Hi there,
I am a complete idiot when it comes to games consoles, and this is my first non-accidental trip into your part of the forum, so hi!
Firstly, no flaming each other and getting into fights, I have heard that this happens a lot over here.
OK, so I quite fancy getting a console to occupy some time, as I have learnt the devil makes work for idle thumbs, the hard way, as some of you will know. I haven't ever played a PS3, Xbox (XBOX? x-box? X-Box?) 360, or Wii, bar a 4 minute stint on each the Xbox where I played Pro-Evo and the Wii, where I did a touch of bowling.
I like the idea of a PS3. This is because they look nice. Also, I hear they play these new Blu-ray jobs, and are quiet. I also like F1, and believe they are the only console with F1 games. I hear they have a limited catalogue, but this doesn't bother me as I'd only own 2 or 3 games. I would like to play the new GTA, F1, and another good racing game, but we can spec me games later. Probably Pro-Evo too.
I have a terrible TV, it's about 15 inches big and as many years old. I may buy a new one when I move house, but that won't be for 6 months. Still haven't found a house (but sold this one! Eek.) I hope my tiny TV doesn't matter toooo much, it has a scart job at the back.
I won't play online, I find that a bit silly and it sounds like it could be hard to set up. I'm not very "down with the kids" when it comes to technology. Four controllers might be nice, but by no means essential.
Whatever I buy, should I buy it now? I had a look in a store today and they had lots of deal things and special offers, not sure if this is Christmas/Sales. Will they get cheaper? I've got a busy month ahead, so will be a few weeks before I can play.
Please don't flame each other, but chuck me all the basic advice you can! Feel free to treat me like an idiot. I am. I play my N64 a bit, but I need a new memory card and I don't think I can buy one any more.
Thanks!
