"Nintendo DS Vs. X-box 360"

It is safe to say I am REALLY looking forward to Zelda and Pokemon XD this year (and Geist to a smaller but otherwise essential degree), 2 Christmas treats.

But as a Christmas present I WAS planning on getting a Nintendo DS. Already there are some games I'd like, Pac-Pix, Mario 64 DS, Wario Ware, Touch! Kirby and Yoshi's Touch and Go. But the Christmas line up looks immense. Nintendogs appears a good laugh, Snowboard Kids is back and I am truly looking forward to Goeman. Don't get me started on Mario and Luigi 2 (Dances) and Metroid Prime. It is also online and I have wi-fi (yay).

I have no intention on getting a PSP (even if I do love Medievil) but Microsoft's new system looks the nuts!

A few good games at E3 could easily sway me.

So what do you think?

Like people who can't come up with a decent insult?

But you NEVER SAID...

If you can't be coherent in your argument I'm free to laugh all I want.

I disagree.
It's not as tasty and has a reduced vitamin C content.

Well, according to the stats I've seen, obviously i haven't tried it first-hand.

Because some people are arrogant fuckwits.

We're stil on about this?
gerrid is right, everyone else hush.

I fail to see how you can argue against it.

If you really feel the need to demonstrate a complete lack of understanding, then I won't stop you.

Don't make me quote you again. :D

Look at what I said. The description makes it sound like a PC. I'm not saying it IS a PC. Read the description again - photo sharing, big hard drives, video storage and playback, interfacing with digital cameras, operating system, file and folder organisation, music storage and playback. These are all things that a PC does, aren't they? Consoles are changing from being purely gaming devices, where you just stick in a game and play it, to a multimedia device like the PC. You're making the exact same mistake as Hedfix! I didn't say it was exactly the same as a PC I said it was like a PC dressed up to be a console, so with different firmware, changing the hardware to suit the console market, removing the ability of the user to actually customise and change things too drastically. It's still the same sort of idea as a personal computer though, in that it's not just a single use machine, like consoles used to be. I'm saying consoles are becoming more like PCs. Are you saying they aren't?

yer, but if consoles are becoming like PCs (as in more than just a platform for playing games), then that doesn't invalidate my point, does it? Just because other consoles are becoming more like PCs (or macs if you prefer), doesn't mean the xbox 360 isn't like a PC either.
