    Yeah thats true its the same with everything, any new technological advance has its flaws/downsides at one point or another but sooner or later people find great use in the product.

    I just really don't get why every1 is so obsessed with getting a xbox360 or ps3 or wii. they are just games, and different game stations, so what aobut the ones that came before them? those are good, too.

    I have a xbox 360 and 23 Games or so. I've tried the PS3 at a friend's of mine and frankly here is my take. I much prefer the xbox 360 for a few reasons. One being the graphics seem marginally better on some key games, as well as there is more games out currently and being a full year ahead of the ps3 there will likely always be more since MS has some pretty good contracts tied. The only benefit I could see was the larger harddrive of the PS3 but of course expect MS to launch a larger harddrive anytime soon. Sure there are some minor differences however both systems are somewhat comparable in capability but again the 360 is cheaper and personally I can see this being Sony's last attempt at the Console wars since it's going to be a losing battle long term.

    Suprisingly, no. I thought the Ps3 would do well, but instead the 360/Wii are doing considerably better. I feel sorry for that guy who died for a PS3, but hey I'd rather have my life than a PS3.

    Dying for? I think not. I would get the wii as it costs less and is almost as good and maybe better.

    No it's not. It's much too expensive and just not worth it. I recommend getting the Wii instead. Much more involvement and different playing style. I liked it a lot better.

    You've probabaly heard by now but its got a few glitches/ Apparently it can't play super new Ps2 games or something or the other properly and as I've read a few posts, it fails against the Wii.
    -snort- Although the Wii rumors are terribly funny and moronic.

    To be frank none of the game consoles are worth buying unless u appreciate them. For me i will w8 for a few months before all their prices drop and then i will consider which one to buy. And during the time of w8ing i can read reviews abt them and see which one worth more to buy.

    If they removed the blu ray compatibility from the PS3 and the price dropped by around $400 because of that, I would buy one.
