Reviewers have got to get rid of their 360 hard on

[Reasonable]

I don't think it's a huge problem.  Sure, particularly with US based sites/reviewers you can tell that, as the 360 is the more dominant platform in the region, their general bias leans to it, but for the most part it evens out I think.

Most decent sites seem to review/test both and in most cases seem to note any issues on either side - be it PS3 port issues a'la something like Bayonetta or 360 port issues a'la somthing like FFXIII.

That's blatantly not true, the only bias shown is they're more likely to base the main review around the 360, they do not rate the game any better based on platform. 

@OP - You're the problem, instead of generalising you should look to find a set of reviewers that you trust as not every reviewer can review to your specific tastes.

I disagree, but in a frienfly manner.  By general bias I mean that yes, away from work etc. a 360 is more likely to be their main machine or will be the machine they use as the benchmark if they are a male game reviewer in the US - I'd be very surprised if a PS3 was their main machine and I think this is a compliment to the 360's position in the US market now.

In the US the 360 is clearly more dominant and you can see this in many aspects of how it is reported on - both in the gaming press and outside of that.

However, as I said, I personally don't find it is a problem.  No doubt last gen many reviewers had a PS2 as their main console but also enjoyed Halo etc on Xbox.

It's very, very hard not to have a general bias with regards to just about everything - the only issue would be if it was a genuine concern which I don't think it is.
