How can any of you deny that thePS3 is the gaming console of the future? Bluetooth, rechargeable controllers, smooth PSN interface, quiet fans, sleek design and the best games to be released. Wanna know why all the great titles have not been released yet? Because greatness takes time.

Take the 360. Its a hardware FAILURE. All you lems will experience a rrod before the next gen. And you cant say that the SONY camp didnt warn you. The Wii IS a gimmick and its a joke. You stand infront of a television hoping your vision doesnt go blurry because your dehydrated and playing Wii fit. Wanna excersise? Take a walk or play with a rubix cube.

Halo 3- Overrated. Some guy in a green tin can of armor runs around slapping midgets.

Forza 2- Cant compete with GT5 period.

Oblivion- Better on the PS3

Mass Effect- Fail of the year and well deserved. The game alone probably incites a rrod in the shoddy made 360's...

SMG- Wow, Mario in space and like his 45th game.

Metroid 3- Look at Halo 3 description and add (insert multi color armor here)

Resident Evil- A joke.

Basically the Wii is an upgraded Game Cube thats affordable to even those that work at a lemonade stand. It has jokes for games and the WiiMote is a gimmick and a RIPOFF of the wonderfull SIXAXXIS with motion control. Atleast the Sony techs use the latest teck in their controllers. And oh yea, DS3? OWNS ALL CONTROLLERS. 360 and Wii are last gen.

This gen started when WE SAID SO and thats with UNCHARTED. Get on the winning team.

You got it brother. Although Haze appears to be timed, it will be better on the PS3. Blu Ray is all I need to say...

The irony of your loss of the SW bet is that you state all of this which is all untrue and you're forced too. :(

Along with that the fact that Mass Effect still scored higher than Uncharted. :shock:

This is the reason i don't bet.

Sony gives you everything you need out the box. Wifi, Controller, and Large hd. With M$ you HAVE to buy 2 of those if you want to play wirelessly and have a large HD.

M$= Milkage... :lol:

I agree to a point but look at it like this. M$ is paying top dollar to the devs for this game. The devs rushed it to make it availabe for the 07 holiday season. It was rushed, has some graphical issues and its the devs fault. So you know what? "Teh Layzee DEVS!!"

Well, to be fair, the stuff that they had an issue with is very minor. Not only that, it's fixable via an update. But, yea, some of the issues shouldn't have been there to begin with. Wouldn't it be ironicif ME sold 1+ million making it a system seller? :shock:

Funny u say its pointless basically u are now just laughing at a lost bet which is what its here for. Ownage. Its all about owning people or literally doing in duel or Group bets where u can make ur own stipulations like its always been.

As you all know. Blu Ray is winning the format war like 10 to 1. I can disprove any link a random lem can post on this matter. Deal with it, hd dvd, M$, Nintendo are all things of the past. PS3 and Sony is the wave of the future and it shows.

You got it brother. Although Haze appears to be timed, it will be better on the PS3. Blu Ray is all I need to say...

Haze on the PS3 will be at least 5hrs longer and have 10 extra maps!

Really? This doesn't seem like much of a strong arguement at all. I doubt that you've played any of the games you're criticizing. One general rule of gaming is to NEVER criticize a game you've never played.

I see no logic. Keep living in that tiny little bubble of your's. The PS3 has no AAA exclusive and no reason to buy it over the competition. It hasn't delivered on any of its promises, and has sacrificed several key factors to please people, pissing them off even more. In other cases, they just made a dumb move that was blatantly obvious, such as not packaging DualShock or nixing the price cut SKU. A hypocracy wrapped under the thin guise of idiocy. A very thin guise. In fact, it's seran-wrap.

Hah this is entertainment folks. You know he would never say this stuff and the effort involved is quite funny.

BTW does anyone even read the title of a thread before clicking on it?
