to NEX: There is only one proper console and that is the Xbox. Most of the games on PS3 are only hd ready (720p) compare to full high def on Xbox (1080p). Why? Its very hard to develop games on ps3 so they are made for xbox and then converted to ps3. so, you will never experience the full potential of ps3 hardware on most games unlike the full Xbox experience. feel sorry for you
to the other bit you said about xbox. over heating issues are past. that power supply is in fact converter from 240/120 volt (Europe/us). HD DVD never had future.
i think you will find that the ps3 runs almost all of its games in true 1080p HD whereas the 360 runs at 720p with a lot of antiailiasing and antistroping thus sythesising the "true hd" experience.
the ps3 is a better console. it lasts longer... it is more powerful, it has never had a recall!!! you can connect to a wireless network out of the box, it plays blue rays.... it is a full on home entertainment system... not just a console. the 360 is no more that a glorified doorstop that plays to the "msn" generation. if you want to "connect with friends" go down the pub or better yet... use your phone!!! if you want to play the best looking and best playing games around.... get a ps3.
oh and the ps3 and xbox games are almost identical..:laugh:
Personally I prefer the console of 'Real Life'.
NO games console will EVER be as good as reality IMO, I prefer to go out and do things than play games.
I have had a go on the 360, some wargame, anyway I found the controller wasn't reacting to my movements quick enough and I was always getting shot. In reality I would've 1) heard the attack coming cos there wouldn't be a stupid soundtrack playing, and 2) turned my gun round quick enough to shoot my attacker.
Someone let me know when they build a system that can process information faster than my brain, and then remove the need for me to send my commands through a controller.
I'm sure you are wondering what my point is, there's no point arguing about which console has 'slightly less worse' representation of life.
Trying to sell my 360 at the mo on facebook/skylineowners, not a sniff. Doorstop I rekon.
