Definetly Xbox 360. It was the first console to introduce Achievement Points, which I think is one of the greatest innovations a console has ever brought to gaming. Think about it. Before achievements points, at least for me, once a game was beaten rarely would I play it again. It made games more challenging and rewarding. I also think the 360 controller is the best controller ever made for a console. Plus nobody even comes close to Xbox Live's service. I have a PS3 also, but if a game comes out for both systems, Im getting it for the 360. Plus the exclusives are the best.

  1. Xbox 360. It has amazing exclusive games that are much better than PS3's exclusives. The online has more features and is worth the extra Caching. I also think the accessories are much better.

  3. Probably the SNES. It's the most nostalgic console for me, because I was pretty young when I had my NES, and the SNES era was when gaming really got its hooks into me.

  4. SNES. I can still remember my days as a kid, watching the clock at school, just waiting until I could get home and play Contra, Super Mario World, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario Kart and so many other awesome games. Easy pick for me.

  5. It's a toss-up between the Megadrive and the Saturn. Sonic 3, Toejam & Earl and Panzer Dragoon Saga are probably my favourite games of all time.

  6. I was surprised with myself. I was an anti-xbox person for the longest time. But I got hooked on my younger brothers and went out and bought my own. I love it, the games that have been coming out for it have been great! I also never knew online play could be so much fun, except for the annoying people you get but I have made some awesome friends over it. I was actually hoping the PS3 was gonna be my favorite cause I was always a PS fan, PS and PS2 had such great games that I was expecting so much more then what the PS3 has come out with. They remake 360 games which bothers me and I wish they would make their own original games. The Wii overall my biggest disappointment. They have only come out with a few brand name title games like Zelda, Metroid, and Mario. Yet I hate how they are making all these other games and making it go to a totally different demographic of people. Nintendo use to be high up there and they just seem to be going down hill for me.

  7. SNES. The amount of amazingly high quality games on that system is crazy. Chrono Trigger, Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Metroid, Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario RPG, Mega Man X series, Breath of Fire series, Star Fox, Super Mario Kart, Final Fantasy series...the list just goes on and on.

  8. It's a toss-up between SNES and Xbox 360. I had lost a lot of interest in console gaming up until I got a 360 a couple years ago. I love the diversity of games offered, downloadable content, the arcade, the achievements system, and of course, Netflix integration. I canceled my cable and hardly ever watch tv anymore thanks to it. I also still go back and play my favorites from the SNES catalog. I like those games just as much now as I did when I originally played them as a kid.

  9. I've owned almost every system (except the PS3), and by far my favorite is the PSP. Why? I hacked it and I've got a 4 gig memory card with nearly every 8 and 16 bit game on it. Hell yeah.

  10. This one is easy. I've had an Xbox360 for 3 years now. When I bought it the game selecting was the best in the business. On top of that, the games looked amazing on the system. Then, after 11 months I was hit with the 3 rings of death. At first I wasn't really upset but then when I found out the procedure to repair it with Microsoft I became upset. Then I find out that 1000's of other Xbox 360 owners were experiencing the same thing. OK, sent it in for repair. Got back a refurbish unit but it worked. Then8 months later the same thing happen, the 3ROD. I was now steaming because I just got 2 new killer games for Gamefly in the mail but knew I couldn't play them for 5 weeks. So, I told my wife, that is it. I'm buying a PS3 as a backup. So we went down to Best buy and bought the 80g model.
    It was the best move I made. PS3 is hands down the better system going forward. Even game selection is and looks better going forward.

    Think I'll watch a Blueray movie now:)
