Ok xbox heads listen up.Whoever says xbox is better then ps3 is not to smart because all the games are the same and they look the same. So neither are better, right now.......But there are accesories that the Ps3 does have that xbox will never see that makes it better. First it has a wayyyyy bigger harddrive and can be switched with even a 500Gb hard drive, great media center for videos ,mp3, photos etc, and free online gameplay RIGHT out the box. Also it has sixaxis which will soon be coming out with a Wii like remote and a rumble feature.Also it has built in bluetooth for head sets keyboards and any bluetooth product,also has built in wireless internet for a connection to play online ANYWHERE in your house, has a stronger processor and core and etc. So in some time when xbox is maxed out on its 9Gb out dated dvd discs and cant compete with blueray 20Gb space disc ,Ps3 will rule the industry.Ps3 will also still have games that theyve dominated with since we were kids and are ALL playable on the system all the way back to ps1 .I have atleast over 200 games dating back to when i was a kid and i can play them ALL on ps3, good thing to have. The only thing xbox has is Mass effect and Halo(which gameplay isnt gonna be that much flattering then the first two,and which is also just an average 1st person shooter ,waste of money….).ITs not to smart to base the survival of your system on one game. Ps3 is coming with MEtal Gear, Final Fantasy,Gran Turismo HD ,Killzone 2,Tekken 6 and much more . Besides those games ,graphics are going to start to look better because of the more powerful system and i also forgot to mention PS3 has a webbrowser and all the great usb ports to hook anything up you can possibly think of. So xbox is way behind, simply because they wanted to come out quicker. They missed all the new technology. So right now there doing fine, proably selling as much as ps3 because ps3 needs to launch more games and systems. But pretty soon the thrown will come back to the rightful owner. Another thing anyone who purchases an XBOX is a victim of advertisement, simpley because all XBOX’S GREAT GAMES YOU GUYS ARGUE ABOUT COME OUT ON THE COMPUTER. Why are you gonna watse your money on a system when you have a comp at home and can spend it on nintendo wii or ps3. NO POINT in buying an xbox. SORRY.The people that argue that xbox is better are madd and frustrated that theyve had xbox for so long and have all these games and they dont want to go through the hastle of switching systems and catching up because xbox dominated for a while. Face it ps3 has better hardware and is better. Xbox’s tried competeing HD disc already failed to ps3's built in blu ray system. Everone is sponsoring Blu Ray and all movies are going to be made on Blu Ray,search google see for yourself.Also im so tired of hearing people say i wont buy Ps3 because of the price, well look at all the hardware comparisons i made up there thats your answer.Lemme show you something. The Xbox premium system is 400 , ok there HD DVD drive is 200(HD DVD failed to take over market) , ok and there Wireless online recievers is atleast 100. Now how much does that make 700 without the 10 times bigger hardrive and more powerful processing and COMPLETELY FREE ONLINE GAME PLAY.And for the people that argue about how much more xbox has sold then ps3, well did you ever happen to think about how many years 360 has been out and ps3 has just dropped in nov,OF COURSE 360 IS GOING TO HAVE SOLD MORE,they’ve been out way longer. You xbox players better just drop the argument because this says it all right here. There you have it .I think i prove my point.Anyone that is going to say some stupid comments back to this , im not even going to take the time to come back and look at this blog so your words wont be heard. I read about this stuff every day and listen to what the big industry heads say, i would give it to xbox if they deserved it but they dont.take car ;{ oh yea and I own all 3 systems…

Video games! Rest in pieces. Hi, my name is Steve. I am a 33 year old college graduate and now a small business owner in N.C. The reason for these statistics is to show that I am a actual electronics consumer and a regular educated citizen. I am a living dictionary on every system that has came out since the Atari. I have loved playing video games as long as I can remember. Alas, it seems I have spent more time fighting manufacturers as of late than I have the villains on my favorite games. This morning I decided to hang my gear up and quit fighting with the all powerful Microsoft. As you might have guessed it had to do with a new Xbox 360 I paid $400.00 for. Well it appears when I went to turn the system on after a hard day of work yesterday Oct 27th nothing happened. Upon further investigation, I realized that the power supply box had no light illuminating which means no power. Well I trouble shot for a good hour and finally called Microsoft, in which I got in contact with someone who could barely speak English and wanted me to go back over everything I already tried several times, but to make them happy I did it again. This phone conversation took about an hour total, “of course most took place on hold”. Finally the man I had been talking to whom acted like we were making a drug deal or something, I say this because he would not tell me his name, or were the office was located or pretty much would not tell me anything when I tried to be sociable, I was going to just ask how the weather was there. Anyway this same secretive and blunt phone operator made me repeat everything five times over the phone, probably from lack of listening or caring, but we finally got to the issue once he finally registered what was said. Then this nameless phone operator “remember he would not give me his name“, even though he had all my information, he told me to call \back in two hours and do the waiting and talking all over again, as he told me he could not help me even though my Xbox is supposedly fully covered with a warranty. Must have been break time I guess. I thanked the man for nothing and then hung up. Now I will illiterate on why I said earlier in this Story this is my last war with Microsoft. Because I will never, ever, ever, buy a system from Microsoft again, and I can pretty much bet after I spread my story from coast to coast a lot of other people will not either, especially my network of friends and family. Lets forget the fact that the original Xbox I bought went haywire years ago after only having owned it a couple of months, lets forget the fact that my new 360 just went kaput after having owned it only a couple months, the customer service issue alone is enough to send this previous big Xbox spender running. I calculate I have spent at least $2000.00 dollars in games and peripherals since I purchased this a couple months ago. And now I say no more Microsoft. In my research to get this fixed I have read countless stories of this poorly built system and the constant problems with customer service, many of which I have experienced. So I am off to buy a PS3, I regret I ever left their following and can only hope they take me back as a lifetime hardcore member. I cannot ever recall my old PS1 or PS2 letting me down, so I am sure the PS3 is much the same. If I ever do get this so called warranted piece of crap Xbox 360 fixed that is encapsulating a game I just paid 60 bones for that I have barely gotten to play and can not take out because it has flat lined. I will then sell it to some unlucky person for cheap and loss a ton of money, so they can enjoy it briefly before one of the many problems this cheap system has collapses. Goodbye Microsoft and Xbox, wish I never knew you and I can ensure you I will never buy from you again. Sincerely: Steve Speed Angry In North Carolina
