Awesome game. I think I'll play it right now...

Hey I am stuck on what to get. I sold my PS3 for $200 and bought my JUNO60 Synth. I am getting my tax return here in a couple of days and I want to get another console. Should I go PS3 or 360? I really am not into blu-ray movies, it's all about games for me. And I want a working system that isn't going to crap out in a month like my brothers 360 elite. Any suggestions?

PS3s are built much better, there is less of a chance it will "crap out" on you.

As for games, both systems have awesome games for it. 360 has Halo and Fable. PS3 has Metal Gear Solid, God of War, Uncharted 1 and 2, and the upcoming Heavy Rain which looks good. Most games, though, will come out for both systems, like Final Fantasy XIII. Although Final Fantasy XIII Versus and Final Fantasy XIV will come out just for PS3.

As for online, both systems offer a great online experience. However PS3 online is free, and 360 online will cost you $60 per year. The only disadvantage for PS3 online is that it doesn't have cross game chat, where the 360 does.

Another big factor is your friends. How many of your friends have 360s and how many have PS3s? Cuz you of coarse want to play with your friends.

If you're not into Blu-Ray now, you may be in the future. So that is something to think about too.

Bottom line: I'm very happy with my PS3. More so than I was when I had my 360 before it broke.

Another thing to think about for ps3/360:

are you a big PC gamer too?

with the 360 being made by microsoft, and most games for PC being microsoft.. If you get the 360.. most of the games you might get can also be bought for PC (and, between a decent PC and a 360.. there's no contest

), so if you want your PC games and some games that you can't find on PC, go for the ps3.

also,
just bought flower.
flippin' love it, man.

Am playing Mini Ninjas. At first look it seems to be some sort of childrens game. But it's actually awesome. It is ninjas, so how can it not be awesome, right?
Plus it's an easy game to get a platinum trophy (which I am working towards right now)
I definitely recommend this game.

Any thoughts on Heavy Rain?

Demo is out the 11th this month, BUT

go here: http://www.precinct52.com

Register, (don't wait for email, you can just login)

The four pieces of evidence are:

• Short cigarette (117b)
• Origami bird
• Coffee shop C (it says "diner")
• 117h (tyre tracks).

And get a code to download the demo now!

I played it yesterday, and it is certainly.. interesting. Don't know if could play a full game like this. But if you just think you're playing an interactive movie it's kinda cool i think. Don't know for sure if i will buy it.

I've seen some killer videos of heavy rain. And Famitsu gave it a 37/40 http://www.psu.com/Heavy-Rain-scores-bi ... 614-p0.php

Demo out today!!

I just played InFamous through. Pretty good game, not mind blowing, but a very solid experience. I recommend it.

Played the demo, whoa, it's insane! The visuals are quite frankly mindblowing, I think this could be spectacular if the full game goes the right way!

So I just got Heavy Rain. It got some great reviews, so I'm eager to play it. Will report back once I've beaten the game.

I also pre-ordered Final Fantasy XIII which comes out March 9th. Can't bloody wait for that one.

Playstation Network is down at the moment and nobody knows why, people seem to think even Sony don't know why it's down. Needless to say I can't even play games offline as its currently corrupted my trophy information.
