways everyone has a wii kicking about even my parants have one,  and a main console ps3 or 360.

in full concussion they are all a bit shit so if you combied them all togeather they mite be a good console in there somewear.
