yeah, seriously. I'm glad I have all three consoles now and I find these "Marvel vs DC" debates hilarious. If anything, the one constant is that the Wii is the big winner out of all of this because if a person buys a PS3 or a 360, the other console is most likely the Wii just because of the price

I enjoy the 360 and the Wii but I will never buy a ps3.

Lately I've played my PS3 pretty much exclusively and haven't even turned on the 360 save to download something here and there.

I've been playing MGSIV and GTAIV, and Ninja Gaiden Sigma before that.

Not much on the 360 I want to play until Rock Band 2 and GoW 2 come out.

That's how I see it as well. I love all three systems and I play one more than the other based on what game I picked up. GTAIV and CoD4 on the 360 get playing time, as does Mario Kart. However I played just the PS3 for MGS4 until I beat it and I play The Show on there a lot too. I'll pick up NCAA Football tomorrow on the PS3 since my friends that play sports games have the PS3. I'll get some of the songs by The Who tomorrow on the 360 for RB. The next big game I buy will be Madden on PS3 then RB2 on 360. I don't see why people act like one system has to be better than the others. All three have good games I want to play, just like Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, Ghost Rider, and Iron Man are all books I enjoy right now. All of DC's books aren't better than Marvel's and the opposite isn't true either. That attitude is dumb and limits what one can enjoy.

· Play from hard drive. Copy your games from the game disc and play directly from the hard drive. Not only will the drive not spin, but load times are quicker, as well. Of course, you will still need the disc in the tray to prove you own the game.

· Access Xbox LIVE Marketplace on the Web. Browse and purchase Marketplace content whenever you want from Xbox.com and it downloads automatically to your console. Purchase that new map, television episode, the latest Xbox LIVE Arcade game or set up a movie to watch when you get home from work.

· Dashboard built into the new Xbox Guide. For everyone who loves the blades interface, it’s not going away; they are now built directly in to the new Xbox guide. Every feature and option is available right from the guide. You can even access your full games library at all times. No matter where you are (in dash or in game), immediately call up your games played list and directly launch a game.

· LIVE Party system. Create a party of up to eight friends, and stay with them from one game to another, or watch a Netflix movie together, or share a slideshow of your personal photos. It works with all Xbox 360 titles, not just upcoming games. LIVE Party allows up to eight people to chat in the dashboard, so you can meet up before playing.

· Xbox LIVE Primetime. This whole new category of games is going to give you more reasons to get online with your friends. Games will support everything you’d expect, like Achievements and leader boards, but many of these games will include real prizes. You can invite your friends, and even set a reminder for an upcoming show. Each game is broadcast simultaneously, so everyone is answering the same questions. Many events will have a live host, calling the shots as they happen.

· Avatars. Your online identity started as a Gamertag - it then grew into a personalized Gamercard. Now, it has evolved even further into avatars. You can express your style, check out new outfits and share this with the community. Avatars will also be integrated into Xbox LIVE Arcade games, LIVE Party, as well as retail games.

· New display support. Because you asked for it, we are adding 16X10 over VGA or HDMI, and support for 1440x900 or 1680x1050.

This is only the beginning. Over the next few months, we will share more details on the upcoming changes.

God of War 3 will be great when they make it.

Resident Evil 5 will be cool no matter what system.

Gran Turismo is what some folks love (not me though).

There are great games on all three systems.

I'll get Fallout 3 eventually. Fable 2 I'll have to see.

On the Sony side I'm looking forward to Resistance 2 and their version of BioShock (good thing I only rented that for 360).

Also want to play The Agency.

I'm about to do something I thought I would never do and buy used games from gamestop because of a 25% off PS3 games coupon.
