how is owning all systems fun

Ok I don't get it, maybe it's just me but how do people own all 3 systems and get their moneys worth out of them.

I have a 360 and a Wii and the Wii never gets played anymore and has basically been a waste of $250

I've come to the conclusion that I'll never get a PS3 because of my 360. I have about 20 friends online that I know and play with all the time. I find myself playing a game and see they are on playing something else and I go join them because it is more fun to play with them. So if I got a PS3 I'd be wondering what my friends are doingand I know I'd go back to the 360cause that is were my friends are at.

I guess I'm just not gamer enough anymore cause I don't play single player games anymore, cause I get bored and want to play with my friends.

This would make for an excellent blog entry

Well for people who do like singleplayer games, like me, each system offers something the others don't.

It's fun because you get a chance of getting every game that comes out (not including region codes).

Its actually NOT fun I own all 3 systems and quite frankly the Wii sits there never getting played, the ps3 gets played occasionally and my 360 gets played the most...though right now that i found ragnarok online has a free server thats getting more play time.
Oh and im replaying tales of symphonia on gamecube.

I can't see how it wouldn't be. You don't have to miss out on anything. Plus you can also get the chance to make some new friends on PSN.

I'm too cheap to own 3 consoles. I set a budget for entertainment and I like to buy music, films and lots more too. Is there anyone here that owns all 6 systems?

You can play all games on those systems.

I have come to the same conclusion. I will never buy a 360, I got the 1 system I really only need ... my PS3. Nonstop-Madness

Same, but with my Wii.

I dont mean to sound right wing, but money isnt a problem.

Had all three but had to get rid of one. Couldn't keep up with all games. In the end I got rid of the 360.

It is not really all that awesome as a owner of all three. The expense is greater and the return is not equal to the expense. The PS3 has become a Blu-Ray player which I could have bought much cheaper as a stand alone. The Wii has become the system that is pulled out at holidays or any other family get together. The XBOX 360 is the gaming system that gets 85% of my playtime. I think this is the last gen for me and all systems I am gonna get the next XBOX and be done with it after this.

Lol, is it one of those free private ragnarok servers? I think I put more playing time into this game than any other game (it was on one of the best free private servers called qRO, which had like 2000 players total). Those were such great times and the server never lagged unless it was Emporium Wars. I believe the drop/exp rates for that one was 5/5/3. But, if I were you I wouldn't play MMROPGs like that because they take up too much time. That's the reason I had to stop.

I have all 3 and and the psp and ds (and a decent enough pc), I agree you will get alot more love out of one console. I'm an adult the wii was cheap, had some fun with it, but it is packed away for now, some good games coming out in 2010 though like mh3.

Bought the 360 on release day in aus, its good, been playing the summer of arcade games on it, handy for demo's and exclusives , The ps3 came out like a year later in australia, then I waited like another year to buy it, it is my fave of the three and gets played the most.

I play the psp alot since i got disgaea and really looking forward to getting scribblenauts for my DS

To be honest unless you MUST have Halo series games or Gears of War series games, the PC, Wii, and PS3 is the way to go...

If you get a good family PC, you could easily put a good graphics card and PSU in there and then it becomes a decent gaming PC. That just leaves the consoles. PS3 is worth getting for it's exclusives and the online is free. In addition, it's the best media extender since it supports more formats than the Wii and 360 AND it's a blu-ray player. Then you got the Wii that has it's own unique Nintendo branded line up of great games like Galaxy and Brawl. It also has Wii Sports for those who are casual gamers. That leaves the Xbox 360. I don't know about you guys, but if I have a decent gaming PC, I'd rather play Mass Effect, Call of Duty, Left 4 Dead or any Valve game on a PC as it will run better on a decent PC (by todays standards) and MOUSE + keyboard destroy a controller. The only people who don't think this are the ones who've never played that many PC FPS's to begin with (I started on CS 1.6 so you should know where I'm coming from).

So that's it:

PS3 for exclusives

Wii for exclusives

PC for RPGs, RTS, and FPS

Got me there :P but in all honesty the 360 for most people would be better than a PC because unless you have pc gamer friends (or you play alone), chances are most gamers you know will own a 360 or a PS3. The PC may have better content, graphics, free online, user created content, and dev support, but my 360 is a cheap alternative that a lot of my friends have. I love knowing that I can pop in Gears of War 2 and always atleast have one friend playing so I won't have to play alone. Same goes for my PS3 when it comes to Killzone 2 or COD:WAW. I only know 2 PC gamers, and they are annoying and obnoxious and not exactly the type of people I would like to game with. Also, I personally hate using kb/m for gaming even though a lot of people love it.

But to get on topic, I own a Wii for the few good exclusives it has and so my younger brother and I can play non-violent games together, my 360 for exclusives and some multiplats, and my PS3 for exclusives and most multiplats. My PSP also gives me a lot of great games that I can play where ever I go. Sure, a gaming PC would be nice to have but I just don't have the money for it and I wouldn't have any friends to play with.

I would love to see a comparison of the people who own Brawl, it's their main game (most played), and they haven't sold their Wii compared to those who don't own brawl and have sold their Wii.

Well...I my mom got my 360 for me on launch day. I bought my PS3 and Wii. The 360 is the system I play the most. The PS3 is usually in my brother's room since he plays it the most. The Wii is usually played by the whole family.

I'm not the only person buying or playing games for each console (only the 360). So yeah, that's how my family and I enjoy each console. So none of them are placed in the closet for months like most of you do with your Wii lol.

well if thats your view on it...

my view has always been

more games=more fun.

I have all systems, so

1. If you don't own any one system, you're missing out.

2. PS3 multiplats are sickening. Worse graphics than 360? come on.

3. Free online is good

4. Super Smash Bros. is good.

It's fun because you get a chance of getting every game that comes out (not including region codes).

i have all 3 systems and a high end gaming pc

.....i haven't really touched any of the consoles since i built my pc. back when i just had the consoles, i enjoyed them all though

Today i watched a blu ray movie and played a little bit of LBP, Wii Sports Resort and Trials HD. You cant do that without owning all three systems, now can you?

I don't have any friends, and a lot of free time. I don't own a wii because there's only a handful of games I'm interested in playing on it while the ps3/360 have at least 10+ exclusives I like not to mention multiplats.

Xbox360 - general gaming/online

ps3 - exclusives, fighting games

psp - media on the go

ds - strategy/puzzle games on the go

PC - Valve, Bethesda, RTS games, and exclusives (not to mention all the media/tech stuff I do).

It is not clear mate because BEST combination is depend on the users. Some people want 360 games more than ps3, some want ps3 games more than 360, and vice versa.That's why we have opinions. m/kb and controllers are also opinion. i like the feel of a controller better. I have a gaming rig and guess what? some of the games i wanted to play arent on the pc, thats when the 360 comes in.

Onto topic, owning all systems is fun cuz u wont be missing out anything. The Downside is, it's hard to find time and split the time with each system. I got 360/pc and most of my time go toward the 360. I go on pc for games such as cod, tf2, all those valve games. 360 for exclusive and rpgs.

You're just being vague and not being specific at all in regards to the best combination. Which big 360 games would you miss out on other than Halo, Gears, if you owned a decent gaming PC, PS3, and a Wii?

[QUOTE="OPuniverse"][QUOTE="EwwFanboys"] yeah that's the thing. The Xbox 360's strength relies on the online users who play games with their friends and many people value that. For me though, I've met a lot of nice/cool people online playing some of the free rpgs or other types of games and because it's PC where it's way easier to communicate (because of the keyboard). The convo's and chats, usually always end up being more hilarious/interesting than if I were to play on xbox live with friends. The ironic thing about all of this is people claim to praise Xbox Live for it's features and I happen to not give a crap because I just want to play online and that's it. It's not even just me. I had 3 roomates last year and they played on live way more than I did. People across the hall played on live a lot too. We all NEVER use cross in-game chat or even care about chatting online with people. They just play the game and own noobs, lol. In fact, I don't even really hear people use the mic that much and when they do, they don't usually say anything worth hearing anyways. Anyways, I can see how people would value owning a 360, Wii, and PC over a PS3, Wii, and PC. It's clear though, that it's not the best combination for getting the best games.EwwFanboys

You're just being vague and not being specific at all in regards to the best combination. Which big 360 games would you miss out on other than Halo, Gears, if you owned a decent gaming PC, PS3, and a Wii?

Because it is.

Personally, I play my PC more than my 360, PSP, or the Wii

My wife plays her PC more than her PS3, DS. or the Wii

With gamefly we usually get to play any game that we're even remotely interested in without having to outright purchase it and be disappointed. If it's a game that we're definitely going to be intersted in GTA IV, Fallout 3, Forza 3, CoD MW2 just to name a few for myself and God of War 3, FF XIII, Splinter Cell, Monster Hunter for the wife then we'll just buy it.

The Wii is just a fun system to have, I can't count the times that instead of going out for dinner before a movie or a show/event the wife and I will play Brawl or SMG or Mario Kart. If we have friends over to visit the fun multiplies with the Wii.

The 360/PS3 are more for personal gaming and even multiplayer gaming with people round the country/world. Not as easy to pick up and just have fun like the Wii.

The DS and PSP are for plane rides or layovers or even road trips. My wife loves her Pink DS Lite...now if only Polyphony would get GT on the PSP already.

I don't even need to explan PC gaming, it's just awesome.

We have decided that we'll wait for the next Playstation and Xbox consoles because this generation has taken quite awhile for MS and Sony to figure out what they actually want to sell. Ninty hit the nail on the head; a game system that's fun to play, easy to enjoy with no X, Y, or Z console steps. Just one console.

Anyways, owning all the systems would be AWESOME if I had a lot of money. I would love a 360 and a Wii (for some games, not many), but it's hard to come up with enough money to buy games for all of them. My PS3, DS and PSP keep me broke enough!
