Which Console Is The Top One To Buy
Posted by Goldy in Uncategorized on February 6th, 2010
Sales
If you are basing it on sales alone then it has to be the Wii that gets the prize. However from my opinion (a person who has owned all of the Nintendo Consoles) this has been the worse console that Nintendo have ever made. Why on earth is this?
Well the simple reason is that they have stopped caring about all of the Die hard fans and started to generalise their games for the general market which means we are constantly seeing rubbish games in which a Nintendo fan wouldn’t touch with a 10ft barge pole. Mario Kart wii sold because they toned it down to the the family but in all honesty it was a pants game. Mario Galaxy 2, nice one Nintendo, lets copy your previous ideas.
The Wii (in my opinion) is certainly out of it already.
Online and other
It has to be said that the PS3 is a great console with games such as Uncharted 2 it cannot be argued that it has some great graphics. However, online, although free, is slow, poor and features many people who cannot even speak English within it. I do not understan why they did not add language filters? Is Blu-Ray the only decent thing going for the PS3.
The 360 has the best games, the best experience when playing and a really good online community. Do not get a Wii as although it is said to be for the entire family, the kids and you will get bored quickly. 360 or a PS3 is the way forward.
To make sure these will not have to be replaced for some serious money, get game console insurance or gadget insurance. Of course you could also get some mobile phone insurance while you are at it.

The best console
Posted by Goldy in Uncategorized on November 26th, 2009
This is an argument that has been in debate not just for this generation of games consoles but since the beginning. But what is the best one of this generation, Wii, Xbox 360 or the PS3?
Althought the sales of the wii seem to be doing very well it just isnt doing anything for me at all. The games seem to be the let down and not the games. There hasn’t actually been a decent release on the Wii for a very long time. Nintendo just seem to have left the fans behind. Nintendo have also rather insultingly announced another Zelda DS game and Mario Galaxy 2 both of which seem to be almost complete copies of the previous edditions.
The PS3 is without a doubt a very good console indeed. Blu-Ray is one of the reasons it has become such a success as well as the HD gaming and free online play. Free really being the word here. Free can mean only one thing, laggy games and awful servers. The games available just for the PS3 are very poor to Microsoft’s Halo and Gears of War with Uncharted, Metal Gear and Resistance all being very poor games. The PS3 wand seems to be a bad rip off of Nintendo’s product.
The Xbox has got to be top simply because of the overall experience I have recieved. The games are a lot better and the online service (although paid for) never really recieves lag. Xbox Live seems to recieve many more updates that actually do things of importance. Project Natal is also on the way for the Xbox which hopefully will mean only one thing, domination of this generation. At least Microsoft are tying to keep the fans happy. They have also secured the rights to for the new Splinter Cell to be a 360 Exclusive which is going to be very nice indeed.

Learning About the Xbox 360 Pro System
Posted by Goldy in Uncategorized on June 8th, 2009
The Xbox 360 pro system is one of the most popular video game systems on the market today, and as the second video game console offered by Microsoft and definitely their most popular.
The Details
The Xbox 360 was developed in cooperation with IBM, ATI, and SiS. The integrated Xbox Live service allows players to compete online and download content such as arcade games, game demos, trailers and more.
There are actually a few different configurations of the Xbox 360 available, including the Xbox core system which was an entry level Xbox 360 that was later replaced by the Arcade. Then there is also the Premium or Pro which includes all of the features of the Core and includes a hybrid composite and component cable with optional optical cut instead of a composite cable.
They are known for being Canada’s fastest-growing specialty retailer and e-tailer of consumer electronics, personal computers and entertainment software and also operates the Geek Squad.
This game really sets a new pace for digital entertainment. It is much more than just a cutting-edge video game system, it is a whole new world that you have access to. It is much smaller than its predecessor, and is powered by a custom IBM PowerPC-based CPU with three symmetrical cores. It also carries a custom ATI customs graphics processor 10 MB or embedded DRAM.

One of the best things about xbox is the multitude of terrific games that are available for it. There are literally hundreds of different games that you can choose from, and this includes Absolute: Blazing Infinity, America’s Army: True Soldiers, Amped 3, APB, Armored Core 4, Beyond Good & Evil 2, Big Bumpin’, Bionic Commando, Bionicle Heroes, BioShock, and Beijing 2008, just to name a few.
Both of these games – namely the Xbox 360 Core system are incredibly popular and it looks as though this popularity is only going to continue growing in the future. If you want to get the Xbox 360 Core system or other 360 console for yourself, you should be able to find what you are looking for at any of your local video game stores. If you can’t find what you need there, you can always go through the Microsoft Company who is the creator and manufacturer of the Xbox series.
Also keep in mind that you are offered a certain amount of goods with your system, but there are many other tools and accessories that you can purchase as well, if you are interested. The best idea may be for you to take some time to get used to the game before buying anything additional for it. Especially if you have little to no experience with video games, it will be wise to wait and make additional purchases until you have more information and experience with the game and are more skilled at it and then spend more money.
The bottom line is that the Xbox video game system is one of the most popular and enjoyable video game consoles out there today, and so if you are interested in getting a video game for yourself, the Xbox 360 is one that you should definitely consider.
Cheap but Powerful Xbox 360 Video Game Systems
Posted by Goldy in Gaming, Play Station 3 on March 20th, 2009
When it comes down to spending money, people like to spend as little as possible. If you’re the type of gamer that doesn’t need to obsessively purchase the latest games on the day that they arrive in stores or online retailers, then you can save a lot of money while still getting the same great games, albeit a little bit later. If you can wait a few months or even a year or longer, then discount Xbox 360 games will net you some big savings. There are several ways to go about this: renting, buying used, and simply waiting for games to come down in price as the months wear on.
Before you go through any retailer to purchase an Xbox 360 Premium system it will be helpful for you to learn more about the video game console and what you are going to get included in your Xbox 360 Premium system package. You will get the Xbox 360 console which features three powerful core processors that are poised to pack a punch, 20 GB hard drive which is detachable and which allows gamers to store their games, music, downloaded trailers, levels, demos and community-created content from the Xbox Live Marketplace.
Buying used is another great way to get discount Xbox 360 games. Often, you can purchase these games within weeks of new releases, as gamers quickly exchange them for a significant portion of their retail value. At first, this will only save you about five or ten dollars as demand remains high, but they will drop to a fraction of their original price as demand falls. Used games are a safe bet, although many people have a stigma about them. They don’t feel that they can trust the quality of the game discs, but the truth is that most gamers take great care of their video games. In fact, resellers will refuse to purchase faulty equipment and video games, so you can rest assured that used discount Xbox 360 games will work as intended, or you will always be able to return them for replacement copies.
If you’re interested in purchasing a next generation console, then the Xbox 360 video game system combines a great price with a grest selection of games and incredible graphics. There is simply no better value on the market today, although the Nintendo Wii has a number of exclusive titles which may appeal different gamers. The 20 Gb model goes for $300 (down from $350) in favor of the new 60 Gb model (with support for Netflix), which will replace the 20 Gb model at $350.
The bottom line is that this is a fantastic video game console, one that is definitely worth trying for yourself. Keep in mind that the prices are constantly lowering on older Xbox 360 pro systems as newer versions take their place, and so you can wait even just a few months and the cost will drop dramatically. You do always have the option of buying the game used, but you have to be very cautious if you decide to go this route because you can never really be too sure of the condition of the game if you are buying it used.
