Parting Ways With My 360

I'm giving up on the 360. There are a total of 2 games coming out for 360 this year that interest me. Thus I am selling my console and all of it's counterparts on ebay. It wasn't an easy decision, but I eventually came to the conclusion that $500 was better than a years worth of dust collecting and two games.

So goodbye 360! It's been great! I promise to play you again when Fable 2 and Banjo Kazooie are released! So long and good riddance! *shakes fist at d-pad and FPS's filled with testosterone*

The Good And The Bad Of The Consoles

Want to know whats bad and whats good about the consoles? Want to know what kind of fan-boy I am? (hint, PS3) Or maybe you just want another opinion about a specific console before spending the dough. Here's my list of my pro's and con's of each major console....and yes, I do own all three consoles, so I'm allowed to bash whatever I feel like!

The PS3... the most surprisingly fun console.


-Classic Playstation controller except wireless
-Blu-Ray games and Blu-ray movies
-Upscaling dvd's via HDMI
-HD Graphics
-Sixaxis
-Downloadable content
-Best dashboard of the three consoles
-Bluetooth official remote control
-Remote Play
-Custom themes
-Constant firmware updates
-Plenty of hard drive space at a non Microsoft price
-Upgradable hard drives
-Free online play
-Most reliable console of the three. (yes, my Wii has broken once and my 360 is about to break any day now)
-Pixeljunk Monsters
-Everyday Shooter
-Uncharted
-Heavenly sword
-PS3 Home
