PC + PS3 + Wii+ PSP (and maybe ds)
which is why i've sold my jtaggable 360 and put a ps3 on my list of things to buy. i've thought about it for awhile now, the only real reason i bought my 360 was to play pirated games. but i found myself playing a majority of the games i got for my 360 on my pc, which looks much better and a much more enjoyable experience because of this. now, i've got a competent pc, plays absolutely everything i throw at it and because of that, i sold my ds awhile back. Ds emulation is actually coming along pretty well, desume/No$gba will pretty much play any of the big titles that come out. while it does have a pretty cool collection of games, not many of them are serious enough, sure its a decent enough platform when all you are looking for is a bunch of fun games. but the past 6 months, there really hasn't been anything that tickled my fancy. sure there is hg/ss, but i played that through when it come out in japanese already. the only game i'm really keen on for the ds right now is dj max technika. but there hasn't been any news (none that i've found) since its announcement. and if it uses similar controls as the psp, i'll probably end up emulating it - i might buy it for the sake of saying i've bought it. unless there is heavy usage of the touch screen, i probably won't be picking up another ds anytime soon.
now you may ask why i put a ps3 up there. i've put it up because;
a) its price, i can go pick up a brand new slim for 449 australian, during christmas i could have picked one up for 349 australian, but i didn't have the funds to do so around christmas. before, at launch it was 999 launch, which dropped to around 800. now you can pick up a new system for half the launch price. i can get used systems for 250-350 easy.
b) the shit that ms pull.
you want to get a bigger hard drive? yah oke, here 250gb with really big pricetag.
u want to pray onrine? u gotta pay for subscription
cant connect 2 internets? you either have to have a router nearby, buy microsofts adapter or hunt down a gaming ap.
seriously, why can't i use my own hard drive? for the price of microsofts hard drives, i can buy a 640gb 2.5" and more. i picked up a wireless router specifically for consoles for my original xbox for around $50 while i still used as a media centre. instead microsoft want you to use official Microsoft™ products with it. which can end up costing up to 3 times what they are worth.
c) The games, There aren't anywhere near as many 360 exclusives that tickle my fancy as compared to whats on ps3 right now. most of the microsoft exclusives come out on both 360 and pc (hello metro 2033 whenever you get dumped). and i don't particularly enjoy halo or gears of war. sure odst was interesting, but i only really found firefight to be fun. Gears of war? i got bored of the first one fairly quickly.
as for now i want to get Demons Souls, Heavy Rain (the movie), MGS4 and Fat Princess from PSN. also a bunch of psn classics would be cool (mainly ps2 games). also free online service is a pretty cool guy.
on another note, one of our family friends son watched me build my crossbone. He has adhd, while he was watching me build it he was quiet, you could literally hear a pin drop. You usually can't keep him still for more than 5 minutes. Even on his medication he is still quite noisy. after awhile i got him to help on on some of the weapons, just cutting them out of the sprues and putting them together after i got rid of the nubs leftover. So his mother told me "go grab one of them and whatever he needs to get started, $50 should be enough right?" now i felt like being nice, told her she didn't need to pay, it'd come out of my pocket. She's a nice person and all, very hospitable towards me all the time, so i thought why not. now we just have to see if he sticks to it.
