ive turned to the dark side....ive bought an xbox 360

i decided to get myself a 360 so i could get ninja gaiden 2...which i still dont have since its been all mgs4 the last week. anyway i got it and had a quick go of prey and the ninja gaiden 2 demo and i must say im very dissappointed with it. from what i hear the fanboys saying i was really expecting some sort of super machine but its far from it.

the menu isnt complicated but its just not layed out as easily as things are on xmb. the control pad is nice to hold though, i always though they had huge pads but they are fairly handy. anyway i stuck on prey and the jet engine started up. compared to the ps3 this thing is unbelieveibly loud, i bought the elite because i thought it was more quiet than the others but i was wrong. prey was a piece of crap but its old so ill forget about it.

the xbox market place is great it puts shame to the playstation store. there is 100's of demos for all games out which was great i downloaded a good few demos there. while ninja gaiden was downloading i got to work on filling the 120gb hdd then i came across a snag...the piece of crap cant copy music and videos from an external hdd or data disc. if i want music i got to rip it from all of my cds and if i want videos i gotta buy them off the store..this is an complete joke. i have to rip over 1000 songs from cds that only have about 15 songs. i had my full music collection copied to my ps3 in a few mins.

anyway i got over it and ripped 2 cds onto it and it took friggen ages there is not a hope in hell im gonna go and rip 1k tracks onto this. anyway started up the ninja gaiden 2 demo and i was able to listen to my music in game which was pretty cool unlike the ps3. anyway i started the game up and i really couldnt see a difference in the graphics from the ps3 version. this was supposed to be the best the 360 has got graphicly and all that but it really wasnt that great at all. the fighting was far far better though i loved chopping people in 2 and chopping all their limbs off.

so at the moment i feel i have wasted a lot of money buying a console that really doesnt offer anything better than what the ps3 has. i can play music in game but getting the music the the hdd is a serious task. it has good exclusives but (at leased ninja gaiden 2) isnt as good as all the 360 fanboys make it out to be. i guess i cant really compare the 2 systems yet as i have 19ps3 games and 1 360 game but first impressions of it were bad for me
