It was my first DVD player as well. I remember buying my first DVD same day as the PS2 - From Dusk Till Dawn for £25

Ah funny that. My first DVD player as well.

And the PS3 was my first Blu-ray player.

My mate had an Atari ST. They were around before the Amiga and were really good for producing music on (aparantly).

The Amiga is what caused the ST's decline though, it outsold it by quite a high margin.

Someone I know wants to buy a good console. Select one

PS3 vs XBox 360 vs latest Wii

Not an avid gamer. Wants to enjoy games rather than play them 24x7

 

[Olly Gunnar Solskjær]

What genres does he like most?

If he likes third and first person shooters, realistic racers/driving games, WRPGs and strategy games then Xbox 360 (well PC really for the strategy games but out of the three). If he likes platformers, point-and-click games and rail shooters then Wii. If he likes a mix of realistic* and non-realistic* racers, action games and JRPGs then PS3.

IMO anyway.

Spoiler

By realistic racers I mean stuff like Forza and GT etc, and by non-realistic I mean games like Motorstorm and Wipeout etc. I don't know the proper names for them

Just tell him to get all three, they're cheap enough now There are games that shouldn't be missed on each console.

 

[Interval]

All 3.

I'll do that. I'm clueless as far as games go. I still play Caesar 3 in my free time.

 

[Olly Gunnar Solskjær]

BTW, by the "latest Wii" I thought you meant THIS, but I just thought you might have mean the upcoming Wii U. If so, ignore what I said since that's not out until sometime next year.

1. PC - better than everything else basically. More power, better input, better multiplayer, mods for games, tinker with games settings. The lot. Battlefield 2, UT2004, GTA San Andreas Multiplayer. So many hours of my life lost.

2/3 tied

Gamecube - Loved this as a spotty youth in high school. Smash Bros Melee, F Zero GX, Mario Sunshine, Rogue Leader. Delightful.

Nintendo 64 - got this when I was seven and lost most of my childhood to it. Mario 64, Lylat Wars, Smash Bros, Banjo Kazooie 1 and 2, Diddy Kong Racing, Shadows of the Empire, Rogue Squadron... I want my youth back!

Was tempted to put xbox360 third but was hesitant because theres nothing really that I play on it that I can't on computer except for Ace Combat and Halo.
