Well, just finished the game. Not as exciting for me because some a-hole revealed the suprise on another forum (I was trying to find out more about the karma meter, totally unrelated to ending) without labeling spoilers.

Still mad about that..

I have some things I'm confused about still...

**What was the deal with the TV brodcaster who hated Cole so much?? Could HE possibly be the beast?

**I don't think I ever understood what John had to do with anything. Why did he even want the raysphere? Who was he working for?

**If the Beast has theoretically been building his powers since the original raysphere blast, wouldn't the present Cole have heard about it during the whole timeline in which the game takes place? There is no way you wouldn't encounter this Beat at some point, especially if he is tearing the place apart.

Answers?

thanks for all the input.

another quick question. if I go with the PS3, can I hook up my portable external hard drive to it and watch movies/look at files that are on my external hard drive?

So I need a little help here.

I'm thinking about getting a PS3 or an Xbox 360 and I'm having a really hard time deciding.

I've done lots of research, read lots of differing opinions, the more I read the more indecisive I become.

I don't have an HD TV so I don't know if Blu Ray really matters that much to me. Looks like Xbox has more games to offer. I was leaning toward PS3 because I love the FF series, but apparently it's coming out on xbox too, so, yeah. Xbox 360 is currently $100 bucks cheaper, and money is kinda tight right now.

I do think it's cool though that the PS3 can surf the net. I feel like that might be fun from time to time.

I've read a lot of stuff saying games look better on the 360. I guess what I'm really struggling with is that I've had playstations my whole life, I feel loyalty to Sony, but I don't think loyalty alone is a good reason to get a system...

So I don't really play first person shooters, or do online multiplaying.

Can someone push me in the right direction? I need to be convinced. I've been trying to make this choice for a solid week now!
