Which gaming console should you buy?


Which console to buy has becoming increasingly more complex? It's now not simply a case of picking the one with the top games or the next generation console/upgrade of the one you already have. The main consoles to choose from are the PSP3, Wii and the Xbox 360.

If you read my Wii review it describes this console as the most ground breaking when it was first released changing the course of gaming for years to come and spawned the newer controllers from its competitors. Since this original review Nintedo have improved its original Wii Remote, with the MotionPlus for an improved/increased accuracy. The Wii is great value if the type of games and controller appeal to you, a very good alternative to the other power-strong consoles.

If high grade graphics is what you're after, you should be looking at the Xbox 360 or the PS3. The PS3 specification boasts the best console graphically and is free to play online. The unit also doubles as a Blu-ray player and the PlayStation Move controller gives a wireless experience similar, if not better than the Wii MotionPlus.

The Xbox 360, on the other hand have a system called Xbox Live for online use, which does unfortunately come at a cost financially (but it is very reputable). The most interesting feature is its newest form of its controller, which is something a little different called 'Kinect', a controller less system that allows the users' body movements and speech to directly interact with games, like spinning a roulette wheel in a casino. A highly ambitious project leaving us in intense anticipation of its final results.

An in depth comparison can be seen in my console comparison review.

Red Nintendo Wii launched for Mario anniversary

Wii goes red for Mario:
To celebrate the quarter centenary of Nintendo’s flagship overall-wearing plumber, Ninty is to release a Super Mario 25th anniversary branded limited edition red Nintendo Wii console.

First hitting the NES way back in 1985, Super Mario Bros has become a golden memory of the gaming industry with the two tiny Italians making numerous returns across generations of gaming platforms. As well as coming in a lusty red hue, much like Mario’s trademark clothing, the limited edition Wii will come with a similarly coloured Wii Remote Plus controller and an inbuilt copy of the Super Mario Bros game.
A limited edition of the Wii console from Nintendo will be released early November. The console is red and was put on the market to celebrate the 25th year anniversary of Super Mario Brothers. The game console is being sold on amazon.com $199.99 and is a limited edition.

The Wii Red limited edition is being called one of the best valued games for the holidays. “Whether shoppers want to add a cool new look to their gaming setup or expand their supply of controllers with an exciting game, Nintendo offers a great value for the holidays,” said Marc Franklin, Nintendo of America’s director of Public Relations. “For anyone who is still on the fence about whether to join the world of video games, we’re offering many fun, easy, economical ways to get involved.” The Wii game comes with two games including Super Mario Brothers and Wii sports. The bundle also comes with the famous motion sensor controller that makes games like Super Mario Brothers and Wii Sports more interactive.

There is a 1 yr protective warranty sold with each Wii console. The console uses advanced Bluetooth technology and allows for up to 4 players to play at a time. This game is designed for family and friends to play together. The Wii console also allows for other games to be downloaded online and played.
