360/ps3 - and not a flame war

[j.o.s.h.1408]

I loved the dreamcast , favourite console of all time. Had some great games, Shenmue, Powerstone, MSR, Phantasy Star online.........

yea my fav console of all time too. it had plenty of "original" games.

I hate to say it, but you're probably right. Furthermore, the 360 is as close to a Dreamcast 2 as anything - it's got reliability woes, is noisy, and has awesome games like Rez or the latest MSR sequel. And is all about online play? See? DC2!

Sorry if I'm being a bit ignorant here, but MSR?

Metropolis Street Racer, in its time one of the best looking console games.

How so just out of interest? I have GHWT for PS3.

GHWT drums don't work on Rock Band.

Rock Band guitars don't work on GH

Microphone compatibility sucks unless you use Singstar mics.

Good enough reasoning?

Yes, although I thought that was all supposed to be sorted on all platforms.

i think you should get a 360, i hadnt really loved gaming since my ps1 but the 360 got me back in love with gaming

also the ps3 controller is dreadful it feels like it may snap in your hand, saying that though i hear the duel shock 3 is better.

Wow.

Thanks for all the replies guys!

I think I won't be getting one at all then, simply coming down to the lack of use problem...But the PS3 was attractive for its BluRay AND gaming capabilities.....


Thank you for all your opinions/advice!

If you have a newish graphics card and monitor then they might well be HDCP. If so then you can pick up a Blu Ray drive pretty cheap. Or one that plays both Blu Ray and HD DVD. Well worth it

And it isn't really on any quantitive measure.

Aye.

The Dreamcast was a decent console, but ultimately it failed. It had some good games, but not a shed load. It looked ok but not great.

It was, overall, an average console.

The SNES, the Megadrive, the PS1, the PS2, the 360, the NES. All in a completely different league to the humble Dreamcast.
