For your console of choice, which would you prefer to boast about?

I'd say 1 AAAAe, as those don't come often.

It depends on the games and their genres, but three games usually last longer than one.

AAAA is just a score, some of my favorite games this gen (L4D, Witcher EE, Mass Effect, STALKER; SoC) have all scored under 9.0

Depends, if the three Triple As are FPSs I'd take the one AAAAe.

I'd say I'd rather play the games I want rather than looking the scores with obsession.

Yup. If I actually cared about scores, Deus Ex and System Shock 2 wouldn't be my favorite games ever made, and I wouldn't be playing the hell out of X3 right now :P

A game getting AAAA has a bigger chance of disappointing me if the game doesn't live up to the scores it it(looks at GTA IV), so I would rather have an AAA to be less disappointed, you don't seem to realize how I can easily been disappointed when it comes to hype.

Also, Super Mario Galaxy, Halo 3, Super Smash Bros. Brawl>GTA IV.

I would rather have 5 games of whatever letter that I actually care to play than either of the two options given. Even if that means I'm playing 5 6.0 titles.

Well even though AAAA's don't come around often, I'd rather have several different games. No matter how good a game is, it eventually becomes old.

It depends if all 3 triple As are FPS, no. If even 1 is an RPG, no. Other than that I'd take the AAAs. Even if the AAAA is MGS4.

Did you finally overcome X3? How many ships and money you have? Do you have your own stations and / or fleet yet? Are you a good guy or a bad guy? :P

It is entirely dependent on what the games are.

Hypothetically speaking, if the Wii has The Legend of Zelda Wii release and it scores AAAAe, chances are I'm going to go with the one AAAAe.

Now what if I have a PS3 and Kingdom Hearts III, God of War 3, and the Team ICO game release all on the PS3 and they all get AAAe? Well instead of making the decision between another Zelda AAAAe and KH3, GoW3, and Team ICO's game, I'll fork over the cash to get all.

Although regardless of their scores, I will be forking over the cash to buy all these games. :P

I've got about 2 dozen trade ships, half of which are working for my 4 stations (Teladianium, wheat, solar power plant, and 25 MJ shield production complex, and the other half of which are sector/universe traders), about 12 million credits, a Nova and Xenon L to back up my main fighter, which is a Xenon XL. That fighter is AWESOME-two turrets capable of holding beta plasma throwers (in addition to the forward-facing laser banks, which can hold alpha plasma throwers and pulse-beam emitters, which are great for dogfights against groups of M4 and M5 fighters), 153 m/s, steering as good as a Buster, 125 MJ shielding, and laser banks comparable to those of corvettes. I *love* that fighter.

I would choose 1 AAAE(10.0) over 3 AAAE (9.0 only and not 9.5) but here these are the scores I will be giving the games and not some other reviewer

I would rather have 3 great(AAA) games over 1 superb(AAAA) game; mainly because the words "overrated" and "underrated" slip into mind, those words weren't invented for no reason, why on earth an unbias gamer would choose 1 over 3 thing's is beyond me. Then again when it comes to words such as "underrated" and "overrated" one path is never enough because our opinions conflict with our understanding of other's opinions, thats why we call games underrated/overrated because we feel that other people might dislike us for not recongnising why they feel that the game they have chosen is the greatest game in that genre or the greatest game full stop. In the end the ansnwer to this question really belongs on your concious because we are all out for our selve's at the end of the day, so why lie? ... To answer the question I may have to disagree with the choices supplied and go with Forza 2 and what ever console its on(X360), why because its the game I consider as the best out of this generation and not what is up on display, I don't care what games other consoles may have or will have!, forza 2 is a game that I concider superb no matter what others say Im tierd of lying to people I have never met.

It depends, since the AAAAE is MGS4 i would rather have it because well it's MGS. If it was any other I would probably choose 3 AAAEs isntead.
