I own an original XBOX that I love and still play every week, and I also own a Gamecube that is great. I have never really been a big fan of Sony although they do have some cool titles like God of War for the PS2 and Resistence: Fall of Man on the PS3. I want to make sure I buy the best system for my money. I want an XBOX 360 but all the rumors of defective hardware scares me. I love Nintendo but I'm not real excited about the Wii Mote. I'd rather have a normal controller like the 360 or PS3 has. So which one should I buy?? When I'm gonna drop some big bucks I want to be happy with my decision. JDW_gamesI can't really decide for you so I can walk you through my decision and see if helps you with yours. Wii = No. I agree with you. I like a standard controller and I really wanted HD graphics and movies. Xbox360 = No. I agree with you here too. I was afraid of all the rumors of hardware defects (and now the rumor of the Zephyr or black Xbox360) PS3 = Yes. That being said, everyone before me has a valid point. The PS3 is just starting off now so the game selection is limited. I only have one myself (Marvel) and I spend most of my time using the PS3 as a bluray player. If you have the $$$ to spend and are willing to wait for the games, the PS3 may be your best choice. (Hardware reliability was really important to me in this decision. I, too, owned an Xbox last generation and suffered from disc reading errors near the end of the Xbox's lifespan that really took away from the gaming experience. Hence, my transition to Sony.) If you want a more affordable system with good games right now (and a better online community to boot), you will probably be happier with the 360. Good luck with the decision!

JDW_gamesJust get a 360 with an extended warranty and you'll be fine.
I'm still not sure. I have bashed Sony quite a bit through the years, but their hardware does seem to hold up pretty well. I'm a huge fan of Riddick and Halo 1 and 2 for XBOX and would almost feel like a traitor getting a PS3. I mainly play sports games and a few racing, and FPS games. My buddy has Fight Night Round 3, Madden 07, and Resistence: Fall of Man on PS3 and those games play great. However Gears of War, Lost Planet, and the new Halo is making me drool. So it's really a toss up for me on whether I should get a PS3 or a 360 ... JDW_games

You will not find games like those on ...Wii garbage, and not for 2 more years on PS3

JDW_gameswell judging by ure post the wii is completly out of the question for you. i would advise giving it a shot before writing it off but too each their own. u seem keen on the 360 but are afraid of hardware failure. rest assured that the chances of getting a dodgy 360 are very slim. the launch batch was a bit dodgy but there long gone now. ive been playing a 360 for ages now and it hasnt caused me any grief. it also has some (possibly) top quality games coming soonish and has the best back catalogue. keep ure xbox1 though, the BC on the 360 is very poor. the PS3 is an awful lot of money to pay for just one game. its only a few months old and doesent have very much available on it. for just games, i would advise against getting it at the moment. however if u want a bluray player and are confident that it will win the format war then it might be worth ure while. a PS2 might be of more interest though. there cheap now and they have a massive back catalogue. shops still hugely support it with shelf space too and it has a few years life left in it. so judging by ure poast, if u really want to get something now then a 360 premium and a PS2 might be the best bet.
If you want a true High Definition gaming experience you will definately want to pick up one of these.
The new 1 year warranty on your 360 will cover you completely. In case you haven't noticed, the problems have been occuring 2-3 months into a console's lifetime. Its very rare for it to happen after that. Plus, the newer ones are much better than the older ones.TheSystemLord1I thought the new warranty was supposed to be 90 days? We have always 2 years warranty in Sweden om manufacturing problems. ;)

JDW_gamesThe most consoles with problems are the ones that were available at launch or close to it. You also got a year warranty so that should be no problem. I have no problems with my 360 as long as I keep it in the open. Don't keep it in a closet while playing, but you shouldn't do that with any console. Wii is also great, but I don't know a lot about it's games. I wouldn't worry to much about hardware problems... When buying a console, just inform about the game lineup, and buy the one you like most.
