Hello ladies and gents boy has the last three weeks flown by. Anyways to get you all updated on my thoughts soo far with the ps3 I'll begin with the console in itself.

What to say what to say; to truely start off I was thinking about comparing my previous experence with the numorious years of owning a xbox360 to my newly bought ps3 slim... But if I did that omg it would take me forever to truely give justice to any justification I come up with to truely say which console in my own personal view is better then the other. So I wont even try comparing the two but I will give a few brief words on the P VS X console battle through. Being a techno freak I was purely impressed with the slim, there isn't anything about it that a gamer wouldn't be impressed with by either picking up the light weight wireless/corded controller that came with the unit itself or even tracing the hardlines of the ps3 even gives the mind a slight hazy feeling. Being the first time I got the chance to truely handle a ps3 controller without any store restrictions I couldn't believe how easy my hands fit the little lady. Truely I thought to myself that this is what a consoles game pad should feel like. To compare the xbox's pad to the ps3 would be like comparing a cadiallic to a bmw; both cars have their own personality but damn it you can tell which one has more bang for its buck. Not to mention the consoles individually pretty much speaks for themselves. The slim, pretty much oozes high tech stealth fighter looks. Compared to the usual microsoft's trademark tower of power fashion microsoft's pc's have been sporting for ages now...

If by judging from a glance at both systems you have to decide which one is better I would sadly say the ps3 would be and I would be mistaken as well. I'm not a xbox fan by any means but I'm a gamer by nature and damnit once more the console with all the games at the moment is the xbox. Not too mention the stupid lengthy updates the ps3 tends to get alot as well. I wish it isn't true but it is... Xbox's hardware is pretty crappy but that thing sure has alot of games in its librarey and darn it I truely miss my quality rpg games. I know yes both consoles almost get the same games but there are some exclusives that the xbox got that the ps3 didn't that I absolutely loved. Mass effect for one was a huge reason why I got a xbox in the first place and yes I wasn't disappointed what so ever by the title. Sadly I will miss out on the second game in the serious which is a total bummer. Also I really liked section 8 that just recently came out for the xbox as well.

Truely in my view I think the xbox has the edge soo far in the war, to me that system has the games I want which ps3 doesn't. But I'm happy that borderlands and alpha protocal is being a multiplatform release whichmakes the sting not hurt quite as bit. Anyways my minds tired I gotta get some sleep I'll type some more later about the games I picked up for the ps3....

Sony needs to realize that marketing their new PS3 slim with the slogan "IT ONLY DOES EVERYTHING" is a huge mistake which will only serve to further confuse and anger customers that later find out IT DOES NOT PLAY PS2 games... Nintendo Wii plays Gamecube games, Xbox 360 can play most of the original Xbox games, so why doesn't the PS3 (theoretically the most "powerful" of all consoles) do the same and play PS2 games for ALL models ????

I know they want to sell more PS3 hardware... but they are too stubborn to include the BC feature because they fear it will cut sales for the PS2 which are suprisingly selling strong to this day. Still a missed opportunity in my eyes.....

Oh yeah - although it can often be pretty bad - Microsoft customer service > Sony

@PUREPLA7YA: Thanks for the comment man I totally agree with you about the backward compatiblity. Its quite a shame that soo many of the great ps2 games won't play on the new generation system. Of course, Sony feels all to happy to resale ps1 games on their network but hire a few ingenius chinese programers just to write up the programing for the ps3 just to play the games probably never happen... Then again I hear programing for the ps3 can be very challenging soo I'm not even sure if its possible to write up some coding for the beast to play the ps2 games... Oh well thanks for reading my blog mate much love to ya! = )

I felt the shame after transfering from the 360 to the PS3 giving up such gems as GOW and Mass Effect but i soon found PS3 had some pretty nice equivalents such as Infamous, Killzone 2, MGS4, Uncharted etc but one thing that i would consider a massave advantage is the quality of the ps3, my xbox has died on me 5 times no joke and i dont even play the 360 that much, i lived in perpetual fear that the next time i hit the on button it would present me with a light show of red LED's, once they told me that the motherboard had been replaced with that of an elite console and hey ho less than a month later red light of death, thats shockingly bad, and not only that i found microsofts customer service to be the worst i have ever encountered, at least on sony you get to talk to a person not a damn robot, but yes all that said the 360 does have some fantastic exclusives in its roster but so does PS3 you just have to look for them, and im still praying for a PS3 Jak 4
