same here. one of mine runs 1.5 and the other runs 3.40 oe a.

Now is the time to go by used xboxs and and some modchips for them. Both are fairly cheap and you can do so much with a modded xbox because xbox is is VERY smiler to a desktop computer.

I support the Xbox 360 mainly because of the Marketplace. I love watching Robot Chicken on it. Wii's in the second, but even though I have one, I rarely play it. The only time I do is for the Internet Channel. PS3 is in third because I don't have it.

Trust me...the Wii looks cool until you get one. I thought 'WOW you can hit them with your sword by moving your hand!'
But then I played it at a friend's house. They are very fun for the first couple of hours...and then they get very boring. A limited amount of games and Wii Sports is probably the best game fpor it still apart from RE(which is quite embarassing considering it's a launch title)

That is true, But remember PS2 it is outselling 360 AND PS3 worldwide, so, by the slim chance ps3 does as well as ps2 it will be able to compete with the next generation. P.S i meant this generation, once a the new MS,Nintendo and sony release thier new consoles it will be the 8th generation. I think ps3 will outsell wii and 360, not the 8th generation consoles, but thats a long way away lets enjoy this round of consoles for now.

[glow=deeppink:5e82fd759b]wah???? I don't get what your saying......

Anyways, I have a PS2, and so does my dad, and we did have the old PS2 (you know, those big ones, the first PS2's that came out) but we don't have it anymore (long story) and personally I like the PS2 the best and I REALLY want a Wii, and it looks so fun, and the Wii Fit thing looks cool too. But I know I'm not getting one....[/glow:5e82fd759b]

Great technology tbh... but... Nintendo always misses hardware part, I mean processor and that.
I prefer the PS3 anyway, because if you're tired... how are you going to play Wii???

Yeah, how good these generation consoles are (well, how good the Wii is anyway) it makes me wonder if it could get any better than this, so I can't wait to see what the future holds.
