  4. Can i rate

    Wii*****

    PS3*****

    xbox360*****

    Ds lite***

    Psp*

  5. same as the ps3 the wii can surf the web. i would say the wii is the best out of the newer systems and the price hasnt changed three times like everything else. GO NINTENDO!

  6. why doesnt anyone give the DS a good grading?

  7. Wii is the best!!!

  8. the wii is the best

  9. I got a PS3 80-gig for Christmas, and as far as I am concerned, it is the best game system so far. The best game for it would have to be Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. The game starts out with combat, which is a major part of the gameplay. A small part is puzzle solving and death-defying stealth stunts. Anyway, back to combat. The aiming technique is over-the-shoulder camera, for guns, and there is a major role of close-combat, a.k.a. melee, in case someone gets too close for comfort. Which is any distance within a 200-mile radius. Sniper rifles, machine guns, pistols, and, my favorite, the Panzershreik. A.k.a, the rocket (or grenade) launcher. Those are just tips and a small taste of the game. Of course, you have to be fearless. Because there are monsters that look like zombies. Not Resident: Evil, but pretty close.

  10. We just got the wii sports. the games that came with it are boring. what can we play on it that is cool? I’m used to pc gaming – UT Serious Sam and the like…. I also like old style arcade games like joust

  11. Get the Wii!! It is amazing

  12. I have a Wii, it is the BEST!

    to the guy that said “360 has Xbox Live so you can download free demos and stuff. Plus u can play all kinds of xbox games on it. God Bless”

    that is incorect, i have a ps3, and it has the “online capability” you can litaraly go on scoutlife.org on it, you can download games and stuff, you can go on google , and hotmail.com…..but the xbox 360 cannot!! you can “play” online, but you cannot surfe and browse the web, as the almighty ps3 can do!!

    so , in conclusion!!

    THE PS3 ROCKS!!!

  16. here are my rateings wii ***** ps3**** ps2*** psp** ds*

  17. here are my ratings for all the systems; DS gets ***, PSP gets ****, PS3 gets ****, the 360 get *****, and the wii gets ****. \ / peace out

  18. but for handhelds i have the say GET THE PSP!!! hands down

  19. sorry peeps the 360 owns all others i have to edmit that the ps3 has the best graphics and the wii is very interesting but the 360 has the widest viriety of games and. it also has HALO 3 (TOTAL OWNAGE)

  20. GIVE ME A WII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  21. i have a ps2

    I would want the Wii(My cousin has the Wii)

  23. 360 has Xbox Live so you can download free demos and stuff. Plus u can play all kinds of xbox games on it. God Bless

  24. Xbox 360 has the best graphics and the most games. I would have to go with the 360. But if u dont care if the graphics are just a little bit weird and u have the money then get a PS3.

  25. Personally, I think that the Wii is the best because I like the backward-compatability thing, and the fact that you can actually MOVE and not be a couch potato. I rate the Wii ****

  26. my choice is totally the wii! its so AWESOME!!!!

  27. 2 PSP GAME 2 XBOX360

  28. OMG. wii! it so wii! i have 1, and its cool! get it! p.s. super mario galixy looks cool to!

  29. I am saving up for a Wii, the best system ever.

  30. wii because you won’t be carrying a big controller with you,plus u can make a lot more moves than the other game systems.

  31. The XBOX 360 did have overheating problems, but a stunning move by Microsoft has changed all that. First off, all new systems are equiped with new and better heatsinks to keep the CPU cooler. Also the warranty for overheating was extended to 3 years instead of 1.

    The library of backwords compatible games grows larger every day. Usually all you do is pop in the game, and it downloads the driver automatically.

    I suggest the 360, but it is not the best for everyone. My advice is to look around first, and play each system beforehand if possible.

  32. I have a PSP, and a PS2. The best fighting game I know of is BattleFront for PS2, it ‘s also on PSP.

  33. ps3 ps3 ps3 ps3 ps3 ps3 ps3 ps3 ps3 ps3 ps3 ps3 roooookkkkksss

  34. nitendo ds rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(p.s. my freind has a wii.

  35. The PS3 isthe BEST!!!!!!!!!!!! If you are even thinking about getting a PS3 don’t think twice. GET THE PS3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  36. “For me i like Nintendo DS Lite and Wii,the Nintendo DS lite has Two screen.WOW.It also can do Wi-Fi match.Wi-Fi match is when you play on the computer, just like now.But the Wii system can do more.You can make your own person and when you play a game the person will apere on the TV,the person is called a mii,i think. I also like that you can move the controle and like dance around,THATS COOL!!! You can also put a Nintendo Game Cube cd in and play Game Cube.But you have to have a Game Cube cd.I realy want to get a Nintendo Wii system and if you want to know how i know all of that Nintendo Wii facts i have played it and one more thing if you have a Nintendo Wii system you have to get My Sims, it is asome.But if you dont you have to get one man!!! P.s. i don`t have a Nintendo Wii sytem but i want one”

  37. i have a wii and it is da bomb

  38. THERE’S NO GAME CUBE’S MY FAVORITE GAME PLAYER!!

  39. The P.S.P. is the best. I had one until it got stolen.

  40. SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS` // December 16, 2007 at 12:49 am // Reply

    XBox 360 is the BBEESSTT!!

  41. The PSP and the PLAYSTAION3 are the best ever oh and the DS. 1. THE DS can text so that means I can text to my friends . 2. On the PLAYSTAION3 it gots cool games and graphics 3. Now the PSP it has cool games

  42. If you are looking for a new system get the psp it may say games mostly for a doults but it also has alot of good games for kids.

  43. I don`t have any of them , but I think DS is best.

    DS is great and all (I got mine the month they came out), but I decided to sell mine and use the money to get an ipod. I enjoy my ipod much more than i ever did for my DS, and besides, the only games worth getting (such as advance wars 2, it’s the best game ever) are GBA games.

  45. Nintendo ds and the wii might not be as powerful but they r awsome! the wii has somethin nothin else has: motion sensors so that u can play a game like u r acually them!

  46. I want to know, over all, which system is the best period

    The wii and DS are the best game systems in the world!

    I have played the wii before and it is cool!

    If you have a DS get Nintendogs.

  49. The DS and Wii are the superior systems. They may not have all the perks of the other systems, but with the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection, you can play with anyone on earth through wireless routers!

  50. THE WII ROCKS!!!
