REVOLUTION or 360?

Sat Oct 08, 2005 2:35 am

Me and my friend were fighting over and randomly asking people which is better REVOLUTION or Xbox 360.
I said REVOLUTION and he said 360 so I posted this to hear your opinion which is better THE REVOLUTION or boring ol' Xbox 360?
Of course REVOLUTION is the best...

360 looks alright but I haven't seen much of the revolution yet but I'd say 360! or maybe 50/50 I only know them both the same and I don't know much information about them

I'm gonna be different and choose option C. PS3, heh.

Haha this all getting really annoying I'm just gonna boycott modernization and play NES for the next ten years.

Revolution all the way!

Ever since I watched that video about it and its awesome controller I've been dying to get it. Unfortunately however it seems I'm going to have to wait another year and a half until it comes out...

Personally I think they're all junk (this generation of gaming is starting to suck), but I'm getting the PS3. Because of the insane console prices, I'm only getting one (unless I somehow get enough money that I would like to spend on another system).

I don't think I can judge anything until I try them first hand.

Not to mention that a console is only as good as the games you can play on it. Specs and fancy do-dads aside, it really just comes down to which one has games better set for what I enjoy.

Revolution looks the best. Different than the 360 and PS3. Me likey.

Different is always better, because someone really creative can come along and turn it into something beautiful.

Revo.

Not to mention that Super Smash Bros is coming out with the Revolution (which is just gonna be awesome) I can imagine my siblings and I jumping around the TV room, controllers swinging madly as our characters fight one another.

And first person shooters (which I've always been bad at) are going to be so much easier to play, and swordfighting games shall be even more awesome.

The controller just brings so many unique twists which developers can use to create really unique games. And there are going to be other attatchments, which means even more fun!

yeah if I could choose one it would be ps3 because I know more about it and I know ps2 has good graphics and good games so ps3 would be even better! but the controller looks like a boomerang or something o_O

and the console itself looks weird but 360 might be a bit better and I don't know what the revolution looks like yet

If you asked me before the controller came out, I'd have said Xbox.

With the new controller revealed though, I say Revo.

In order of preference: PS3 > Revo > 360

The only thing that the 360 has going for it (in my opinion at least) is that out of the three it looks the slickest, and has the most well known and best online service.

Whilst the Revo is the least powerful, dammit that controller rocks. If you want innovative and original, pick up the the Revolution, I say.

And the PS3... well, it's just a massive powerhouse. And all of my favourite games are on it. I have been officially WOWed by the thing.

The Revolution definately. And not just because I love the new controller or because I'm a fanboy, but because I think it will rock! I mean think about the games! Being able to pummel Diddy Kong into a pulp with a baseball bat in SSBM, and with the controller being able to do it YOURSELF! BLISS!!! And you can't forget Zelda or Mario or Samus. I can't wait to play Metroid with my Remote and Nunchuk.

Man, I never thought I'd say that in my lifetime.
