    Definitely helps with replay. I went through Uncharted again because of trophies, and had tons of fun just playing the game, but at least there was a point to play it again.
    I wish they'd get more support though. MGS4...c'mon!

    MGS4 still doesn't have them?

    I haven't played that in a while.

    I agree, but Sony still has quite a few blockbuster exclusives:
    Metal Gear Solid
    Gran Turismo
    Socom
    Resistance
    LittleBigPlanet
    Killzone
    God of War
    MLB The Show
    and others I may be forgetting.

    While the overall 360 library might be bigger, you aren't exactly going to be struggling to find a great game to play on PS3. Right now I have like 5 games that I want to play but have absolutely no time to play them all (NHL '09, Socom, COD5, LittleBigPlanet, The Show '08).
    I'd more or less agree.

    Have you played Socom yet? I hear it is total bust.

    And nope, no trophies for MGS4. I'm under the impression that they're not going to add them, either.

    I picked up Socom when it first came out. I'll admit, I am not as excited about it as I thought I would be.
    It's definitely fun, but there is something lacking. Now that I have COD5 I'm not sure how much playing time it's going to get.

    When I got Socom, it came with the "official PS3" bluetooth headset" for like $15 more. I figured at the time "Whatever, I'll get it for a backup". I have to say, that headset is really nice. I was really quite surprized at how good it is. It's actually is better than my other BT headsets (Motorola, and Jabra) and it pairs perfectly everytime in like 5 seconds after turning it on.
    Never would have thought.

    I have owned all three systems. The Wii is fun, but only when you have a group of friends over. We sold ours after about 3 months. The XBOX 360 is probably the best in terms of gameplay and online at the moment. I sold mine because the damn thing is so unreliable. I'd say 75% of the people I know who have owned a 360 have had to send it back at least once because of the Red Ring of Death. I currently own the PS3 which I love but not quite as much as the 360...yet. The Blu Ray player is excellent and the fact that it's constantly being updated keeps it at the forefront. The online play will eventually catch up with 360 and it's just a matter of time before the games are on the same level. In the long run I'd much rather have the PS3 over the XBOX 360. Sony will always be better than Microsoft in my opinion. Also, if you're a sports gamer, there's really no game better than the MLB The Show series which is PS3 exclusive.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    Jabra headset? Did you get that with Warhawk? I have warhawk but don't like jumping on random games...
    I heard the Socom headset was really good too.

    I've gone through 2 faulty 360's, and 3 faulty PS3's (I'm actually on my 5th PS3, but support mis-diagnosed the problem, the console was fine, the Sixaxis controllers just plain blow).

    No, it was a headset I got for work. It's nice for calls...better than my Motorola, but isn't as good as the set that came with Socom. Never would have thought.

    I'd actually like to use it for my work phones, but I think I'd look silly wearing a Playstation headset while in the airport. LOL! :D

    What the fuck is up with the new xbox experience. I received a message on my dashboard on the 17th saying that when I signed in on the 19th that it would download automatically and that would be that. Well, I'm signed in and nothing has happened. An ad on the marketplace says "2 days until the new xbox experience" and on xbox.com it says "1 day left". God dammit.

    I can't help but laugh. I was really curious as to how you got your insider information since the google couldn't tell me anything. Thanks for the heads up before I went off on a long ass microsoft rant. Then I would've look crazier than I already do.

    haha, I should have made up a big story about who I work for or something :p
    Xbox.com has been mostly updated today (you're going to be able to access Marketplace from there too it seems), dashboard makeover tomorrow. Seems they're going to do away with the twice a year updates and just update whenever they are ready to after this.

    I have a Wii and it is pretty fun, especially with other people as mentioned. Great party game. My kids love it too. Very kid friendly.

    I am in the market for a PS3 for Christmas though, beause of the Blu Ray player. My DVD player finally gave it up and I need to replace it.
