DaTank Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 (edited) I have a question for all you gamers: XBox 360 or Playstation 3? I sold my Wii last year and I'm looking to get one of those systems. Which system is better for sports games, particularly MLB 2K9? EDIT: I'm just going to open up a poll to help me decide.

EDIT: I'm just going to open up a poll to help me decide. the best baseball game for the new platforms IMO is MLB 08: The Show.....soon to be MLB 09: The Show....and they're only for PS3/PS2/PSP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Nick Swisher sighting in the screen shots for MLB 09.... The show is a great game, but I still miss MVP baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably be better off getting a PS3 when the price comes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostfan Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I just bought Prince of Persia: Sands of Time for the 360. I'm starting on Saints Row 2 finally, after I forced my stepdaughter to get it back after I figured out her lame-assed plot to "steal" it. Maybe it's just me, but this game really seems graphically scaled back a little from the first Saints Row. It's still a lot of fun though, I loved the first game.

You can find places to send your disc off to; this happened to my copy of Dead Rising and I got it fixed no problems but I can't recall where Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I have heard so many different disc fixing "techniques". From waxing your cd with car polish, giving the cd the old *huff* and rub it on your shirt, a disc doctor, lens cloth, there are so many different ways to do it. The best thing to do is the buy a used one and bring it back and say it was scratched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what you get for getting s***bomb games like Quantum of Solace (which I'm betting by the 360 rating of 5.5 just sucked across all platforms) that don't take advantage of the greatness of the Wii. My library is filled with great games that take advantage of what makes the Wii awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 (edited) The Wii had a terrible holiday line-up in 2008 so I will blame it for that. Granted, Nintendo has released it's big 5 (Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Smash and Kart) since the Wii's launch so it is hard to blame them. The ball is now in the 3rd parties court and their effort is so far looking good for 2009. I also want to see what Nintendo has in store for their other AAA franchise like F-Zero, Pikmin, and Kirby and Star Fox too.
