i like the look of xbox 360, but i think ps3 is going to be better

The only bad thing about wireless is the cost of batteries.

If you think the ps3 is going to be better, go to Major Nelson's Website and read his Xbox 360 Vs PS3 article. It's about the technical aspects from the system. Most of it is in plain english and deals with THE OFFICIAL SPECS released by each company, while some of it is more geared towards the techies who understand the specs in more detail.

Needless to say Sony is getting its ass kicked by MS. :laughing: I do agree to the fact that the games are what makes the system great, not just the hardware. The PS3 will be impressive, but not enough to kill MS.

P.S. Does anyone else like the George Foreman Grill look of the PS3? How about the fact thats its as big, if not bigger, than the original Xbox? If this is so, it will definitely impact sales in Japan, where they complained about the size of the xbox.

I like the look on Nintendo Revolution though , I don't see anything changed on the consoles except that they cost more and the creators get more money.

 

[MicrotechXP]

Yeah I thinks so also! But I think I am going to buy the PS3. I want to know how there user infrace is and how there online thing is going to work...
