Your not correct.

I don't think it is as simple as that. I was told that the earlier PS3s were built with the hardware to handle PS2 games. In order to save money Sony cut the hardware from the later models, the 80GB I bought in April is apparently not backward compatible.

http://thirdworldgeek.com/is-your-ps...rd-compatible/ If BC is important you could always buy an older PS3 second hand.

I know it is not your question, but I am an XBox 360 addict... Halo I, II, III, ODST, Halo Wars, and Half Life (several versions) and a big stack of "others."

Thanks for all the responses, I was hoping and expecting to get varied feedback.

Based on my loose counts the Wii seems to be the favorite, mostly for family or group play. I have a mixed outlook on the PS3 if backwards compatability is an issue.

If money was no object I like the one response that suggested all three.
I also have a very bad golf habit, so that isn't practical at the moment :)

Think I am leaning for the Wii as my first choice

Driver: X460 tour- 9.5*
3-wood: 3+ - 13*
Hybrid: BB HW 20*
Hybrid: 24*
Irons: X-20 Uniflex SteelWedges: Colonial 56* & 60*Putter: XG SabertoothBall: GPS-8âIf you are caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God...

The Wii is definitely fun. The only problem I would have with it is trying to play by myself, that seems like it'd be lonely and a little weird and sad, whereas playing alone on a PS3 or 360 would seem more normal to me. I may be in the minority on that but that's how I see it.

I have a Wii and it was a bad choice. The games are fun at first but not real re-playable. It gets old after a while IMO. If you like sports games like madden, NBA, or others it is definately not the right choice. Really depends on what you like to play.

WE ARE TALKING PLAYING GOLF HERE, RIGHT?

I would never want to play a firstperson shooter on a Wii, but sports has to be better when you are standing up and using your arms. Seriously, TW 10 is good and honestly tennis is amazing!

I love the Wii, it has a great mixture of kids and grow up games.

Its really fun if you buy the right games, Tigerwoods owns on the wii, if you like to drink with your buddies and play games get the wii.

I have a 7 year old and a wife so the wii is great. If i want to seriously play games i go on my computer.

PS3 hands down - you got the blu ray HD drive which is a plus and gaming hardware wise the playstation is stronger than the xbox or the wii. If you only want the motion controllers for golf and bowling and games like that then the wii is your system. If you want a versatile system the ps3 is the one to go for.

It really is a case if you want to be sociable (Wii) or have some alone time with the TV (PS3/360). My brother has a Wii at his place, and it's great fun to head over and play Wii Sports or TW10 on it because you can just screw around, have a couple and generally chat, something you can't do if it's 9-9 in a first-to-10 deathmatch on the latest Call of Duty or something.

The Wii really rubs salt in the wounds if you play solo though. I borrowed it to play the latest Zelda incarnation and whilst I did have fun, I felt a bit weird sat alone swinging my arms around.

Meanwhile, I am/was more than happy to sit on my own playing Devil May Cry 4.

It's a real toss-up.

      ShotScope LM1 ($200 Launch Monitor/Speed Radar)

      By Shindig · Posted

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
