Dear libellule and windbane!

Or here it is...

I am NOT an Xbox fan at all!!!! I dont have an Xbox right now but I have a slimline PS2 and very happy about it :) I dont have a 360 and I dont intend to buy it any soon. I dont have a PS3 either and my chances to buy it is not soon either, lol.

I am not an Xbox fan but I'd loved it, why? I had bought Xbox so that I could play many decent FPS and some other games that My PC couldnt handle and I discovered that I could use it like a set top box with hacking tools and adding an 80 GB hard disc.

With those tools,
I was able to load my entire movie (divx) selection into the drive and watch them on my big screen TV on demand (using Windows Media Player CE) :).
Thanks to those tools, I was able to copy the entire Xbox games to the hard drive (totally unofficial so it worked for all games), which drastically reduced the loading times and removed the need for inserting and switching the discs!

I like X360 because

- The games it offers appeal to me (FPS especially)
- The system is much more affordable
- There are far more games
- Online capabilities are better

I actually like but am disappointed with PS3 because

- I hate the price point especially in Europe where I live
- I dont give a damn about HD Movies so the extra price for Bluray is nothing but a burden on me.
- It was released late and very few games are available.
- I hate the fact that Sony keeps lying and exaggerating about the specs. The so called powerful console is nothing but a cream on even harder programming. We are yet to see a game that is considerably better looking on PS3. Wasnt this a selling point? Accepting PS3 is already surpassed by High end PCs is the same as saying PS3 is not that powerful or special. Because we know X360 has close power to the high end PCs today. The only point it cant come close to them is the amount of RAM (in which PCs boast with 2 gigs of RAM and 512 megs of Graphics RAM). PS3 cannot compete with this either, then what is the difference if there is any???

- I will still buy PS3 in late 2008 or 2009 because it has many nice and exclusive games that I will be interested in. Also I believe PS3's price will drop to $300 level for the US or so and Bluray will win this format war.
