The J man owns the ps3 and 360 and he prefers the 360.....as do alot of people........ there is something wrong with your analysis...... and I really doubt you own all three systems because if you did you would praise all of them somewhat equally (your prefered console the most of course) and not call one a "toy" and one that "rips you off".

Wow, this wasnt trolling at all. I just don't get why he get banned...

You do need to buy the wifi unless you have your cable modem next to your TV and want to buy an extra router or something weird. I mean who the hell has wired connections through their house these days? You certainly need to pay 100 for wifi to make it equivilant to the what the Wii and PS3 get for free from day one.

You are required to buy the 120GB hard drive beca use the 20GB is patheticly small AND a third of it is taken up by system crap before you even can use it. You can't even install more then one game on it before its full.

Yes live can cost less then 7 a month if you pay for a year in advance, but its still over 50 bucks (with sales tax) which is rediculous compared with what using YOUR internet connection to play games hosted either on your console or the console of the guy you're playing against should cost, 0 dollars. Again every gaming system EVER has had FREE online play from the earliest online play on the PC to the PS3, Wii, DS, PSP, Iphone/ipod touch and all the rest, its free across the board as long as you use YOUR high speed connection.

I mean are you seriously going to argue that the 360s rape you in the a** accessory and online play prices are rational and/or a good value? I mean come on.

Also the PS3 is the top selling console worldwide AND in the US through September.

And what game library are you talking about? There are 3 9.0+ games released in just the last two weeks that are PS3 exclusive compared (Uncharted 2, Demon Souls, Ratchet and Clank) with more or less nothing but another Halo retread for the 360 a month ago. Every good 360 game comes to the PC and usually the PS3 meaning good exclusives are more or less a one way street in favor of the Playstation.

The best games in virtually every category are either PS3 exclusive or on the PS3.
Shooter: Resistance 2/Killzone 2/Call of Duty4 exclusive/exclusive/multiplat
Platformer: Little Big Planet exclusive
Adventure: Uncharted 2 exclusive
Third Person Shooter: Metal Gear Solid 4 exclusive
RPG: Demon's Souls/Valkariya Chronicles/Fallout 3 Exclusive/Exclusive/Multiplat
Younger Crowd Action: Ratchet and Clank games exclusive
Sports: all the good ones are multiplat except the best baseball series, The Show, is PS3 only

So what does the 360 have? I guess in the sub category of best game staring space marines they have it covered since their only good exclusives Halo and Gears both involve that, but neither are the best shooter around. They have Forza 3 which is barely ahead of Need for Speed Shift (multiplat) until GT5 comes out and blows it away just like GT4 blew away the original but thats it as far as I can tell.

So the PS3 has the value, the games, the blu ray player, the free online play and the performance. I literally see no advantage the 360 has other then price if you don't need a bigger hard drive, wifi, online play or any other amenities.

PS3 fans are just more vocal than the others.

  I do have a Wii, which I do use as a toy, and theres nothing wrong with that.  It is fun once in a while to play Wii Sports Resort with a girl who doesn't normally game and do some sword fighting.  I say its a toy rather then a serious gaming system because other then playing with other people in that kind of context, I never use it for anything resembling the kind of serious gaming experience that Arkham Asylum, Uncharted 2, Demon Soul's, Borderlands or other such games represent.  I certainly couldn't talk many girls into playing boarderlands with me though, so I'm fine with the Wii for what it is and still own/sometimes use it.

   As to the 360 I used to use it back when it was released and there was no alternative.  Look up impulsivity on Live, I have about 12000 gamerpoints so you can tell I DID use it.  I just haven't used it much at all since playing through Fable 2 because with a PS3 there is no reason to.  Why should I praise a system that charges for online play, overcharges for accessories, doesn't have the good exclusives and stutters through games more often?  It is just inferior to the PS3 and owning both I know that first hand.  If you would like pictures of my dust collecting 360 I will be happy to provide them.

More need for self confirmation that their purchase wasn't the wrong one.

It's called Consumer dissonance.

I'm sure Gamecube fans were talking up every single exclusive they got as well whether or not they planned to buy it.

As for the "More fans" theory.  If they had more fans... they would be selling the most systems.

You could claim they have the most fanboys.  Which would make a lot of sense.

I mean you see that a lot with sports teams when they start sucking. 

While banning is the subject of discussion why isn't this guy banned. Talking about trolling.

Mario Galaxy annihilates LBP as a platformer, but LBP has other good qualities that make it a good game.

really, i must have missed that, i remember it always being sony then nintendo then xbox, with marginal fluctuations im not an old oldie, but ive been a member since july 07 and a lurker for about 6 months before that

edit off topic, i dont like who the new badges dont list old systems, i fire up my ps2 and snes on a weekly basis
