That happens when you put the limited edition game and the limited edition guide together. Their powers or awesomeness combine.

oddly enough, that's one of the games that actually got me interested in actually purchasing a PS3. It looks beautiful

What is it? A platformer?

Yeah, basically. You get a variety of weapons(like a tornado gun). There's one part, early in the game, where you are "skating" on rails, escaping enemy ships, while a building is coming down around you. Its amazing looking.

I'm gonna go ahead and say it because it needs to be said..

I like my PS3 better than my 360, at this point.

I have played a PS3 many times before, but I've always been behind the 360 whenever one of those lame PS3 vs. 360 threads popped up at the other place.. and I still love the 360, but man.. right now, I'm all about my PS3. I have a feeling my 360 will be sitting on the shelf collecting dust until Gears of War 2 comes out. I may even just get multi-platform games for the PS3 over the 360 at this point.

Then again, maybe it's because my 360 is a piece of crap and there's something loose inside because it makes an irritating noise whenever I'm playing something, that sounds like it's completely devouring the disc (but it's not)..

As long as the PS3 has MGS4, yeah. :lol:

But there are PS3-exclusive games on the horizon which played into my purchase of the system:

Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy Versus XIII
God of War 3
Killzone 2
Resistance: Rise of Man
Gran Turismo 5
Silent Hill 5
Resident Evil 5 (rumor has it that the 360 version has been dropped by Capcom.. was met with repeated denials from Capcom, but where there's smoke there's fire.. something's up as far as that's concerned for it to pop up on several Japanese media outlets. Still.. just a rumor, and probably not true, given Capcom's multi-platformness of late, with DMC)

That's a pretty big list of exclusives.. enough to warrant owning the system.

And also.. Blu Ray. I don't have an HDTV yet (God, I wish I did... to see MGS4 in high def.. :() but I probably will by this time next year. Granted, there will probably be cheaper Blu-Ray players by then, but if you've already got an HDTV, that's a big reason to own a PS3.

And, again.. my 360 is a piece of crap. There's only so much screeching noises from the system I can take at a time, even if it's not doing anything to the discs.

Also.. my PS3 is SILENT! :shock:

My 360 has NEVER been this silent. Not even out of the box! The fans on the 360 sound like a jet engine, ready for take-off.

Even after prolonged use (the longest I've gone so far is about 3 hours) it's silent, and not overheated!
