I am not a fanboy at all. But what I said are facts and no one can say a NO to them.

Well firstly, I said probably and not surely. So there is a chance and I am assuming that, because they are published at Microsoft Studios same as the other games that I mentioned. They were 360 only and now they are on PC. Again, I didn't say it will be for sure.

Regarding the 360 being faulty, believe it or not. I am pretty damn sure it's a fact. Otherwise Microsoft wouldn't give a 3 years warranty and they actually admitted that there is a problem with the hardware.

GoW 3 is not Gears of War. It's God of War 3.

Here are some of the other games.

By the time the PS3 is at a normal price and is available to the masses Microsoft will be releasing it's next console.
Why's Sony lagging behind Microsoft in terms of bring out a new console? Anybody know? Sony is an electronic giant so it's not as if they're lacking the expertise or know how given their history.

I think (I have nothing to back my claims except for what I hear) Sony is laggin behind 360 this generation's console wars for several reasons.

The PS3 is ambitious...
-It works with Blu-ray and not standard or HD-DVDs.
-Developers haven't grasped the hardware that is Ps3
-360 did come out several months before PS3
-360 is basically an XBOX 2.0 in my opinion, nothing revolutionary technology-wise so Devs adapted much smoother.

The future
The PS3 is set when it comes to dealing with different types of media. It's currently lacking in the software department as there aren't enough knockout games coming out just for the PS3. The situation is likely to improve with the release of Metal Gear 4, Killzone 2 and LittleBigPlanet. Then there's the PlayStation Home, which looks like all the functionality of Xbox Live but set in virtual world.

What's to love:
+ Free online service
+ Built-in Blu-ray player
+ Not needing batteries for the pads
+ It's a big pulsing ball of techno-muscle - with massive potential
+ PSP connectivity
+ It can be used as a hard drive TV recorder with Play TV (out next year)
+ It's the most versatile machine when it comes to non-games entertainment
    Big Screen, Main Screen        

What's to hate:
- Few great games exclusive to the PS3
- Difficult to develop for, resulting sometimes in weaker game performance
- Needing a HDTV to get the most out of it
- Lack of content on PlayStation Network compared to the Wii's Virtual Console and Xbox Live

Verdict
The PS3 is still in its infancy as a console and so can't really compete with the Wii and 360 when it comes to amazing exclusive games. But it's a machine with incredible capabilities and a bright future - with a role as a multimedia machine to be placed at the heart of your HD set up. Then with PlayStation Home and LittleBigPlanet out next year, the online service might even outshine Xbox Live.


It's the console for you if:
+ You want more out of your console than just gaming
+ You're prepared to wait for the PS3 to fulfill its potential
+ You want to become part of an online community (PlayStation Home) from day one

360 wrote:

The future
At the moment there's very little to look forward to in terms of amazing new features, but can it actually get much better? The next step is to turn it into a multimedia machine with the release of the HD DVD drive and with plans for a TV recording feature. Microsoft will also be keen to develop an equivalent to the PS3's forthcoming Home online community-based service.

What's to love:
+ Stronger games line-up than the other two consoles
+ Great online service
+ Excellent downloadable content - games, demos, trailers and more
+ Multimedia machine - you can play DVDs (HD DVDs if you buy the add on) and CDs, making it the heart of your home entertainment
+ Developers are finding it relatively easy to develop for, which means it will continually get top third-party games, which could well be 'better' versions
    Big Screen, Main Screen        

What's to hate:
- Unreliability. The Red Ring of Death means you could be without your machine for a few weeks as Microsoft fixes it
- Lack of support from Japan - it isn't the console for you if you like Japanese-style games
- Power adapter is really fat and the DVD drive noisy
- Lack of in-built Wi-Fi - it needs an adapter
- Needing a HDTV to get the most out of it

Verdict
Out of the three consoles, the 360 is the one enjoying the best quality line-up at the moment. Not only does it receive the best of third-party games such as Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty 4, but with Project Gotham, Halo and Mass Effect it has essential games you can't play anywhere else. The 360 is definitely the console for gamers who want everything NOW and are prepared to overlook some of the potential technical difficulties.

It's the console for you if:
+ You want to play the best conventional games out there
+ You're keen to get involved in online gaming
+ You're after the cheapest way into HD gaming
I'll hust quote myself to put this argument out there again

Yes, it is a fact that the 360 is faulty. I've had to send mine in for repairs. But I'm pretty sure it doesn't fail every few months. Mine lasted a year.

Only 4 of those titles interest me. IMO, the 360 and PS3 will be close to equal in terms of games in a few years, but I just don't see what else the PS3 has over the 360 that justifies it having a higher price tag. It's better technology doesn't seem worth it to me, and it doesn't even seem to be fully utilized by game developers.

FFS I hate to sound like a fanboy but the PS3 is $50 more than the 360. If you want XBL Gold, you'll be paying those $50 anyways...

Both systems are good; I just sold my 360 to get a PS3 though. I like the games coming out on PS3 more (Halo 3 didn't really swing me), it's far more stable hardware (my 360 wasn't the "Falcon" version), and built-in WiFi (unfortunately I HAVE to use it).

edit: About 360 games looking better than their PS3 counterparts, so far Devil May Cry 4 has apparently played smoother and looked better on the PS3.

Come the fuck on, that's like saying there's no such thing as gun crime because you've never been a victim of it. It's a well-known fact that a lot of 360s suffer the Red Lights of Death. Even the most devoted of 360 fanboys acknowledge that the 360's major pitfall is its hardware reliability. Don't take it as a knock on the whole system; it has great games. But having your 360 randomly die on you isn't exactly a small issue, especially when it happens to a lot of people and costs the company over 1 billion dollars.

I should point out that people who claim their friends have better graphics on 360, are you sure they are running on the same graphical output? (720 p) I just switched to 720p and the graphics blew me away, i felt like such an idiot for not changing it before ;P

Still I have a PS3 and love the games I have, i don't give a crap about Halo 3 becasue Ive played Halo 2 and 1 and know what to expect,furthermore I played with enough whining 12 year olds in my battlefield days to put me off going near a mass gathering of them for life. Undeniably that 360 has a better line up, but you'll want to consider a Ps3 because "It might be good soon"

I'd say hold up on getting a console for now, saving that money until ~April when GTAIV and MGS4 etc are out and see how the PS3 is faring, if you must get a console, go with the 360. If you're that impatient then you probably can't wait for the PS3 to be good.

I just got an X360 a week ago and I'm enjoying it. I love the graphics and the freedom of a wireless controller. Just remember to lay the X360 horizontally so it has no chance of falling over, and it is better for the disk drive. Also, put the X360 in a place where air can flow through it easily, such as on top a television. Make sure it is not in a place where there is dust too.

The lack of single platform games doesnt worry you? All the 360s good games are shooters... now tell me what platform are shooters best on? PC damn right. If you dont want a PS3 dont get one, but dont waste your money on a 360 just so you have a new console.

I'm getting a PS3 for christmas though. All my friends sold their 360's ages ago, one to get a wii off a guy named Charlie (he has a monobrow) and another guy to get a HDTV.

Vilham, I completely agree with you.  I think PC's>consoles in every respect.  Here's the problem ----> $$$

I don't have the money to upgrade my current rig to play the games I'd like to play.  The best games graphics wise that I have are bf2 and oblivion, and I have to put both on lowest setting possible.  A console would be a cheap way of getting an upgraded rig.  I thought about a wii for awhile, but decided against it, although everytime I see Mario Galaxies I cream.

I want to save up to buy a SWEEET rig once in a couple years, and my current PC and laptop will do alright for now.

Going to have to learn how to build a rig though, I'm going to spend everything on parts and assemble it myself.
