Well guys I'm lost on which to buy.  A PS3,Wii,or xbox.  
Im used to the playstation platform.  Been about two years since I had one.   Most games I played where first person like kill zone,splinter cell,navy seals,?,and rainbow 6?some simulators like ace combat.  Looking at COD black ops being my main game,but I'm lost as to what to get.  So I turn to you my fellow brother arfcomers which one will I regret the least?

It's also a BluRay player (AND plays 3D BluRays out of the box)

-If you're playing a decent amount of online multiplayer, get whichever one more of your friends have.  

-I'd drop the Wii from your choices completely, if FPS's is what you're looking to play.

Get Xbox if you're looking for flight games. PS3 will have 1 Ace Combat game when it comes out, which is actually a different game from the previous ones. Xbox 360 has the last original Ace Combat game (AC 6), AC Assault Horizon, as well as Over G Fighters, Birds of Prey and Apache Air Assault to. HAWX 1 is nice for $10 or so, HAWX 2 is trash

This.

I have all three and the Xbox 360 is my favorite by far, but that's where the vast majority of my friends are.

I have a PS3 and love it, I actually just bought a second one for the bedroom since it's such a good Bluray player also. The PS3 also seems to have a more adult gaming community then 360 does. Every time I played the 360 online at my brother in laws house there were annoying kids playing music in the background and they wouldn't stfu.
Plus PS3 has Metal Gear and Killzone which are great games. However if all of your friends have a 360 you might want to factor that in.

Bought the PS3 back on Saturday.  First weekend off in 8 weeks.  Got killzone 3 and Call of duty black ops beat the campaigns before the weekend was over.  Got socom4 Tuesday since I needed something from china mart the day it came out.  Haven't had a chance to play it.  Hopefully high speed internet will be at the house in a few months been watching them lay the cable on my way to work.  Sucks living out in the sticks,but my yard is my rifle range.

Socom 4 received an average press score of 7. That isn't good.

I personally prefer Xbox 360, but i have a PS3 as well.

Xbox has Gears of War, my favorite franchise of all time, plus quite a few other great exclusives. PS3 has some good ones as well which is why i had to buy one, too. You will not be disappointed with an Xbox.

other games you should definitely consider...

Borderlands
Red Dead Redemption
Assassins Creed Brotherhood
GTA 4
Mass Effect 1&2

Walmart has a great deal if your local one still has any holiday bundle Xbox 360's; you get 3 free full games Forza 3, COD Black Ops, and Alan Wake for $299.

Wii is done. Nintendo is coming out with a new console in October. Forget that steaming heap. Otherwise, you could pretty much chose either PS3 or Xbox and do ok.

That's pretty cool.  Usually when I've seen those "bundles", it always comes with games that no one would want to play.

If you play a lot of games, you really should have both IMHO.  

Not only because of the exclusive games, but because cross platform games will generally be better for one system or the other (i.e. Crysis 2 looks/plays better on XBOX, Portal 2 is better on PS3).  That way you'll always get the best console version of a game.

If you can only get one, decide which exclusive games you want to play and go that route.

Get both...

Since you don't have good internet, PS3 is a decent choice for single player games.

Xbox is the better online choice. IMHO

I just finished BF: BC2....   And it is great to play, not too hard to figure out, and easy to master.    I would recommend BF series of games.

Another game that is older, but still a good shooter is Operation Flashpoint.   I got one used for the PC/PS3 both for $15 each.  I was playing this Flashpoint until I got my hands on BF:BC2.  

I have the PS3 exclusive game of SOCOM, and it is interesting how different it was from the PS2 versions..   Not really sure if I hate it or like it..  Just different...


As for the xBox360....  A lot of my friends have it, but they also don't like the mob crowd there...So they do it ARFCOM way... They have both..

You do know they redesigned the chipset in the Slim to reduce failures, right?

Plus I still have my non-Slim and it's working great.  I don't put it in an enclosed place so it gets plenty of air and doesn't overheat.

Yeah, it's a bitch.  I tried to jump on the other day, and it was down.  Can't really complain about free shit though, I guess.  I heard Live was down for 2 weeks at some point.  I'd be pissed at that, since you're paying for it.  Were you guys compensated for the outage?

Wasn't really down, but the two weeks after Christmas in '07 were sucky due all the kids getting 360's and the first Modern Warfare. Slow connections and whatnot.



One more thing to blame IW for.

Yeah, I read up on it the other day.  It was down for about 2 weeks.  But on the bright side, Live subscribers were given free downloads or something as compensation, which makes sense, since you're paying for a service that you was down for awhile.
