You might wanna check into that :)

Reports are coming that compatibility isn't that great so far.

Post by: Mupepe on November 13, 2006, 07:42:13 PM: Oddly enough, if it goes by the console I've bought the most games for and that I've used on a more consistent basis, the 360. lolz

There isn't one console.

If you don't pick one, you get none - sucker.

Title: Re: If you could only own one console - which one would it be?
Post by: TVC15 on November 13, 2006, 08:17:51 PM: PS3 because of PS1 and 2 backwards compatibility.

PC is not a console.
Through emulators yes.

Title: Re: If you could only own one console - which one would it be?
Post by: cubicle47b on November 13, 2006, 09:11:38 PM: Right now, definitely the PS2 (ignoring the backwards compatibility of consoles).
Title: Re: If you could only own one console - which one would it be?
Post by: APF on November 13, 2006, 09:17:40 PM: Gotta say PS2--or as folks are suggesting, PS3 with PS1&2 BC. All told, an enormous library of great titles.
Title: Re: If you could only own one console - which one would it be?
Post by: Cheebs on November 13, 2006, 09:22:54 PM: Wii for virtual console or PS3 for PSX/PS2 playback.

I cheat. :-*

Title: Re: If you could only own one console - which one would it be?
Post by: CajoleJuice on November 13, 2006, 11:18:50 PM: PS3 if you count the backward compatibility.

If not, SNES.

Even though it's the one Nintendo console I never have had :'(
Title: Re: If you could only own one console - which one would it be?
Post by: morphix on November 14, 2006, 12:39:42 AM: X360 best console to date.
Title: Re: If you could only own one console - which one would it be?
Post by: Bloodwake on November 14, 2006, 01:34:12 AM: Again, either the PS3 or the SNES.

And that, my friends, is a hard fucking choice between those two.
Title: Re: If you could only own one console - which one would it be?
Post by: Mondain on November 14, 2006, 01:41:57 AM: PS3 because it'll have the greatest selection of next-gen games

Title: Re: If you could only own one console - which one would it be?
Post by: bork on November 14, 2006, 03:05:03 AM: Hmm...probably the PS3, just because it can play PS1 and PS2 games as well. But then again, a modded Xbox can also play so much. I can't decide!

Nah. It's also far better than what the 360 has to offer with its B/C. :/

Post by: trippingmartian on November 14, 2006, 09:33:42 AM: I play 360 more than anything else.

There are some good retro systems, but a lot of those games are being ported to portables or are emulated on PC anyway.

Post by: BlueTsunami on November 15, 2006, 12:27:00 AM: PS3

You have BC for PS1 and PS2 and its been stated that Homebrew may be possible in the XMB. With that said, you may be seeing emulators for the XMB dash at some point. That means SNES, Genesis, NES etc on the PS3 :D

If not in XMB than in Linux for sure (if purely through software and no Hardware acceleration)

Post by: The Sceneman on November 15, 2006, 12:49:58 AM: Im taking a punt on Wii...

I have hope that every decent SNES, Megadrive, Dreamcast and N64 game will be available on VC. :-*
Title: Re: If you could only own one console - which one would it be?
Post by: xnikki118x on November 16, 2006, 12:22:06 AM: It's a toss-up between SNES and Sega Genesis. I like more SNES games, but I don't think I can survive without Sonic 2.
Title: Re: If you could only own one console - which one would it be?
Post by: Tigerriot on November 16, 2006, 01:56:53 PM: I would have to choose the 360. It simply offers me everything I need.

Perfect racing game controller, very powerful hardware with HD graphics, perfect online implementation for gaming, Xbox Live Arcade, and Gears of War. :D

Post by: captainbiotch on November 16, 2006, 06:45:07 PM: 360. Fuck the lowdef gaming ghetto.

Post by: TheOMan on November 16, 2006, 09:26:22 PM: Ooooooh - this is a toughie.

*If* backwards compatibility and the Virtual Console are included here (and I don't see why they wouldn't be), then it's a toss up between the PS2 and the Wii.
Title: Re: If you could only own one console - which one would it be?
Post by: Third on November 18, 2006, 11:47:58 AM: Ps3

- Ps1 library
- Ps2 library
- Future Ps3 library.

You just can't go wrong with a Ps3.

Post by: Prost on November 18, 2006, 05:24:48 PM: If the Wii has the entire old game library available and a SPEED UP option / saved state option..... then the Wii has completely sold me.... unless that library is like charged by the game or some shit. I'd just like to have a bundle fee, like 50 bucks or something for all the games.

Wii seems to be only launching with 13 Games (all NES) and there seems to be no enhancements. Basically the same state and options you would have if you were playing it on the NES.
