Ah sure don't worry about it. We don't care that much!

Its all pretty much the same. I cant see how xbox live is better than PSN they are the same to me, playing COD online on xbox is the same as on PS3 which is all you want it to do anyway. All the other stuff is pointless, xbox has a pretty useless film feature( all fairly old and you have to rent them) and ps3 has a pretty useless music video feature( limited good videos and poor search feature). PShome is a huge boring ad.

xbox does some games a little better than ps3 ( bioshock, ghostbusters, orange box, fallout 3) this is because its easier to covert PC games to xbox than PS3. but again such tiny differences if anyone gets hung up on them they are silly goose.

PS3 has blue ray and internet which is good for me as i can then watch bluerays/TV on my big screen while i browse onthe laptop as i dont have a tv signal in the games room.

Exclusives are good and bad on both

xbox

gears 1&2 very good
Mass effect brilliant ( 2 will be awesome )
halo 3 terrible ( yea thats right im sick of this halo hype its an awfull game )

Ps3

Killzone very good
Unchartered brilliant but short ( unchartered 2 will be one of the best games ever made )
little big planet again over hyped nonsense a little fun for about 2 days.
Resistence 2 silly arcadey shooter.

ID go xbox if all you want is gaming if you think you want gaming + blueray and a console that has internet get the PS3.

I would go full spec anyway which ever you choose as digital downloads are taking off so a big hard drive will be needed.

If you want to waste 200 euro on a lump of crap that you will use for 2 days then never again get a wii.

I may be the only one here who feels it but I prefer the PS3 controller.

360 has a clear advantage when it comes to FPS games but when it comes to a beat-em-up or a Pro Evo game then the D-pad on the PS3 is a far better fir for me (The extra shoulder buttons are also quite important for PES).

It still sucks for beat'em ups though since comparing the PS3 d-pad to the 360 one is like saying do you want a pile of **** or do you want to be covered in it. If you are going to play them without any frustration you'll need another pad or stick.

I'm a 360 player myself for reasons already outlined in many posts above.

I just think that the poor Wii is getting an awful slating, fair enough Nintendo screwed up with the prevention of third party developers and their game selection over the past year is brutal.
I still think it's the more social of the gaming systems, the party and sport games make for great multiplayer fun, and for neurotic lone gameplay there's RE4, Zelda, Call of Duty WAW which ported well onto the Wii, just didn't have the shading detail of the other consoles.

The homebrew channel is class, some great media players and emulators on it. Wolfenstein 3d was even recently added, great fun with the wii controller.
It also allows video/audio streaming on the network with no codec issues and can read off any usb device you plug in, including my ipod which the xbox has yet to do.

Anyways, the original point, 360 all the way, it's only a matter of time before blu-rays can be streamed to it, in my opinion the only thing PS3 has 1up with.

Noodler, warning issued.

RayCaulwell, infraction. Stop getting into stupid arguments on the games forums. You were warned several days ago about it. Next time it's a week off.

Edit: If either of you have an issue with this, take it to help desk. DO NOT DISCUSS IT HERE.

Sorry if I was unsure with procedure. You did however make a public announcement as well as sending me a PM so I was clearly under the impression public was okay.
