I have a PC, and the 360 doesn't really have anything that I can't play on my PC. Plus paying for online + having to buy a wireless adapter is just silly, especially when you factor in the hardware failures the system has had. The PS3 might cost more, but the extra money got me a Bluray player (which I wanted) and I dont have to pay for the online and the adapter. Plus I know there is a lot less chance of a system failure.

That's a shame. I've had a lot of fun times and memorable moments with my friends playing a lot of their wrestling games.

Here is how I think of it. The PS3 costs more, but when you factor in the costs of getting the wireless adapter for the 360 + the cost of online, and the fact you are getting an updatable bluray player, it makes a lot of sense. The PS3 hardware is solid and the system runs a lot quieter than the 360. Of course you may have to transition your game library, but if that is something you are willing to deal with then it might not be a bad move.

If you don't have a blu-ray player, then at least get it just for that. That's what I did.Qixote

Agreed. I did the same. I also got MGS4 and I feel even more justified in my purchase, simply an amazing gaming experience.

And then

http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/12-reasons-console-gaming-beats-pcs-489212

Top 5

1. No mouse and keyboard support.

2. Playing on TV

3. It just works

4. No need for endless upgrades

5. Cheaper hardware

Looks like the these will be easily dimissed by the 'hermits' but discuss away

thew13

1) No Mouse and keyboard is a bad thing imo.

2) You can play on your TV, my brother actually does this. HDMI cable from video card to TV, done.

3) PC works most of the time, besides what was the failure rate on 360s RROD?

4) Don't need endless upgrades if you do it right the first time. If you buy a POS, then you get what you deserve.

5) Sure the hardware is cheaper, but PCs are used for a lot more than gaming.

Me and my brother both recently purchased PS3s. He bought the blue tooth headset thing. I was wondering how voice chat works on this system if he is on my friends list. Can we be in a voice chat together while playing different games? Or would we both have to be playing the same game together? I ask because I see on the menu there is a Start Chat button. Sometimes I am playing a game like GTA4 for instance, and I see him log on in the top right corner to go play another game, and was wondering if we could play our respective games with a chat going.

Probably will go to the PC if Starcraft 2 is released in 2009.

Phantasy Star 2, when Nei is defeated by Nei First. Probably one of the first times we saw the death of a major character in a console RPG. The Naomi thing in MGS4 was pretty bad, along with the entire microwave tunnel sequence.
