This is a sequel-article to one of my gần đây các bài viết which was a giant rant about the apparent crappiness of the 360. I think it's fair to say I made it out to be the greatest rip-off on the face of the Earth. EVERYTHING is different once bạn have got your vàng Membership, there's so much new stuff to download and re-theme your screen. That is, once you've got past the torturous set-up of the internet connection and membership.

My horrible journey started with trailing a giant ethernet cable across my living room (from PC to 360) and digging a nail into the tường above the door frame to serve as a shelf for the cable. The tiếp theo part was a tedious task which could have been mistaken for setting up a freaking bank account.

After giving the 360 a brief life-story, I thought it was almost done, but then.... over-protective disaster struck. The 360 came to the ridiculous conclusion that I was a 7 year-old child on a quest to find new swear words and rude pictures (even though I'm only a few months away from being able to legally buy every gory, horrific DVD in the world). This resulted in having to set up a whole new account for my mum, so she could "supervise" what I was able to access. After much Live ID creating and mật khẩu Recovering, we finished the connection set-up. The damned PC-look-alike 360 Elite was ready to download the latest gaming news, pictures, trailers, films, and blast the heads off people as far as Australia.

The 360 is amazing, if bạn have the mental stamina of Stephen Hawkings and the budget of Bill Gates.

MY CONLCLUSION AS TO WHICH NEXT-GEN CONSOLE IS THE BEST IS...... completley dependent on your wallet.

If bạn want a cheap little console which has the basic online features and mediocre games, then choose the Wii. If you've saved up for blooming ages and decided to splash it out on fantastic quality games and features, choose the 360. Unfortunatley I can't give my opinions on the PS3 because the few times I've used it I was playing GTA4 (gangsters & glitches) and Resistance (your average, generic, run-of-the-mill FPS).

If you're a REALLY casual gamer, buy the Wii. If your a hardcore gamer, hoặc just an average gamer.... STILL buy the Wii and a hardcore console (PS3/360). I know it sounds strange, but the Wii is the new, dart-board, the new pinball, the new...... entertainment thingy bạn hiển thị off at parties! The hardcore consoles are thêm a combination of a games machine and a PC.

So there it is, my opinions in a..... <scans article> rather large nutshell. Feel free to tell me I'm full of crap, hoặc tell me to shut the tin giờ chót up; but please do so nicely :)
