and I got the cooling system gay thing, and 2nd controller and need for speed carbon.
Need for speed carbon is kinda gay so far the graphics even on my hd tv with the hd cable thing in looks not that impressive but pretty good I guess.

Lol. Microsoft sucks, even though they produced the most successful piece of media in history (at least as far as sales go so far. I don't imagine it will do badly as time goes on, though, halo3 doesn't seem likely to lose popularity).
I don't currently have either (got 360 on launch day and then a few months ago it started eating up every disc I put in to it so that it would only go to game menus and would fuck up when you tried to play. Sold it to ebgames, b/c they're too dumb to do more than start a game up to the menu ). When I get around to buying another tho I'll go w/ 360 again. It has the by far superior graphics processor (I don't know where all the confusion about graphics between the two systems comes from. PS3 games keep looking uglier than 360 ones and ppl keep saying PS3 has better graphics. It has a better processor, not graphics ) as well as a much better lineup of games. It's the exact opposite situation from the last gen - everything going to PS3 is a crappy port of a 360 game
BTW, playstation doesn't always win in the end. Originally Atari was winning, then I think there was some other craphole, then Nintendo had it for a while, then playstation had it for a while, now microsoft and nintendo are fighting for it. Playstation, b/c of its high price and lack of a justification for this price (its only advantage right now is a novel processor that noone can really use yet and which is worse at conventional game processes than the more conventional xbox processor) is not a real competitor at this point. in a few years, if blue-ray beats hd-dvd (which it should) then PS3 will take the top. Or PS4 probably. Until then, though, it's just the overpriced under-qualified wierd kid of the console world.
Btw, how did wii do so good? It's a gamecube with a new controller. Seriously, Nintendo is like afraid of technological advancement and they somehow make out GOOD from this? Really, it has like the EXACT same graphics, some of them even look worse. And the processor's not much better either. WTF happened to technological innovation? I mean, motion sensor controlers have been around for ages. Nintendo even used a crappy double stick system. Why not motion capture gloves? They've had those for years, and they're 100x as fun as wii's little sticks.

I love Halo 3 and I love my 360 - even though my first two broke! Fortunately I purchased the retailer warranty and replaced both consoles immediately (and even uprgraded in the process).
Nothing so far on PS3 is a must-play.

hahah why is it that anytime xbox is brought up no one talks about anything but halo. Who the fuck cares?! One good franchise isnt going to make up for the rest of the bs on 360. granted ps3 debut lineup wasnt all that great, sony is notorious for getting off to a bad start. so i wouldnt go sucking halo's cock just yet.

I can't believe Sony decided to use the same piece of shit controller for the PS3 that they used for the PS1 and PS2. It was shitty for the first one, shitty for the second one, and is still shitty for the third one. The controller alone is enough for me to say Microsoft > Sony. At least Microsoft realized that the first Xbox controller was a piece of shit monstrosity and released the Controller S. Then, they improved the Controller S for the Xbox360.
Sorry for rant

The controller S is just a rip off of the ps2 controller! Just like everything else that comes out of bill gates' brain it's a stolen idea with so called "improvements." That S stands for sony.

the fucking shapes are practically the same. It's a mix between the dreamcast controller and the Ps2 controller. The original x box controller leaned more toward the dreamcast side, as it was popular at the time. I even read about how that was the plan before x box even launched. You guys are brainwashed by someone that puts out shitty computer software and shouldnt even be in the gaming business.

You guys are brainwashed by someone that puts out shitty computer software and shouldnt even be in the gaming business.
The shapes are hardly the same. The Xbox controller is contoured to fit the human hand, while the PS controller juts out in such a way that it is impossible to get a natural grip. The PS shoulder buttons are shit as well. And the worst part is the joysticks. Not only do the PS sticks have convex tops that cause your thumbs to slip off, but the top of the stick is like 1/2" high from the face of the controller.
So, in recap:
Xbox Controller: -Fits natural contour of hand -Joysticks are not only usable, but comfortable with concave surface -Shoulder triggers require only index finger
PS Controller: -Couldn't really have a worse shape -Joysticks are convex, slick, in the wrong position, too tall -Shoulder buttons are retarded, especially when you consider that you need to use your index and middle finger on both hands in alot of cases. As if the grip due to controller shape wasn't uncomfortable enough, now you have to put two of your fingers up on the shoulder buttons, LOL. -Overall piece of shit
Consider a game such as Fight Night in which you have to use both joysticks to throw punches. When the match is getting intense and you're about to knock that mothafucka on Xbox, you can rest assured that your thumbs will be in a responsive position on the joysticks. With PS, your thumbs are flying all over the place with every punch you throw because THE JOYSTICKS ARE SHAPED LIKE MUSHROOMS

The original x box controller leaned more toward the dreamcast side, as it was popular at the time. I even read about how that was the plan before x box even launched. You guys are brainwashed by someone that puts out shitty computer software and shouldnt even be in the gaming business.
The shapes are hardly the same. The Xbox controller is contoured to fit the human hand, while the PS controller juts out in such a way that it is impossible to get a natural grip. The PS shoulder buttons are shit as well. And the worst part is the joysticks. Not only do the PS sticks have convex tops that cause your thumbs to slip off, but the top of the stick is like 1/2" high from the face of the controller.
So, in recap:
Xbox Controller: -Fits natural contour of hand -Joysticks are not only usable, but comfortable with concave surface -Shoulder triggers require only index finger
PS Controller: -Couldn't really have a worse shape -Joysticks are convex, slick, in the wrong position, too tall -Shoulder buttons are retarded, especially when you consider that you need to use your index and middle finger on both hands in alot of cases. As if the grip due to controller shape wasn't uncomfortable enough, now you have to put two of your fingers up on the shoulder buttons, LOL. -Overall piece of shit
Consider a game such as Fight Night in which you have to use both joysticks to throw punches. When the match is getting intense and you're about to knock that mothafucka on Xbox, you can rest assured that your thumbs will be in a responsive position on the joysticks. With PS, your thumbs are flying all over the place with every punch you throw because THE JOYSTICKS ARE SHAPED LIKE MUSHROOMS
Thats ridiculous man, the PS controller fits your hand perfectly. I think that both controllers are basically the same, the xbox controller is just fatter. And as for the shoulder buttons, you dont need to use your middle finger at all, unless it calls for you pressing down both buttons at the same time, which I cant think of a game off the top of my head where you even have to do that, the index finger can handle both buttons. Plus, it isnt unnatural to put your fingers up on the shoulder buttons, with the shape of the controller being the way it is your fingers are naturally up there anyways, and you just tuck your middle fingers behind the controller. Palms on the side of the handles. I think the design is perfect, simple and most importantly easy. Thats why its never changed.
The joysticks on the PS controller are not too high. And your fingers dont slip off, they are textured, so unless you are playing with greasy or wet fingers, you can be assured your thumbs arent going anywhere.

I can't decide if your a sony fanboy or someone who hates MS so badly they will spew piles of shit about the superiority of anyone competing against them.
