Im a 33yr old gaming enthusiasts, and while I certainly enjoyed coming up part of a generation which was lucky enough to experience gaming from the introduction of the very first designed for home console, on up to the amazing advanced consoles we are all able to own in the present day... And while I just can't help but laugh when I see some person in the midst of a console war telling another person how inferior they believe their console to be in comparison to whichever of the two giants of the battlefront they happen to own themselves... As I read on, and read on, and yes, continue on reading some more... It always all but instantly occurs to me that more than likely, each and every individual who has taken a side and joined in the pages and pages, and yes, u guessed it more n more pages of one of these commentary "battles" which has insued .... They are almost indefinitely, not of an age which totals in enough years to have even provided them any insight as to just how amazing ANY ONE OF THE TWO (even that barely noted third one that came along prior to the two heavyweights of "next-gen" stepping into the scene) consoles they have been waring on for who only knows how many pages now, really are, nor what an improvement and advancement they BOTH are in comparrisson to that dusty Grandfather of them all who still sits in mine, and I'm sure MANY others closets to this very day!! And once I make it through all the chaos, to that single image in my head I have of me sitting on the floor infront of some tv that didnt even have a controller, only two knobs, with my brothers.... Its always then that I realize just how fortunate, as a gamer, I and they were to have been included in the entire evolution of it all as a whole and an entirety... And more than anything, it makes me sad to see so many of the later generations who are obviously missing the entire point of it ALL to begin with!! And thats to bring PEOPLE TOGETHER, AND ABOVE ALL, TO HAVE.............FUN!!!
I REALIZE MY COMMENT HERE MAY SEEM ALL BUT COMPLETELY OUT OF PLACE.... But, as a person who's seen all this whole "GAMING" thing from the beginning, and spend PLENTY too much time tapping away at some controller with no more than a stick n one, JUST ONE, lonely little button, to bring life to whatever game we mightve been franticly trying to best one n others best scores, as that game shown beautifully thru the screen of that two knobbed television surrounded in a huge and ornate, magnifacent wooden enclosure, which would earn words like "portable" being spoken, no more than a roomfull of laughter, and not even so much as a moments thought as being any possibility we might see in our lifetime!..... As one of the guys who made it here, from there.... I just have to say, don't get so caught up on trying to decide which set to buy, that u miss out on the fun all together!
Ive got a 42inch 1080p 60hz LED(LCD) tv, which was the cheapest in its class, and it looks better 2 years later, than the 1080p led 120hz 55inch toshiba my buddy just bought two weeks ago (HIS WORDS, EVERY TIME HE PLAYS AT MY HOUSE, NOT MINE!)..... So, a big pricetag doesn't in any way mean a "better" tv/picture..... Dont listen to too much hype, n get one that YOU LIKE!
