PlayStation 4

Because of the time zone differences and the fact that the US and Japan are the biggest markets, its quite funny that the news orgs will assume that an announcement was going to be this morning. In fact it won't be till late tonight.

So afraid you won't see any 'accurate' stories on it unless you are up late tonight

Hopefully today should be a pretty easy day since Im done with all my work

I started off on a Vic 20 ........ top that!

I had a ZX80, which came out - suprisingly - the year before the ZX81!

Sega megadrive when i was growing up 

with none other than sonic ofcourse

I have a life..doesn't that trump all your boy toys

So clearly Jason is in his late 20's lol ..........

how did you guess 

I now have the sega theme tune as an earworm thank you jason

If you are looking for pick up and play party type games, I'd go with the Wii. If you want to play anything for more than an hour go for the Playstation.

Although if you were looking to shell out the big bucks for the PS4 (And you can wait that long) I'd wait for the Xbox 720 due by christmas. The Xbox has way better online game capabilities and stability wise has been much better than the PS3.

Breaking news: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-21479858 I'm thinking of getting a games console... Does anybody have a view on which is better out of the Wii and the PlayStation?

If you mean WiiU and PS4 then nobody really knows what the PS4 will bring to the table. Although most seem to think it'll be going down the high power route and some rumours of adding a pointless touch screen to the pad as the WiiU has.

If you mean the Wii and PS3, depends what you want. The PS3 is far more powerful, plays blu-rays/dvd and is a good media centre. The games tend to be more of the traditional sort. The Wii is fine if you like waggle, personally I thought it was a short lived gimmick and wouldn't be surprised to find most now gathering dust once the limited appeal of Wii Sports wears off. Graphically the Wii is pretty poor as it's roughly the same specification as its predecessor the Gamecube which is 2001 technology.

On the Xbox360 vs PS3 thing. It's true the 360 online service is better but it's also a pay for service, so only really worth it if you are an avid online gamer. The PS3 online service is free.

I will be waiting for the Xbox.....we never progressed from the PS2...had 4 of them in the house............but the PS3 didn't tick the boxes and so have moved to the xbox.only 3 of those though

games console

what's one of them then???

ah - that explains why I don't have a games console

I see the Troglodytes have gained internet access. I guess their lives are now so meaningful they can waste time posting on running forums now!
