X360 is attractive because it came around 1 year earlier and has more games now, the PS3 has to catch up which it will, no doubt. Oh, and did I mention I am a Halo fanboy? So yes, x360 \o/
Thanks for the news zek, cause I don't look up sales numbers on purpose :)
man i wanted to use boldface too :mad:
PS3 = slightly fun + way to much money
360 = decent amount + fun
I just realized today I can buy a 360 for $189 used and then go buy a 20gb HD for about 69 dollars. Pretty good deal if I say so myself, hope by next pay check its still available.
