I miss Demon's Souls T_T...

Hey, I'm not saying you should have sex with him. You just have to make him believe you will!

Are you secretly a PR for Microsoft? Calm down Aaron Greenburg.

Yes he is, and the OP is actually Kevin Butler. We must wait untill the ultimatum that will be a UFC cage match next E3.

Jnuel as someone in this thread already said; he has a 360 he doesn't use it, buying another one will just be a 300 dollar paper weight.  Tell him to buy a PS3 cause he has a 360 already and having both consoles at once is better than one.  Hell even just to buy it as a Bluray player is already money well spent.

yeah to all the ps3 haters i aint going to give him a lectur i am going to lend him my ps3 and some games like uncharted 1&2, mgs4, gow 3,  heavy rain, demon souls, i can make another list but guess what i am fed up of you all winging, the ps3 will speak for itself, if he does not see the point of having a ps3 at the end, then like you all say it's  a lost cause.

I'd rather have a pushy friend than one that one that would let me make a stupid decision. He said his friend doesn't even play his 360. But now that a slim 360 came, he wants to spend $300 on that? You realize that he could save that $300 and still play 360 games right? Or instead of spending that $300 on an item he doesn't use, he can use it on a something new.

You probably don't play PSP, right? Did you go out and buy a PSPGo just because it got redesigned? If I was jneul in this situation, I would have told you to buy a DS instead of wasting your money on the SAME item that you don't play

And what's worse, he was about to get a PS3 before the slim 360 came out. So back to my example. You have a PSP. You don't play it, it's gathering dust. You were about to get a DS, but then BAM, PSPGo comes out. No new games, just new hardware. All of a sudden, you don't want the DS anymore, you want to buy the PSPGo because it's a redesign. What kind of friend would I be if I saw that you had one thing that gathered dust, and you wanted to try something new, but is about to spend good money on another dust collector just because it looks different, and I let you go ahead and let you spend that money without speaking to you about it? 

I guess I'm being pushy if I tell the whole VGC community not to buy a slim 3D0 if that came out tomorrow, even though none of us plays the 3D0, and would buy it purely for aesthetics. Sure, it's the friend's money and he should do what he wants with it, but as a friend, jneul is right in trying to tell him otherwise.

If he buys a slim 360, he'll just have 2 dust collecting paperweights

Hey jneul, I say let him buy the new 360. He might regret it later.

I don't see what my post has to do with Microsoft, other than complimenting Sony's Free online and BLu Ray, which aaron greenberg would never do. But keep it up, you're heading for a ban ...

See my view is, if PS3 is such a great console, it should be able to persuade people on its own. It shouldn't need "sponsoring" by friends.
