Depends what you want to re-enact? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
In which case you need a Wii.
Wii-enactment is very popular these days - MoH, CoD etc. Apparently it gets you used to ALL the guns :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

How do you manage to play with an X-Box... you need 2 thumbs and at least some hand to eye co-ordination! :D
It's not real... it's called re-enacting!

X Boxes have had bad reviews especially the 360, apparantly they overheat and within time
shut down altogether, the manufacturers were supposed to iron out the wrinkles but so far
on the PC grapevine haven't heard anything unless anybody on here has???, stick to the PS3
more safer and cheaper in the long run plus there are more variety of "shoot em up" and WW2
games available in this model, just my two cents worth!!

My 360 has never overheated and I've had it since they were launched in the UK. It doesn't have the ability for Blueray, but normal DVDs are great which are also upscaled on a HDTV and games play in HD too :) Plus great games like the Halo series, Call of Duty games, Battlefield Modern Warfare & Battlefield Bad Company games, Gears of War games, Medal of Honour games and Tom Clancy Ghost Recon games to name just a few and all playable onlive with xbox live :)

Live the dream ;)

Also don't forget. if your partner complains you spend too much time on ridiculous forums chatting to idiots who like to play dress up, she'll long for the good old days when it was only the forums once you start playing Modern Warfare on-line.

Chris its her idea of getting one as she says that you dont get a good selection of games for the PC any more.

Im a 360 lad all the way. But this is only due to the fact that I prefer the xbox controller. The Ps3 has far more power and better performance. This shows in the latest games that look poor on the 360 but not on ps3. I happend across this the other day though :D

ps3 or xbox? LOL neither! use your pc, if you cant play anything upgrade the graphics card, simulators and good reenacting games are only on PC, for example, red orchestra men of war, il2 sturmovik etc.

X-Box for sure!!! Them just overheating and dying (red rings) is just BS.......I mean when there is no user error. The one advantage is that ps3 has online for free (although it is currently shut down after being hacked).....(it`s free because it has low security)
