Hi All,
In Late 2016, might seem a bit odd I am asking about 5 yr old consoles and reason is as under:
(1) Buying this for my college going nephews and dont feel like plunking down 40K for PS4
(2) they have been playing a modded Wii for past 8 yrs and I have 20 of the top 25 wii games - so they have played most of the kiddish games and i want them to graduate to 'adult' games
(3) I plan to buy a 480p projector - again not hi-tech but this one has good ratings on amazon and costs 5000 bucks..so whats to complain
https://www.amazon.co.uk/ELEPHAS-Co...&qid=1473736576&sr=8-4&keywords=led+projector
(4) hence i dont want to worry so much about perfect colors and good frame rates and all that
Normally most of what I have is brought from US and Europe, but on Amazon India I found PS3 and Xbox 360 available for 15K which is not that bad and worth it given local guarantee
I want them to play this for 2-3yrs- then they can graduate to 1080p projectors and PS5 or XB720 or whatever comes in the future
Hence from elcheapo perspective between these two which is better or there is another version of these consoles?
Things I really care about
(a) availability of cheap games - but good ones like unchartered, assassinscreed..etc. I know some of these are console specific
(b) ability to mod and play downloaded games for free - i know its illegal and all that - i will buy few games - have no isues downloading few as well
(c) since output is going to a 480p projector or lets say a 50inch 1080p TV - I am guessing both of these output to 1080P and hence should not be a problem
(d)what other things should I be worried about?
