I think the Wii will be more 'fun' in the longterm while I can do much of what the xbox can do on my PC.

Ok so finally I will hopefull be getting a console. Please help me decide what to buy. Let me first tell you the prices over here:

Xbox 360 Arcade - AED 850

Xbox 360 Pro - AED 1150

Nintendo Wii - AED 1400

The conversion rate between USD and AED is 1 USD = AED 3.65

I can get Gears of War or Halo3 PLUs the xbox for cheaper than the Wii.

This should give a basic idea of the prices over here.

The PS3 is too expensive and pretty useless to me. I only want to play MGS4 and God of War III on it and I can do these two games on my cousin's PS3 later on.

The Xbox 360 Elite is also useless to me because of the price and the unnecessary HDD space.

In an xbox I will be using the HDD only for game demos and MAYBE a few pictures and MP3s. For me the 20GB is more than enough.

The Wii doesnt have DVD playback but that doesnt matter to me. I can use the SD card for images, viewing them on screen with my family and thats good enough for me.

I dont really slow games and get bored of them. I HATED Resident Evil 4 on my PS2. Even though it was a highly rated game, and I still hate it, so you might get an idea of how I hate slow paced frustrating games and how they bore me.

In the past, I liked God of War, Smackdown Here comes the Pain and Burnout 3 Takedown. These are all fast paced games and I liked them a lot. I tend to only like 9.0 plus rated games because I get bored with games easily so I look for fast paced action.

For the Wii, the games I want to get right now are SSBB, Mario Galaxy and that Wario game(maybe not).

I strongly prefer shooting on the PC because of the mouse so the whatever of the following games have shooting, I prefer them on the PC.

For the Xbox 360 I am interested in Gears of War, Burnout Paradise (can play later on my cousin's PS3), Halo 3, Rainbow Six (both), Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, Call of duty 4. There isnt really much the xbox has that the PC doesnt. But the low price and the technically care free gaming of the xbox are tempting while the mouse on the PC is also very tempting.

For the future, which system do you think will get more highly rated fast games? Apart from the few games for the wii, I mentioned are there are any other such games coming out?

I really cant decide. The low price and superior hardware of the xbox seems good whereas the motion controller makes gaming easier on the Wii and it seems likely that the Wii will last longer and will have more fun than the xbox which seems like a simple upgrade of hardware but same old gamepad gaming.

So do you think this problem is big enough to make me consider going xbox360 for the HD res? Its not only the reading but the whole game over all. Even the aiming isnt very accurate.

Hi I have a PS2 and both the Wii and the PS2 are Standard Definition. On the PS2, I used to have problems sometimes reading text because of the low resolution. Do you think the Wii will ahve the same problem? Do you hae problems with seeing whats on screen because of the low resolution?

I am a bit nervous about playing FPS games with the xbox 360 controller. I have a PS2 and have FPS games on it. I played even Resident evil 4 which got a very high rating. The problem is that its quite hard to aim with the PS2 controller and its frustrating, stressful and boring. On the other hand, I ahve fun aimin with the mouse on my computer. Do y think there will be a similar problem with aimin using the xbox 360 controller? Or was it just that the PS2 controller sucked.

thanks for the reply. hmmm so if i can get my hands on dua lstrike i will get that. but if i dont then should i get bays of ruin? i dont really get a lot of time to play so i normally like games which are quick and less story lined. thats why i nd to only like games above 9.0 ratings. its rare for me to like a game under 9.0.

I remember playing soem game called Crash Bandicoot or soemthing with my friend on the PlayStation. So I was wondering if Mario Kart DS is similar to it and what major differences there are in gameplay? For those who ahve played both, which one do you think is more fun?

I ahve just played a little bit of Advance Wars 2 Black Hole Rising on the GBa and found it hard too. So now my question is that lets say I can get my hands on either Dual Strike or Days of Ruin, which one do you think I should get as a beginner. Whats are the pros and cons of each game? Can I play online with Dual Strike? When playing online in either of the games, can I specify if I am a beginner or not and then I get to play with someone of my level rather than an insomniac 12 year old with no life (no offense intended to 12 year olds).
