    Re: Just curious... PS3 or XBOX 360?

    I've got neither at the moment. Buying an Xbox 360 would mean breaking my Microsoft boycott (six years strong!), but the PlayStation 3 is both crippled (the 40GB version has no PS2 backward compatibility for some reason) and ridiculously expensive (the aforementioned crippled 40GB model is the price of an Xbox 360 Elite!) so that's not really an option either. I do have a Wii though, which will likely last me long enough to see which of the two others prevails in the long run.

    Re: Just curious... PS3 or XBOX 360?

    I seriously dont think the XBOX is worth getting. It really pisses me off to think that they created a product that has such a reliability issue and haven't taken the time to really fix it and offer no solution to the problem that they know exist. I would advise you and everyone else to stay away from XBOX 360. My original Xbox lasted 4 years b4 i sold it. It still worked perfect, now there was a work of art.

    I am a huuuuuge halo fan version 1,2 and 3. I stopped playing mostly because of my hatred for the 360.

    Re: Just curious... PS3 or XBOX 360?

    We have many of both of them and I would say the XBOX 360 really worth it. Games really are better and the comparison are sad for the PS3.

    There's a lot of nice XBOX360 games only and the same thing goes for the PS3.

    Get both.

    Ps : I REALLY do hope some improvements in GT5 because at the moment FORZA 2 has a better driving feeling. This is way more important than graphics.

    PS3 ftw! Although there are only few good games right now, the PS3 will have a brighter future compared to the 360. *g*

    Do you actually realize how old is the XBOX360 ? and how the PS3 have difficulties to compete it ?

    The ps3 lives because of its fans and all that stupid hype.

    anyway the PS3 has something like 11 millions unit sold vs 18 for the xbox360. Since there's no sales for the Xbox360 in Japan ... the Xbox is doing great.

    Actually the PS1 had no real competitor ... since the PS2 really had no competitor at all ... we can't really say it's AWEEESOMMEEE.

    Now they have competition ... it's fun. It brings games out of Japan because Japan is no more the most important thing on earth in video games.

    I'm happy we're getting the games before them, I'm happy they are created here instead of there.
