Right

Whoever said the ps2 was better than the original xbox wants shooting

I had both and the ps2 got punted once i got bored of gran turismo (the reason i bought it)

I might very well buy the ps3 for the very same reason (GTHD) and well to check it out.

However, the 360 has absolutely blown me away. The graphics on recent titles (COD3 & GOW) have been out fo this world.

Its live system aint free but its simplicity is a joy to use. The ps3 system will work differently. You will have to register an account for each developer whick will make things very tedious and your freinds list will probably not interact between them.

Developers are currently struggling with the ps3's complex programming and its likely we wont see its full potential for a good few years.

Sony do have a feircly loyal following and i get the impression that a lot of them dissing the 360 have never really even tried to appreciate it. Its an awsome bit of kit that offer so much over gaming. Streaming from pc, marketplace, voice channels, upscaling dvd's

people should just appreciate that they are both good consoles.

I do get the impression the ps3 will be riddled with 'bug's and no where near as user freindly as the 360.

The choice of buying a console right this minute. 360. As per above !!

My tuppence worth.
