Everyone has Wii's? I wanted one, but they're sold out everywhere and Jake wanted the PS3.

I have neither. My last console was Super Nintendo.

WOW i want one. i have xbox 360, ps2 but i think im going to get a wii next.

My hand may be forced to get a Wii too. Emily is ticked that I got the PS3. These kids cost me too much money. LOL!

I think I'll trade in all the PS2 stuff and get credit towards a Wii. The guy at Gamestop said I could get $30 for a PS2 console. Plus I have about 20 games. Then I'd pay less than $200 for the Wii. Then both kids are happy and I'm the best dad in the world. Alright.... good plan. LOL!

Lovely, so I just read that I can't play PS2 games on the PS3... Probably should not have assumed it would...

no, dude, im pretty sure you can. i think it just depends on the game. whether or not it's compatible or whatever.

In the latest models, they are phasing out PS2 compatibility to reduce costs.

PS3 blows... at least the 360 is backwards compatible with the majority of its Xbox titles....

iwz iwz ·

the PS3 is a very impressive system. It just needs more good games.

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001 ·

I guess your right... the way I see it, its currently a glorified BlueRay player...

brothermanOG 2004 ·

Sony's site says the 40GB version, which I have, doesn't play PS2 games.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

the new lower priced sku of PS3 is NOTTT backwards compatible.

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001 ·

Xbox 360 & Wii for me... The only way I would get a PS3 is when I start wanting to watch BlueRay movies, because in comparison with the 360 that's the only true advantage.

superhero superheroOG 2004 ·

sometimes i think about getting a 360 but i dont' have time to play what i have, never mind another whole system ...

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001 ·

Dude, its so worth it... Rockband alone makes it worth it....

superhero superheroOG 2004 ·

i dunno. i have guitar hero 3 and i never play it.

i'd rather learn to play actual guitar and push myself to learn songs i like as opposed to playing it in a video game.

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001 ·

Well, you will get to learn the drums in Rockband... Its extremely fun, and a GREAT party game...

A
alexOG 2001 ·

alexOG 2001 ·

g.f.s said you could "learn to play the drums in rockband"

and on top of that, the game sucks. i saw some people playing it the other day...sooo gay.

ya know what else is gay?

you

what now brown cow?

iwz iwz ·

how are they not like real drums? because it's not a complete set? or because they're pads? or because it's a video game? or because mike's fat?

i don't understand how you can say that hitting pads with sticks and pressing a pedal with your feet to a specific beat/pattern is not at all like drumming.

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001 ·

Try it and you tell me...

B
brothermanOG 2004 ·

Hahaha... Good one Ian.

i think it could help someone learn drums, and i think somebody that plays drums would automatically be better at it than someone who doesn't. that said, playing real drums is harder

superhero superheroOG 2004 · thefunkyfresh

......and gets you more ladies

A
alexOG 2001 ·

yeah, i guess it's like drumming, i just don't think that if you mastered every song on the rockband drums the skills would carry over to the real drums.

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001 · alex

It wouldnt at all, but its like a practice stage before trying the real thing...

iwz iwz ·

btw, Rock Band has been announced for Wii

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001 ·

Nice... now you can practice and see how good you are...

iwz iwz ·

You def gotta buy yourself an HDTV now. It's such a huge difference when using a PS3

superhero superheroOG 2004 ·

dude don't make him spend any more money if he doesn't want to!

B
brothermanOG 2004 ·

I got a lot back in tax refunds. so I may get one if the price is right.
