I'm very tempted to get another console to supplement my Wii, due to the on-going drought of decent PC games, and the cost of continued upgrades to play the few that come out. However I am finding it hard to find impartial non-fanboy advice, so I figured I might get a more level-headed response here.
I'm stuck, and I'm considering flipping a coin to decide. Can anyone help me make my mind up in a more rational manner?
- Cost: it'll be a massive saving on upgrading the PC, so I'll be happy whatever the bill, as long as it lasts me a few years. Of course though, I don't want to waste money: if I get a 360, is the elite worth £50 more? And why can I only find the PS3 in one version?
- Games: I'm mostly after GTA IV, which runs fine on both. The 360 seems to have a better back-catalogue of quality exclusives, but the PS3 does have that little big planet around the corner, which looks fun. What are the downloadable games like?
- Online play is not a major selling point for me - don't have time to compete
- Blu-ray isn't a selling point; I'm in no rush to go HD, and this will not be hooked up to the TV anyway
- 720p, 1080i and 1080p, component or DVI cables - I have no idea what any of those mean, not in real terms. My monitor can do them all, but am I really going to notice a difference? Looks like most games would be upscaled anyway, so I don't think I care. Should I?
- Is there anything else I should consider?
Thanks! Any fanboy comments welcome, as long as they are backed up by fact![]()
