Why did you buy it?

There are a lot of options when it comes to gaming nowadays. There are people who even have more than two consoles or portables and don´t even have the time to play it. And there are consoles like the Xbox 360 and the PS3 which have almost the same games. And there are so many games coming out that is impossible to play them all.

What brings me to some questions, and I'd like to know your opinion on that matter. For example:

which one?

-If you have any os these consoles and/or more than one: Xbox 360, PS3 or a PC(I know it's not a console, but you can game on it). Why did you buy it(them)? What was the high point or is the high point that made you choose this one?

-When a game comes out, and it´s exactly the same on all consoles it´s available, how you choose for wich console you'll buy it?

-When you see a lot of really bad reviews of a game that you wanted so bad, what makes you run at the store anyway and get it?

Let me know what drives you crazy on this "Game War Era"!!!

Xbox 360 Slim???

An image of what could be the new Xbox 360 has leaked over the internet today!

The picture below shows what could be the new motherboard with the CPU and the GPU on a single chipset.

Xbox 360 Valhalla

The motherboard also presents one extra SATA conector,which is curious. Will Microsoft do this one with an internal hard drive?

This motherboard has been codenamed Valhalla. And if it´s the real deal, we can see for the images that will be a lot smaller than the actual Xbox 360.

Since there was a rumor of a new Xbox 360 to be launched with Project Natal, we will probably know the truth about later this year on E3. Till there Microsoft probably won´t say a word about it.

The image belows show the new combo chipset that would be one of 45nm.

Valhalla Chipset

The hope is that it's true, since we all know that the actual Xbox 360 still have his hardware problems, though it´s better today, it is still a problem that Valhalla will come to solve.

PS3 wins? Xbox 360 and Wii lose?

First of all: I'm not a fan boy! I own all systems.

Now, since the launch of the Xbox 360, we could see that most of the games launched on both consoles looked better on the 360. Like Fallout 3 for example. But them Uncharted came and since it is a exclusive we couldn´t compare. But Uncharted 2 was clearly the best looking game made on this generation. But the 360 have great looking games too, like Batman: Arkham Asylum. And that made me think: "OK, if someone put that money on an exclusive for the 360 it can top Uncharted graphics."

God of War 3

But this week we had God of War 3 reviewed by Tom Mc Shea. And after watch the video review, I was like Brendan Sinclair said on this week HotSpot: "Holy Cr**!!!" Now I'm almost sure that the 360 CAN´T do something like that! I can be wrong, but there's no game on the 360 that comes near the graphic quality of God of War 3. And Final Fantasy XIII that was launched this week, looks better on the PS3 too.

For the Wii I don´t have much to say. But after seeing the PlayStation Move presentation on GDC10, I don´t see any reason for a "Wii HD" anymore. If the games for the PlayStation Move will be better or the same old stuff we are used to on the Wii, I don´t know. But at least I can be sure they will look better.

I would like to know what you guys think!!!
