although i do love achievement points, trading my account to someone else would completely ruin it for me. sure, i love getting them, but it's the sense of accomplishment in getting them that makes it worth it, and if you're having someone else do it for you.. what's the point? waste of money in my opinion.ctfvyrsgurbnorn

I agree completely. I remember back when I had just gotten The Darkness and my brother came over. I was still at work and by the time I got home he'd already gotten me 4 achievement's. He didn't realize that part of the game for me is those points and the reward of earning them. Since then he's begun walking again and now knows how important it is to earn your wings. God like those guys that glitch to win or the Vegas rubber bandits "Fake it - till you win!"

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got XBL and man do i love it! After buying the Wireless Networking Adapter and having it not be compatible with our router, I was so bummed out. But then, we got a 50 foot ethernet cable, and a Netgear router, and I love it!!! Our netgear router even detects the 360 on our network map!!!! (Like it shows it's connected to our network) THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!!!!!1

NOW, don't even get me STARTED on CoD4. BEST GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED. I LOVE the multiplayer. Domination=Mini CTF. I love it. I was kind of worried that one build/class would be better over others, but it's really balanced in my opinion. I love the M16 and M4, but man, it's so fun!!!! Plus, it's funny to hear the conversations on live. Like just yesterday, I heard this guy, who seemed to be in college/an adult, and he said to like an 8 year old "STFU AND PLAY THE GAME!!!!!" I couldn't stop laughing. This is like the best invention in the world. Microsoft rocks. I mean, yeah my 360 hasn't gotten the RRoD yet, and even if it does, I wouldn't care, cause it still is the greatest system in the world. Live>Playstation Network.

I mean seriously, LIVE rocks. I went into the Marketplace, and you can download all this stuff, like movies, TV shows, demos, and more!!!! This is so cool. Plus all for $50 for 13 months? I mean, that's a GREAT DEAL. I love live. Seriously, downloading movies onto your 360 from your TV? HOW COOL IS THAT?????????

LIVE OWNS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me add a Little to that.. I do know how you feel, man I almost bought a PS3 before I bought my 360. A good friend of mine talked me out of it and I haven't looked back. I still bought the other 2 systems and a better computer and I found out that my new computer has media center on it. I got Media Center connected to XBL and now when friends come over I can share my movies from PC to XBOX. Dude all my kids photo's, Movies of vacations, hell even downloaded movies of your choosing. This system is the King of Kings. I don't know how old you are, but the 360 reminds me of the good ol'days when everyone would come over and play SNES for hours. The 360 and XBL gives you that back! I'm a father of 3 and my friends, cousins, and most importantly my brother don't get to hang like we used to let alone game like we did when we were kids. The 360 lets us do that again. Dude the 360 Rocks all in favor say "I"

Don't go near the PS3, the 360 is where all the shooters are at.. If you want to spend over $1000 to play Crysis on medium settings, go right ahead not stopping you but if you want value for money and a great range of shooters get the 360. You will see hermits saying things like PC has more games than all 3 consoles combined, thats cause they like to include last gen games and games that came out years ago. So if you want to know which has more shooters this year. 360 obviously.

God Bless you!

I'd say 360 only because the PS3's offerings are fairly unproven. Killzone 2 and Haze (is Haze even exclusive?) are both unproven and while Resistance 2 is shaping up well, I'm not entirely sold on it being a killer app. They could all be AAA masterpieces, or they could be A or lower. With the 360 you already have a solid lineup of shooters like Halo, Gears, PDZ (its a good game, just not AAA good) and others. Hell even most of the 360's RPGs (Mass Effect, Too Human, Fable 2) are going to feature guns in some form or another.

That said if you're really into shooters you need a good PC.

I agree, I have all three system and I'd have to say regardless of which system has more or less. My opinion is that part of what makes a shooter great is how cool is it on line. COD4, HALO3, GEARS etc. these were killer games on-line I own all three systems and playing UT3 was the closest I came to enjoying a on-line game on my ps3 the system just doesn't do it for me for on-line games. the Wii I haven't even tried connecting on-line yet. The PC, I used to be a PC fanatic but to play a game like Crysis you need to sale you kidney on the black market to afford a system that can play it! I now you have to pay for XBL but in reality it costs the same as a cup of Joe at Starbucks.

^^ lol BIG BOY IS HERE TO PLAY??!! Let me know when I can actually get some games to play with. I want to play great games from begining of the console cycle to the end of the consoles cycle. Looks like with sony's ps3 , people will only get to play great games somewhere in the middle of ps3's life cycle, since all sony is doing is telling us JUST WAIT! AND THIS IS COMING FROM PS3 owner.

LATINOHEAT47- HOW old are you kid? do you not know how business world works? iF NOT THEN STOP TALKING OUT OF YOUR A$$

Shipped means - Units shipped to the wearhouse. MICROSOFT AND SONY MAKES PS3 AND 360 AND THEN SHIP IT TO THEIR OWN WEARHOUSE. IN OTHER WORDS UNITS THAT WERE PRODUCED AND SITTING IN THE WEARHOUSE WAITING TO BE SOLD.

SOLD MEANS- THE MINUTE CIRCUIT CITY OR BEST BUY MAKES ORDER (BUY) FROM MICROSOFT OR SONY'S WEARHOUSE THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED A SALE!!!

If so many people are buying ps3 then WHERE ARE THE SOFTWARE SALES? Even xbox360 in 2007 with less then 10million userbase had more software sales then ps3 with higher userbase of today.

This only leads me to believe that most people are buying 360 and wii for their gaming needs and ps3 just for the movies. Dont think developers are not taking notice of it.

For 1 if you have a wireless network you need to get the wireless adapter,it is a little expensive but worth it, but anyway the games you should get are as following(in no particular order)

1 halo 3

2 gears of war

3 ghost recon advanced war-fighter 2

4 guitar hero 3

5 madden 08

6 assassins creed

7 mass effect those are just some of the games message me for more great games

I would have to say:

1. Gears - as this is a cult classic and no owner of a 360 should go without

2. - COD4 - Just an awesome Campaign and multi-player to die for.... and you will :)

3. HALO 3 - only if your a true fan cause if you've played one your probably board by now!

4. Guitar Hero 3, just an excellent time killer and everyone can enjoy it. It got my wife playing. . . Kinda

5. Mass Effect - Excellent Story, Game Play, all round bad a$$ RPG, side missions got a little repetitive but all in all A-OK

6. The Darkness, it's not worth the $60 bucks I shelled out but 45 or less it cool.

7. Can't comment on sports games, never been a fan of sports period! Don't Judge Me.
