This is a thread post I made earlier. It perfectly illustrates my point of view on system wars.

I HATE when people use the PSN hacks as an excuse to bash SONY. It could have happened to Microsoft or Nintendo just as easily. NOTHING is hack proof. I bet you didn`t even know about all the major bank hacks that have happened in the last 6-7 months. The attacks have done nothing but boost SONY`s defences. If anything the hacks are a reason to put more trust in the system, now that there is better security measures in place.

PS3:

(There wasdiscussion of the controller, that is why I addressed it)

I can play for hours without any discomfort with the current PS3 controller, so that isn`t an issue. They have better exclusive content for multiplatform games (that means I am more likely to buy a multiplat game for my PS3), and they have better exclusives outside of the FPS genera. They use Blue-ray disks, witch means no disk swapping. They have integrated Wi-fi. They have a browser (I don`t use it much either, but it is nice to have). Free multiplayer (not as good as the 360`s in my opinion, but just barely). The layout is allot better in my opinion, you don`t have to take this part into consideration as it is my personal preference. Anybody who says that move is the same as the Wii motion controls has no idea what they are talking about, move is that the Wii would be if it was a more advanced.

360:

The controller is a better fit in my hand, but that really doesn`t matter. They are the FPS king, any online game is better on the 360 (granted not allot better, but enough that it is noticeable). One of my favorite series is on 360, Gears. The slim now has integrated Wi-fi, but alot of 360 owners still have the 360 fat. Kinnect is original and innovative. I don`t use it alot, but it is really neat. It has alot of problems. My disk drive went out a couple of months ago, it is practically useless now. You have to pay for live. It is the better experience, but it isn`t that much better. It seems like Microsoft is trying to squeeze every penny out of me. To get everything the PS3 has, I have to pay; rechargeable controllers, multiplayer, Wi-fi, etc.

Personally I buy multiplayer games and exclusives for my 360. I buy exclusives for my Wii. Then I buy everything else on my PS3. I don`t own a gameing PC, and I don`t really include the Wii in the system war debates. The Wii is fun, but not really a contender.

I am a new member and are therefore unallowed to do many things. I understand not letting me mod immediatly, but you won`t even let me leave comments on videos. I guess it weeds out those not willing to be committed GameSpot useres but still. The first thing I do when I first join a website is personalize my profile. I tried to upload a photo and learned I can`t do that till level 5. I figured whatever, how hard could it be to reach level 5? I have been on all day and I am only level 2. WTF! I guess they do that so you can spot new users with ease, but it is still irritating to new users. I will probably not blog all to often, mainly I am doing this to level up. In fact, I got in an off topic debate with someone on the forum just to get some activity. I was making good points in the argument but still. YOU ARE FORCING ME TO BREAK RULES. How else am I going to level up quickly. I will be a regular user. But until I am at least level 5 I will be an annoying user to. I should either level faster, or GameSpot should let new users do stuff sooner.
