lol thanks for thinking my Horrible grammer and spelling was published in an artical. That makes me feel nice. as for the not knowing about the 40 gig thing. I Kinda sorta knew but not really. But someone said it right. It was mostly cus I am a 360 fan boy. I never really kept up on Ps3 news. I remember hearing about it but i honestly thought it was one of the versions that was ether Sold over seas or one that was discontinued.

First and foremost. I love my 360. I have loved it ever since the day I won it on my birthday back in 06 (thank you fred myers)

The Game Selection and mechanics behind the 360 are the best in the market IMHO.

Ok with that out of the way. So I bought A Ps3... I have been working like 20 hours of OT a week and had some extra money and I saw a game that looked really really cool. "Eye of judgment" As a long time former magic player and an X employee of Wizards of the coast the I had to get the game. So I ordered the game, before i got the ps3 and then went out the next day and got the ps3. I was only going to get the 40 gig one but after I made the purchase the person informed the the 40 gig was not fully backwards compatible. So I had to get the 80 gig one cus there are lots of cool ps2 games I want to play now thatI can. So I spent the 500 bucks. and 30 for an HDMI cable so I could have both the xbox and ps3 plugged in at the same time.

So I got it home and I soon realized that wow the 500 dollars was a steal. It has a built in wireless Ethernet. So thats a 99 dollar Xbox value. and the blue ray. a 179.00 value. so at todays xbox price thats like 627 dollars. Not to mention the 60 extra gigs of space. (even tho I am finding game updates and such take up about a gig each!) so the space is needed. and 727 dollars if you go with the elite.

The first thing I noticed was how light the controller was. I thought I for-sure got a defective controller. But no its just missing the rumble. and frankly I dont miss it. I like how it feels. I am also noticing that that the charge lasts a little longer on the controller.

The second thing I noticed was how much quieter it is then my xbox. Its like the Ps3 is the Mute brother of my Xbox. I only notice its on when the light is on.

Third thing I noticed was that IMHO the picture is much more clear. It might be because the HMDI but as I dont have the elite I may never know.

Misc things I like. the Internet browser. The shear number of settings and odds and ends of things you can add on or do with your ps3. the PSP stuff even tho I dont have one yet I am going to get one. I also like how each game skins the background whenever you have it selected.

Ok now for what I dont like. The Sony Store. It sucks. plain and simple. Compared to Xbox marketplace the sony store is a Flea Market on the wrong side of town that only sells half eaten sandwiches and Hallowed out bathtubs with the virgin Mary in it.

The Demo's: OMG!!! you have to download the demo, then install it? the PS3 is not my computer. This goes for all the downloadable content as well. I downloaded the ratchet and clank demo and that took some time. then after it was done it took another 5-10 min to "install" I was shocked and a little mad at this. It was odd for sure.

Last and not least. The game selection. There are a few good games. even fewer great games and a bunch of ports that are equal to are better on the 360. Also the games in the store like "Flow" and such should have trial versions.

So in closing The ps3 is great. It has the potential to be freakin fantastic! it just has a long way to go to get there!

Ps. I am looking forward to Home whenever that comes out.

ether way. its booze ads where Kids come.

First I have to say... I love booze 8 )

But I am 27 and can buy it.

Why o why dose a game site that I am sure many people under the age of 21 and I am sure 18 come to would use ads for Tequila... 80 dollar tequila

I understand the reason for ad's. I cant afford memebership right now So i live with them. But why have the option to "skip this ad" if its only going to refresh the ad and make you wait longer. If you dont want us to skip the ad then dont give the option to skip it.

Thank you.
