It is such a beautiful looking machine. I don't have any multiplayer games right now but I'll add you, LSD, when I get on.

I'm going to add you once I get up and go to the living room.

Yes they do but no PS2 games. They have PSone and small indie games. I did see Suikoden on there.

I bought an HDMI cable from monoprice.com for super cheap. No I didn't buy the remote and I doubt I ever will. I've never really liked the psx controller.... I know the d-pad is 'better' (I'm not a fan of the d-pad on either myself, give me a snes or saturn style pad any day.) then the 360's but over all I like the 360's layout more. I like teh shape and heft of the 360 pad, a dual shock feels to small and flimsy in my meaty paws. alot of people buy into that monster cable mentality, that your TV cables have to cost 50 bucks and be gold plated, lol. I got a 5 dollar HDMI cable it does fine. The 360 controller shape is far more suited for my hands also but I have tiny girl hands. Nah, I'll just bitch and moan about my stupid decision for the rest of my life.

I'll get both once I feel I deserve both.

Everyone's advice was important! I was originally only going to get one console and stick with it but I am definitely going to get both now. All of your points were well taken into account but on the phone today my dad was like "you should get a Playstation 3, I saw the new ones and that the price went down" so I had to jump on that opportunity. I was originally going to buy it with my own money but now I didn't have to.

Metal Gear Solid 4, Dead Space, and Uncharted.

So I took your guys' advice and got a PS3. lol. My PSN id is thefreshyk if you want to add me to your friends list. I'll get a 360 in a few months though.

I will miss you!

Uncharted.

Bought and downloaded. I am terrible at this game.

If the 360 is less loud than the Dreamcast then it's all good.

I don't mind paying for Live. I think the service you get from Live is definitely worth the cost and you can get it cheap on amazon. I didn't get a Sony, I got a Panasonic. Here's some pics of the set up.

Eventually. I'll see if I can sell my body to make the extra cash. I will be getting Windows 7 so that's a good possibility. Online gaming is probably the biggest draw of the 360. But I'm just not sure how much time I'll have for that. I might get a 360 later this year or early next year because my next semester is pretty relaxed so I'll have time to fuck around. I haven't been around much for a reason and these next two months will be hellish. I look forward to playing with you. Great post. Those are the reasons the 360 is still fighting for my attention! But I think right now with school gaming will be less of a priority and most it will be movies and TV since it's shorter bits of entertainment I can have people over for. Also, nice to meet you! Well then it's settled. I meant quality issues of the PS3, not slim. I don't expect there to be much of a difference. But I do care for blu-ray so it's only a plus for me. If the system was super expensive like before then I would be apprehensive about paying extra for blu-ray but both systems are the same price now.

I saw this on Friday and I LOVED it.

Let me start out by saying let's not make this into a flame war. I don't want to read baseless accusations and fan boy behavior. Rational thinking only in this thread! So I just bought a 50" plasma TV today and now I'm considering a console to get. I'm having a hard time choosing between which one to spend $300 on. PS3 Slim Pros: It's a Blu-ray player too Lots of good media center capabilities. I'm mainly going to be using it for media center stuff like watching movies, tv shows, listening to music. Gaming is more secondary. It looks sexy. The hardware looks good to me and I much prefer the XMB. It's much quieter. I haven't read about too many quality issues with it. I'm more interested in the PS3 exclusives like God of War, The Last Guardian, Uncharted. Cons: Online gaming isn't as organized. No BC. I would love to play the old PS2 games I missed out on. I don't like the controller too much. XBOX 360 Elite Pros: The multiplatform games seem to look better on XBOX. Better controller. Better online, though not free but still worth it. NETFLIX STREAMING out of the box!!!! omg this is a big one Most of you guys seem to have 360s so I'll be able to play with you. More FPS type games though I'm not into Halo or Gears of War. Cons: Loud as fuck. Though I know there are some quieter ones too but it seems to be a mixed bag. Ugly as fuck. I don't like the way the hardware or NXE look. Unreliable from what I read. Not a Blu-ray player. I'm torn. Help me untear.

That sucks. The computers at the VA are super locked down so I can't visit any sites I like to.

None of you can ever say you've played the worst game unless you're talking about this. http://www.gametrailers.com/video/angry-vi...rewattack/52921

Wait what.

I've been hitting the gym since I got back and I feel wonderful after my workouts.

I don't know how to do any of this. I could maybe install a skin since it's mostly automated but I wouldn't know how to work with any of the modifications to it. If I knew how to do it then it would be done already. :/

I'm not going to have much to play games anymore. I'm going to be working about 60-80 hours/week apparently with only one weekend day off.

Me. All I download now are the latest eps of the TV shows I watch. Maybe the occasional movie if I am really in the mood to see it and it's not available on streaming on netflix.

Tom Green isn't a very funny person.

I just played 5 minutes of left 4 dead.
