    Its not just that, with the ps3s complicated architecture its a cunt to program for. The 360 is very similar to a pc so developing good quality games for it is less of a fart on.

    I know Sony have lots of die hard fans from the ps2 era, and I can see a couple of people on here who are blinkered about the whole thing. But what they people need to realise is that the xbox is established, and with an established user base... they have an instant large market to target.

    If i was a developer my priority would be the xbox 360 for any next gen game, and the nintendo wii for anything less demanding. This is because it would be cheaper to develop a good game for, and because there is a huge market ready to buy it.

    THere bringing one a sony out with dual shock built in hopefully it's not as plasticky and cheaply made as the sixaxis ones - feel rotten compared to the 360 one.

    canny pissed off that they've not only just knocked £150 off what i paid for the console but are now bringing out new controllers which will be another 60 quid for a pair. At least when microsoft dropped the price of xbox, they gave us all a controller and some games free

    With the PS3 with every update sony release the machine is slowly getting more powerful, I've been watching DVD's upscaled on it and it's incredible. I've got FIFA 08 to keep me going to pro evo and the graffics on it on HD are superb, it's just a shame I dont like FIFA as it sucks compared to Proevo. PS3 isn't bad online, I've had many a RFoM battle online and it rocks but admit its no Halo 3.

    Which begs the point, FPS are shit on consoles anyway so who cares? If it aint on a PC with a mouse and keyboard its shit and I'm sorry but thats a fact. I'd rather have Team Fortress, CS and Day of Defeat over any Halo title any day of the week. Let's see how well HL2 does when it gets ported over, I bet it plays shit with a controller.

    No games support keyboard / mouse so while it's handy for linux etc, it's pretty pointless until the games come....

    yeah, you can plug a usb keyboard into a 360 for text input purposes also, but like the ps3 no games have been made to take advantage of that fact. i've become accustomed to using a controller for fps games, but after many years of pc gaming i'll admit it was a bitch to begin with.

    I just can't use a pad for FPS. I started my FPS career when I played Quake I online and once I found the right configuration for my style I was away. I was majorly involved in Quake II from the beginning and got in on the clan scene to see what that was all about, I was hammering the PC that much that I was in the top 20 in the europe at it at one point on the ukccl rankings.

    Then a Mr. Freeman discovered me and I was wooed by the campsite that is Counterstrike!

    So the whole idea of using a pad and having no control of the axis properly is a bit alien to me and I'm guessing many, many others.

    Tell you what is mad mind, people who actually win money nowadays playing counterstike professionally. I saw something on Sky the other day and there were people in all sorts of gaming comps - fifa, pro evo etc etc and they were actually making decent bubble from playing poota games. Oh how I wish I was a young boy again, I would of been rich!
