Wow. Everyone here sounds like they're still in elementary school fighting in the sandbox screaming at the top of their lungs over which system is better. "SNES FTW!!! NO STUPID, GENESIS!!!"

Please, everyone grow up. You bought your respective system(s) for whatever personal reasons be it for the games, multiple media features, controllers, etc. No need to start system flame wars and insult others for their decisions. If anything, more competition = better games!! We should all be happy for that.

Personally, (not to be a hypocrite, choose if you want to read the following) I own all three systems and love them each for their strengths. I agree with others that Xbox 360 has more/better games. Kudos for Microsoft for releasing the Xbox 360 a year early to get a jump on the build up of a huge game library. But the Xbox fans are shafting the PS3 owners because of the lack of great games. It's a younger system and the AAA titles will come out soon enough (as will more Xbox 360 games). Gaming is all a matter of preference and I'm really only into FPS and racing games, so obviously my Xbox 360 would seem like it receives more play time for Halo 3; however, I actually play COD4 and GTA4, to name a few PS3/360 games, more on my PS3. Like many of you stated, you buy the system with the games you like AND/OR because your friends have the system (in my case, they all have PS3). Halo 3 was really the only selling point for me, damn GTA4 and COD4 for sucking up the Halo online community... oh well. Oh and I also got the Wii because I grew up on Nintendo and love its classic franchises. Plus, the ladies love playing with Wiis.

Oh BTW, "Blueray" will never be a Microsoft exclusive, as Sony had a big part in its development while Microsoft backed up HD-DVD. Of course Microsoft will be paying a nice premium (like with GTA4) to get the Bluray add-on for the 360. 2008 will be a great gaming year for us all, no matter what system(s) you own. Cheers!

So in conclusion of my OPINIONS, the PS3 is like the Civic Si, priciest and made for enthusiasts

; the Xbox 360 is like the Civic EX, more accessible (for the non-MT capable folk) but still with the luxuries; and the Wii is like the Civic LX, it tries to do the same with less of the same.

FLAME (SUIT) ON!
