CAGiversary!
So Santa (my wife) has informed me that I will be recieving a console this year for Christmas. YAY! Only, she couldn't decide which to give me, so she is letting ME decide.
The budget is essentially $200 dollars, plus $100 or so in Gamestop money.
Now immediatly I think that's enough for a PS3, but I'm not sure that's what I want.
Some info:
I own a Wii and a Xbox 360
I usually play one game and then I am done with it after a few months (current game, Modern Warfare 2.)
I rarely keep games past these few months, except RB2 and Beatles: RB
I review games for a website occasionally, so it would be nice to have a PS3.
Now here are my Pros for each one:
PS3:
Opens up to games I cannot play
BluRay, something I've been wanting to buy ANYWAY (almost bought this week).
Free online play.
DSi:
I dont have ANY portable gaming device
My kids have DSi so we could share certain games
I would be able to get one or two games right away!
Now here are my Cons for each one:
PS3:
Higher cost, so I wouldn't be able to get ANY games to start
Online play not as robust as the 360
Would need to stay in the living room, might limit certain games
DSi:
Not a high amount of games I want to play, but a few great ones I've missed
I have a Ipod Touch I play portable games on, not sure if I would have a LOT of opportunities outside of the house to play portable games.
My kids already have one so I CAN play these games already.
So, that's where I am at. I am really stuck 50/50. Maybe owners of these systems can give me some idea on which they prefer?
