All i can say when it come to comparing the two, all the GT games hold nothing to the Forza simulations, Forza 3 releases soon, i bought my 360 just for forza 2.

For some reason, the handling on the PS has never made me happy like the 360.


Plus, i think buying a Sony is like buying an import. I would rather have my American design(even though it is all made in Taiwan).

If the 360 sucked, i would own a PS.

There was a study conducted a while back on PS3 and 360 sales, can't find the link, but when I do I'll post it. It basically said if the 360 sales were to flatline completely, and PS3 sales were to boost up 10% then they are now, it would take 2 years JUST to catch up to 360 sales.

98.5% of people who have owned a 360 and have had it red ringed would get another, that's not including myself (who has never had a 360 failure).

There are plenty of games that have dedicated servers on the 360. Not all of them use your connection as a host.

1.) GOW is not an FPS, it's a 3rd person shooter. And IMHO there is nothing even compared to it.

2.) Yes, I do have a PS3, since launch. I play it from time to time, but I just don't find it as good as the 360. I mainly play madden, and the past few years, Madden has been an utter disappointment on the PS3.

In Madden '08 the FPS on the 360 was set at 60, while on the PS3 it was at 32 FPS. In Madden '09 same thing, with dropped frames in replays, and no spinning in the football. In Madden '10 it does not display in full 1080i, while the 360 does.

3.) Not all 360 exclusives are on PC.

That has been the downfall of the ps3, the multi platform games are not taking the time to migrate to the PS3. They just want to get it on the shelf b/c it will sell anyways.

Yes GOW is great, it just doesn't justify me buying another 360 after buying 2 of them.

IBM, Rambus, and Nvidia are all US based companies which built the majority of the console. As a guy who works in the technology field I try to stay away from Microcrack all I can.

I'll go along with this statement. I've always loved the layout of the xbox 360 controller. It's a bit thicker and wider and the button layout is easier to move around on. The PS controler is smaller, thinner, and seems more jammed together. I find my fingers slipping off the R2 and L2 buttons constantly and the joy sticks are so close together that sometimes my thumbs will mash if I'm trying to do quick moves. For racing and first person shooter games I buy them for my 360. For all the others it's just a matter of what they have in stock. If they are sold out on 360 I get PS3 and vice versa.
