Blimey, I must be a nerd. The only box I didn't tick was the last one.

I just wish I actually had the time to use them!

Re: Which of the following do you own and use to play video games?
Yeah, it's surprising there's more people playing games on a PS3 than a PC. With all the PC gamers and all the PS3 gamers who use their PC to play solitaire/flash games I'd have expected the PC to be way ahead.

I guess the AVforum regulars just aren't flash addicts :D

Re: Which of the following do you own and use to play video games?
Well, I own 360 and PS3, but I'll never own as many games for PS3 as 360. They simply aren't good enough and are few and far between. It IS just a BD player for me.

Also ticked PSP, does it count if I havent played a game on it in over a year though?!

Motorstorm, Resistance, F1... and the fact that it's a games console with no games, the only good ones are multi-platform and are on either PC or 360

Re: Which of the following do you own and use to play video games?
My main game-playing device is my 360, but I also play games on my PC (mainly oldies like Freelancer and Guild Wars), PSP (mainly Football Manager), DS (Pokemon) and PS2 (actually mainly used for PS1 games now - Hogs of War and Final Fantasy 8/9

Re: Which of the following do you own and use to play video games?
Our family just tends to get them when they come out. Keeps everyone quiet.

Personally I prefer the PS3, but I might be slightly biased by Gran Turismo.

But I still think it's a better console. It's cooler and more reliable than the X360, which only really beats it at online play, and those two dwarf the Wii, which I still maintain is for kids and parties only.

Wow the PS3's ahead here, not like on many other forums. I guess Blu Ray edges it on a forum full of AV nuts

Re: Which of the following do you own and use to play video games?
I would guess a lot of us wanted a relatively future proof machine which the PS3 is as it updates itself. Besides who need loads of games when it has GT Prologue which for £20 is the best game bargain I have ever bought. Everyone I know that has a 360 has had it back for repair some more than once. Being a SKY HD owner I have enough issues with that.

Nice poll Stuart and the results so far are suprising but then it needs a lot more votes to be truly representative.

Interesting stuff indeed. Not sure what you mean by the PS3 updating itself though? They all do that, surely?

p.s. I think I'm somehow one of the few people who've never had to send my 360 back, in spite of kicking it over a couple of times

I'd say if it wasn't for RE4, Mario Kart and SuperMario Galaxy, you'd be right.

Re: Which of the following do you own and use to play video games?
I use the 360 for gaming, the PS3 only get's used for BD movies after the huge let down that was GT5 Prologue (wake up Sony). If Wipeout HD isn't up to scratch, it'll be sold for funding of a dedicated BD player. Soon i'll get a Wii, as it's all about fun rather than serious gaming. And we all need fun
