I'm still waiting to see an xbox360 or whatever new comes out on a nice high def TV set... all old consoles just look like crap to me, since i'm used to the higher resolutions of PC games...

gameplay is good on some console games, but having good graphics is still important, and 640x480 on a TV doesn't cut it...

seeing as you can't vote for more then one in 'Previous Generation(s)'

i chose the N64 but otherwise i would have picked the snes, n64 and dc.

for current generation i picked personal computer because of the veriety you can get

but i could have picked the ps2 and xbox aswell if i could because i like them both,

although i don't actually own a xbox (:()

and for the next generation i picked the revolution because i think that

is the only true 'next-gen' console with the different idea's they are

trying to pull off, but i also very greatly like the 360, but i'm not

too sure about the ps3 just yet.

and yes i know how its best all time, but i really like alot of the consoles listed there >.<

Rev/DS/N64 :D

I have a PS2 and it's great too, mainly because of DVD playback support out of the box and a very wide selection of games, but I picked DS almost on impulse because it's got so much of a fun factor and innovation. And the Nintendo Revolution looks great too :)

I voted Nintendo Revolution / Nintendo DS / Nintendo Entertainment System

No doubt, I was born and raised Nintendo.

Seriously, if anyone actually seriously votes for the Xbox as an all time best gaming platform, either it was your first and only gaming system or well ... hell I dunno lol. I feel sorry for you though.

Easily the Playstation 1. Such classics like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen, Final Fantasy VII, Star Ocean: The 2nd Story, Parappa the Rapper, Twisted Metal 2, Tekken 3, Suikoden, FF Collection, Valkrie Profile, Final Fantasy Tactics, etc.

I cut out A LOT first of all :pinch: ...Second, I could go about naming a bunch of games from NES or N64 that simply revolutionized the gaming world. Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong...They're ALL still in the new games, which makes you think, doesn't it :blink: ? Nintendo has been sticking to the SAME characters for over 20 years, and look, they are at the top of the gaming industry. I'm sorry if I am ranting, but for God's sake, Super Mario Bros. was the beginning! The birth of gaming :woot: ! I think all the credit of best gaming platform should go to an older system like NES or N64. Without them, none of the systems now wouldn't even be known to man.

and blah blah lol. Hell, its pretty close but hmmmm ... the playstations have definately given me TONS of great gaming classics but I think with the new classics like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, the incredible DQVIII and many other titles the PS2 wins the best overall gaming machine in my personal opinion. Then the PS1 and then the SNES.

Super Nintendo .. those were the days ... good damn do we need to get some nice 2D games back, Super Mario World, Zelda: A Link to the past, Chrono Trigger ... only if publishers weren't obessed with good graphics these days they'd realize a nice 2D would sell well

I can only predict that the PS3 will be better than the horrible XBOX, and very promising Revolution. As it will keep the same 3d party support I assume. I can't say anything else about that.

Currently, PS2 gets my vote. I hate most of the PC games out now, nothing going for it at all. PS2 is better than XBOX, and Gamecube put together, for one simple reason: I'm an RPG fanboy.

SNES wins the all time console award. It beats everything current, and probably in the future combined. Here's the reason: Best FF ever (6), Chrono Trigger, SD3, Romancing Saga III, ToP, Tactics Ogre, Bahamut Lagoon, FFIV, Super Metroid, Zelda III, Earthbound, and the list gets bigger and bigger.

I voted for Xbox 360 as the best next-generation platform (I believe the PS3 is very overhyped and I just can't get excited about the Revolution), the Xbox as the best current-generation platform, and the Nintendo 64 as the best previous-generation plaform (Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask! :D).

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
