Handheld Game System Xbox

Which game system should I get?

My xbox is getting old and im thinking of buying a new system. I have a psp, so im not looking for a handheld. Which system has a lot of good games? PS2,PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, etc.

I would advise getting the PS3.

1) Blu-ray technology is becoming the latest craze nowadays and i can tell you that movies look AMAZING in it. A Blu-ray player costs up to $600 so you get it pretty much for free with the bundle.

2) There has been a recent price drop in the console. It is now $299.99, the exact same price of an Xbox 360.

3) Playstation network is not only free but very easy to use. You can download HUNDREDS of game demos for free as well as wallpapers and themes to customize your background. Xbox Live costs $60 dollars a year! People say Xbox live is better than PSN but there is nothing you can do on the Xbox 360 that you can't do on the PS3

4) People are saying Xbox has more exclusive titles but I really don't think so. The only main ones are the Halo 3, Gears of War series, and Halo 3 ODST (which was a huge waste of money). The PS3 has titles that last. PS3 has Ratchet and Clank series, Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, Motorstorm series, LittleBigPlanet, and Massive Action Game.

5) The fail rate for PS3's are unbelievably low. It's less than 3%. Xbox 360's fail between 16%-33% of the time.

6) The PS3's Sixaxis controller is really, really cool. In some games you can control cars, motorcycles, helicopters just by moving the controler in your hands. Not only that but the Xbox controller runs on batteries so if they run out you have to stop your game and go get new ones. If a PS3 controller runs out of energy you plug it in and keep on playing.

I went through the same problem as you did and I was very happy with my decision.

WonderSwan Clear Black Handheld Console ~ B&W/Monochrome Display (Japanese Import Video Game System) WonderSwan Clear Black Handheld Console ~ B&W/Monochrome Display (Japanese Import Video Game System)

Only released in Japan, the WonderSwan was Gunpei Yokoi's next system after designing the Virtual Boy for Nintendo (he also created the Game Boy system and the Metroid series). The original WonderSwan features a monochrome display (better than the green Game Boy screen) and runs on just one AA battery!

The WonderSwan Crystal plays all WonderSwan games. The game library is rich and varied, and this is the best version of the WonderSwan to get. This system is beautiful ~ sleek, compact, and with a great clear, bright screen.

This is one handheld that rivaled the Game Boy in Japan, which is why it's a shame that it was never released in the U.S.! Tons of great games are available for this black & white screened system including Final Fantasy I, II & IV, Riviera, two titles from the SaGa series, two Mega Man (aka Rock Man) titles, and many more!

Gaming with Zune HD: Can it take on PSP, iPhone, DS?

While there's no shortage of handheld game systems on the market--the Nintendo DS and DSi are still selling well and the PSP continues to hang in there, while the App Store expands its catalog every minute--one of the seemingly no-brainer bets in the mobile gaming realm hasn't happened yet: the Zune.

We say "no brainer" for several reasons:
* Microsoft has a successful gaming platform in the Xbox 360, emphasizing online and downloadable gaming.
* Microsoft, compared with Sony and Nintendo, is best able to take on Apple in terms of a media-management software store and the ability to build an equivalent music/games/movies catalog, and making that product PC compatible.
* The Zune HD now plays games.

The first point is obvious. The second is debatable, but we say this because Sony, while having a decent media library on PSN, just isn't historically great at building cross-platform software for syncing the PSP, and Microsoft's global software reach is simply stronger. The third is technically true--Microsoft launched a small collection of completely free-to-play, ad-supported games for its OLED-screened Zune HD last month, and one of them happens to be an adaptation of Project Gotham Racing.

It's an interesting prospect (and one we've wondered about before) because the Zune HD processor, an Nvidia Tegra, has both HD processing muscle and 3D graphics capability. We downloaded and played with all the Zune HD games currently available--all 12 of them--with some curiosity to see if the Zune could compete as a game device.

Overall, the Zune HD games are similar in quality to iPod Touch and iPhone titles. The Zune HD has an accelerometer and multitouch, just like the iPod Touch, but its screen is smaller, making controls even harder without feeling ham-handed. Now, in fairness, all of the Zune's games are free, and thus many are of demo quality. PGR, with its Ferrari branding, is a pared-down game, a "lite" version. Still, the track graphics and controls are impressive, and definitely Touch quality. Other games, like Audiosurf Tilt (which generates tracks to music) and a Texas Hold 'Em, are better than most freebies but are titles we probably wouldn't pay more than a few bucks for.

The most obvious idea would be to expand the Zune HD in size slightly, add a physical controller (perhaps similar to the sliding PSP Go), and then open up a Zune game marketplace that syncs with Xbox Live. A big move toward this being a possibility was the recent Xbox 360 update that opened up a Zune marketplace on the 360 dashboard. While it currently doesn't offer games, Microsoft already allows Zunes and Xbox Live accounts to share digital funds for transactions, opening up a smooth doorway to a mobile game console ecosystem.

The current Zune HD is so small--smaller than a PSP Go or an iPod Touch to a significant degree--that Microsoft could even sell a clip-on gamepad (with a speaker, preferably) and still have a portable device that wasn't bulky. And its price is competitive with the PSP, iPod Touch, and Nintendo DS, at $219 for a 16GB model.

Would you want a Microsoft Zune/Xbox handheld? I'd say the answer would be yes, provided it actually used physical controls. And if they were able to corral the Xbox Live Arcade development community (and even the XNA indie crowd) to make games, it could catch on much faster than anyone might expect.

Right now, the Zune HD isn't a game platform. But, even in its current form, it could be with a simple strategy shift. The question is, is there room for another mobile gaming platform?
