Gears of War, Halo 3 and Mass Effect. Two of these did not disappoint and I bought the system about a month after Gears came out. It's currently dead (1st time) but I hope to have it back soon.

Dead Rising and Gears of Wars, that did it.

But what actually made me get a 360 was that the imported US Core systems were on sale.

I choose 360 because shooters and western RPGs are my favorite style of games and 360 is the console that has the best in those areas.

Shooters- 360 has the 3 best console shooters out . Halo 3, Bioshock, Gears and many more to come. heck even got orange Box out 2 months before PS3 and with Valve making it not EA. Killzone 2 or Haze will prolly not hold a candle to these games.

Western RPGs- Mass Effect, Fable, and many others. I like JRPGs but not near as much as western ones

Wii: Twilight Princess, Wii Sports, other nintendo 1st party games

360: I have no idea why I suddenly bought it, perhaps it was because I knew Gears was being released in a few months, or maybe it was thoughts of halo 3 eventually. More then likley it was because I realized a price drop wasnt coming so there was no point to continue holding back.

PS3: Still waiting for KH3 so I don't own a ps3 yet. Also I know a ridiculous price drop will arrive in 3 years or so, about the time it will take for KH3 to arrive.

I got a PS3 at launch and it's was slow going at first for games, but the dry spell is over. Games are coming out faster than I can afford them. Here is what I own. Resistance, Motorstorm, F1, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Warhawk, Rainbow 6:Vegas, Oblivion, GRAW2 and Heavenly Sword. All great games worth the purchase. I'm really looking forward to Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, SOCOM, Haze, Unreal Tournament, Wipeout HD, Gran Turismo, KillZone 2, Final Fantasy, Singstar, Eye of Judgement and of course Metal Gear. PS3 is also getting some quirky games that I'm looking forward too, Echochrome, Everyday Shooter, Little Big Planet, Pain, etc are a few.. Oh forgot Rockband, which is really going to break the bank this year. It's cross platform but looking forward to that one too.

I got an Xbox 360 for Halo 3, Gears of War, Bioshock, and Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. I feel that for my interests the 360 has a bit of a dry spell coming up, but that's ok because I want to go back and spend more time with these great games. Besides, one of my favorite series of all time has a new iteration coming out, Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation. And of course there's Fallout 3 and Resident Evil 5, if it ever comes out.

PC-The Witcher, Dragon Age (i'm an SPRPGs lover and an MMORPGs hater)

DS-Super Mario 64 DS (haven't played SM64), too many games to list. Simply put, it is the successor to the gameboy, the best handheld.

As far as current games.

Oblivion. It runs smoother and looks better on PS3. I've wanted to play this game ever since it was first annouced and I didn't have the funds to build a PC that will run it at uber quality. Either way.. I wanted to play Oblivion in the best way possible w/o breaking the bank.

Then there is Resistance. The Xbox fans try to bash it and say Perfect Dark is better (they have the console FPS god that is Halo so why they defend Perfect Dark is beyond me). But anyways! It's imaginative weapon design, challenging campaign, and great use of physics really drew me in.

Future games?? Gran Turismo 5 and Metal Gear Solid 4.

Well... I got my 360for Christmas 2006. Because I didn't want someone to spend over 600 euro on a Playstation 3 with hardly any games (yet) :/

Also: Gears of War, Halo 3, Dead or Alive 4 =)

The major point that made me go PS3 is FF13 aside from that I also like the hardware better for the PS3, but games are pretty evenly spread in terms of quality exclusives between 360. I also still plan to pick up a 360 right as they are going out to I pick up all the great games I'll miss for cheap.
