anybody else taking tuesday off for this? Are the PS3 owning crowd going to finally take the Transformers DVD out the blu-ray drive? LET'S ALL GET SUPER PUMPED BITCHES

I forgot to pre-order it and now everywhere is claiming to be "sold out" so I'll probably pick it up in June or something when it becomes available.
Are you PUMPED about Wii Fit? You get to stand on a board which sounds like the second best form of exercise (after sitting on a board)

I'm so pumped about GTA IV that I'm not going to buy it until June in order to savour the anticipation for an extra couple of months. If that still isn't enough for me, I might even wait for the PC release.

I don't know why I'm lying to myself in saying that I'm not going to bother getting it for a few months. It's pretty obvious that I'll buckle and preorder within the next couple of days, if not wait outside Game at midnight to buy a copy like I did with San Andreas.
Plus I've got next week off, to watch the snooker. So I can spend a fair amount of the week in my pants playing it.
It's going to happen isn't it
What are the odds of x360 and ps3 people being able to play together? none.

None. Imagine how much more heated the battles in something like Call of Duty 4 would be if you could have literal platform wars. It's what the xbox community needs to bring it together. It would almost be worth trying to link the two networks, just for that. As long as some kind of patch was applied to the xbox version of the game, to cut the frame rate in half.

I must say that I'm rather non-plussed by this.
I'd have expected you to walk out of your house, punch a few passers-by, drag somone out of their car (despite their cries of, "Yo! What you doin', muthafucka? Dat my ride!"), drive straight over to the nearest branch of Game, fire a bazooka straight through the front window, then take a flamethrower to the whole neighbourhood.

I have to choose which console to get as this year's freebie in June. I'm leaning toward the PS3 at the moment, but I suppose I might consider the 360 if someone gives me a reason to. Plenty of you have one or the other, so what's the forum verdict?

Get a 360 if you want more choice in games and a better online experience.
Choose a PS3 if you want to watch Blu-ray films or if the volume of the hum your console makes is an important factor. (Or if you want to play Gran Turismo and Metal Gear Solid)
I'd go for the 360. Although if you're thinking of selling the console on you'd probably get more for the PS3

Well it depends. If you like games, you should get a PS3. If, however, you like being called a fagot by 12 year old Americans while getting your arse kicked at any one of the 567 identical FPS that make up the 'espansive' list of available titles, then sure, get yourself a 360.

I think it would be more accurate to say "if you like FEWER games then you should get a PS3."
Also, if you're freaked out by having too much choice, you don't like downloadable content, or you like games that contain lots of features and surprises, then definitely go for the PS3. Also if fast frame rates make you feel queasy, then again. PS3. They like to keep that shit locked down.

That doesn't really make sense. Most of the generic shit FPSs like Turok and Turning Point and Jericho also came out on the PS3. It's just that the better stuff like Gears of War, Mass Effect and Ace Combat 6 came out on the 360, not the PS3, and none of those are FPSs. And then there's Halo 3. You surely can't be arguing that PS3 line up is quality over quantity because it gets crap like MOH: Airborne and doesn't get Halo 3?

Don't forget though that Haze is coming out soon on the PS3. Then you'll be able to play something pretty similar Halo3, just not quite as good. And maybe one day Killzone 2 will come out for the PS3.

also if you get a ps3 you can join waynster, darryn and ringo for some multiplayer. Getting a 360 only means that you'll end up being bombarded with messages saying "Mister Egg invites you to play" when you're trying to watch your download of Top Secret!

Well that's surely just focusing on things which have already come out. If it wasn't obvious, I was joking about the generic FPS.
But I think personally that there are more titles which appeal to me coming out for PS3 than for X360. Things like GT5, Wipeout HD, Little Big Planet, and there are plenty more. There are also plenty of other decent titles which are coming out cross-format.
If you're talking about exclusives, then it seems to me that most of the major exclusives for x360 (and yeah, you can probably correct me on this but it's how it seems) are FPS. And if you're like me and don't actually like console FPS games, then there's not much draw there.

thing is ringers, you probably don't hear about the live arcade titles that are released each week, some of which are fairly awesome. over 120 of those bad boys now.

Ok, that's something the x360 has going for it. I'm not saying the 360 is shit, I'm just saying I'd lean towards the PS3 because I prefer the kind of titles which are being released for it. I don't think that's so hard to understand really.
