Which games console to keep me off my feet?
« on: May 30, 2011, 04:04:00 pm »
Now then fellas it looks like I'll be having another operation on my knee later on in the summer which is going lay me up for 8-12 weeks so I'm looking for advice and opinion on which games console to buy to keep me out of trouble and off my feet. I'm mainly interested in the car/motorbike racing and probably football games and I'm also interested in a steering wheel type controller. So which console? which games? and which steering wheel? do you lot recommend, thanx :happy2:

The xbox fanboys will tell you one thing and the ps3 lot the other!!  :laugh:

I think they are both fairly comparable but games and online is the only real difference. Tough one matey but I'd have a ps3 purely for the blu ray!  :happy2:

Xbox for me with Forza Motorsport and PGR on the driving front which are Xbox specific.

If you go PS3 then you get Gran Tourismo however the Xbox is cheaper.  :laugh:

There are a massive choice of games that are shared across the platforms but I mainly play the Call of Duty series.

As for a wheel I don't use one so can't really comment.

xbox has sky player so you can use it to watch sky if you have an account.
I prefer the xbox controller but you need to take into account that you have to pay to go online with xbox

If you go online with PS3 your account will be hacked and the service off the air for weeks.  :innocent:  :laugh:
