Well, all this talk about "next generation" and "high definition" and "high-tech super power stations" and "ps3 being able to do 20trillian calculations per second (impressive!)" finally got me up of me arse and go next-gen.

The PS3 is brilliant, stunning visuals, gameplay is rendered with breath-taking realism and a supercool controller.... i wish i had one :( . But anyways, thats besides the point... i got a 360! and i love it! I bought a gears of war bundle pack and i cant get enough of it, gears of war is easily the best game i've ever played, its a milestone in the gaming industry and sets the new standards for games all over the world.

I also set up my xbox live account. Its brilliant. The fact you can make friends over console games and send messages and all that shtuff just does it for me. AND UNO!

But the thing that surprised me the most about my xbox is...
My lil bro is no gamer. Dosnt have the modern cop-on to just pick up a game and make it "work", he just dosnt understand how these things work. The only games he EVER plays are soccer games, cus he loves it. He hated all other types of games, had no interest in them whatsoever....
But...
He is done stairs right now playing Gears of War. He loves it. Hes now interested in all shooting games, i even showed him Lego Star Wars 2 which he loves also (great game btw).

What im trying to say is: My bro, a complete non-gamer, is now a gamer. He had no interest in games until i got my 360, now he cant get enough. So, next-gen systems appeal to all.
