What 06 Game System Shall You buy? : General Discussion

Stpain-you know that ghz barely affect gaming right? Just like ATI cards have like 512 megs or vid ram on em but that isn't even used in gaming, it is the pipelines on the card more so. And the complex shaders, Nvidea is build for gaming+other graphix design etc.. dual core is nice but really isnt to necessary except for multi tasking and AMD makes dual core that works great for gaming because it also has a #^*% load of Mhz.

[stpain]

yes llama but it does have a effect... as a dual core amd does it work far more effective than power processors... And the amount of pipelines doesnt do much either... The amount of transistors make it possible to put those graphics on your screen... and memory does help alot as a ati with 512mb doesnt relay much on the system memory so it could run more smoothley

Dual core is ONLY good for Multi-Tasking, thats why it was created. And GHz doesn't callculate performance! Its really how much Bandwidth the Proc is able to Produce, a good example is those AMD Procs, BTW did you know a Single Core AMD FX-57 performs the same as those AMD X2 4800+'s ? Only if you run more than one App at a time will you see a performance boost!

BTW, did you know the PS2's EPC * Emotion Proc Chip * is so powerful that it can produce graphics better than the XBox 360! Its just that only 3% of the PS2 games utilize it >.<

back to topic ahem...lol jk, i pick ps3 if eldar scrolls comes out gundam looks good cuz its gundam, but if its like most gundam games _|_ personally i dont want to put my xbox 360 on a throne and wave it with a fan to keep it happy, bill gates gets that, his products dont need it.

revolution looks great, except id rather not swing a remote like a bat and have a girl come over or something, i can see the look on her face and just hear the door shut behind her with a scream about nutcases in the distance as she runs to her car lol they said theyd release a controller but id have to pay extra which is imo quite retarted.

if none of these expectations come out good, or if sont puts a rootkit in its own hard drive and says "Connect to your home network for SUPERIOR play" then transfers over, ill go on a homicidal rampage on sony becuase the company has officially gone to bits, pretty much my views are on what games they have i see 1 must have on each console really, not a good margin, ps3 has a linux mixed with gundam both arent a console getter but together they are an eyecather in the least, xbox is elder scrolls cuz of the video darooool, and revolution cuz i wanna play every zelda game in existance w/o switching my consoles a hundred times, as well as old mario and (possibly) Duck Hunt

I say Xbox360 even though that didn't come out in 2006 it came out 2005. It's going to have Halo 3 and has free XBL and i've always liked xbox. Microsoft has always had better online games then Sony and Nintendo. All though there's hardly any games for it right now they'll start pouring in. Oh and my friends Xbox360 has to be turned off like every hour so it doesn't overheat. Is that normal?

[edster45]

XBL isnt free, the silver version has a few fun things and is free but doesnt allow online gameplay. so its really not all that great.

[rabidsoccerball]

Oh really? I didn't realize that!

[llamapoopy]

i am really starting to think about getting the PS3 when it comes out. It looks really good, but i dunno yet

[rabidsoccerball]

Well, actually I was thinking about getting the next system nintendo released just because I wanted to get the next Zelda game. It looks like they're going to release it for gamecube so I'm back to xbox370

[llamapoopy]

xbox 370?!?! heh lol looks like the typo penguins got ya hehe

Well i like zelda and all but i really would rather play it on my n64 (ahh my sweet old n64) I have an xbox and i would rather play n64 most of the time lol (I LOVE STARFOX 64!)

so yeh i am still rather confused on what to get. Maybe just stick with my old systems? I dunno...

[rabidsoccerball]

lol, Starfox 64 ftw. I still remember the last boss' name. Andross right? lol yeah the typo monkeys assaulted me. Zelda is teh pwnzrs. I'll definitely get xbox360 (not 370 hehe) I still got my n64 too.
Heck yes! 200 TUbucks!

[llamapoopy]

Heck yeh! Andross! Flippy and Flaco and that one dude garr. But at the fire level Kat comes to help you (some secret love of Falco's i believe) Fox's dad died a long time ago, but in the last level (alt level) you think it is over after Fox dies but his dad saves him and disappears and Andross blows up

Man i am addicted to this game. I have been to all the Alt levels as well as all the secret levels great game great game

[rabidsoccerball]

I loved it. I want to go rent it out. Think they still have it at blockbuster? (I never bought the game but played it at friends).

[llamapoopy]

at all the blockbusters i live near, there is no n64 gmes
