See, a lot of the PS3's features just aren't useful, for me at least.

Like this for example.

You can't browse the net in the Xbox360.


I don't WANT to browse the net on my 360, I've got a perfectly good computer less than a meter away for that.

Motion control? Not for me. Not until it isn't shit anyway.

Blu-Ray? No advantages for me, you need to have a screen the size of a small country to see any real difference.

Also the controller is uncomfortable.

That being said. PC gaming > All.

Ps3 motion control isn't shit, it's quite good actually.
And the better of it is, that it isn't a overused feature in all PS3 games.
And yeah, blu-ray won't make you any difference if you have a small screen. But nowadays 5 in 7 families own a LCD/plasma television, not too big, not too small, to enjoy blue ray you'll just need a 1080dpi television.
The controller is good for me.. It's a matter of taste.

As for the utility of the internet browser, well, I'm writing on it right now lol. My PC is broken.


But yes, PC gaming owns the crap outta everything.

PSN is as good as XBL, XBL looks more fancy, but you can do exactly the same thing on both Networks.

I would never browse the net on my 360 lol. My computer is right next to me.

However, I was talking about games on Xbox live. For example, the xbox live arcade always has great cheap games. Even in the summer XBLA is getting great games like splosion man, shadow complex, and trails HD. Not to mention castle crashers and Braid. There's some seriously good games aside from the 360's already strong line up.

The ps3's motion controller has good 1/1 motion. I'm not really going to debate this thoroughly right now. I'll just speculate my thoughts since you brought it up.

My prediction would be a parallel to how this console war is going: the ps3's motion controller will have nicer tech, with less developer support and less games. Natal will come out with several games ready and it will probably have a wider audience (which leads to stronger developer support). Natal will probably be packaged just like the XBL headset so that it strongly penetrates the market.

I don't mean how well it works, I mean how well it's integrated into a game.

Imo, even then you only get small improvements, and the price isn't worth it to me.

Enjoy your carpel tunnel

Also, Natal looks pretty swell. Haven't seen any thing for it that I would actually play, but the tech is pretty cool.

For the games:
Xbox 360

If it had good games:
Playstation 3

(Though Skate, MotorStorm, and Dirt could keep me busy for a while, because I like those kind of games.)

The system I have is the Wii, and I love to play Wii baseball because well I like baseball. I also enjoy the interativness of the Wii.

IMO.

The Xbox reminds me of Valve.
Instead of a bunch of updates to increase the hype on players, they just wait like 3 years to launch a massive pack of stuff they don't even know if it's going to be successful or not.

i like my monthly updates on psn.

Why would you need an internet browser in your gaming system?

Xbox 360 is better.
It's cheaper, has better multi-player and a decent single player experience, granted not as good in some points as the PS3, but It's capable of the stuff we need.
All of the other crap is stupid as shit and nobody in their right mind gives two shits about the interface. Buy it from a logical side and not just because your console can float so that makes it better.

You are a dumb shit if you think the Wii or PS3 is better than the Xbox 360.
