  I'm just gonna put it out there for me The three console thing if that works for you fine for me it doesn't.
  
  The Wii I tried it in Florida at a family reunion an I tried for 7 days to really like it but I just didn't get it. Some of my cousins had them an loved them but when it comes to the gamer in the family they all know who to bow down to. An I'm happy they found something that worked for them but I still love the aw struck look in there eyes when i put in MGS4 not in HD btw gotta love that.
  
  The 360 not bad really, main thing I don't like about it is its top games are shooters that just isn't for me. Also the bulk of the community there pushes that an I always hear what do you mean you don't like Halo or Gears Of War how can you not. That annoys me so bad people telling me I can't dislike a game because it sold X amount of copies. Anyway though another thing is the rocky feel of the 360 something that isn't a major deciding factor but something I notice when I touch move or hold the system. Something else that bothers me is the whole sold separately thing I know its the thing a lot of 360 owners seem to like but I need all that stuff an it adds up fast. One thing being the wireless, I know some of you don't mind running a 40 foot drop cord to your room from the modem or router but I have to have my wireless. Also as gamer who wants the full potential out of his system the Elite is the only way to go for me.
  
  On to the other games, well the ones that I would consider anyway. We already went over the fact that I don't do the shooter thing. Now Microsoft has been buying rpgs left and right jrpgs to be exact an thats all well an good. Although unlike some of you on the system I'm not new or casual when it comes to rpg gaming. Some would probable even say I'm unreasonable, comparing today's rpgs with the likes of Xenogears, Suikoden II and FFVIII. Now with that in mind as a non owner of a 360 seeing quite a few of these coming out exclusively for that system sparked a little interest. Although like I said before I'm not easy an I'm hardest on my favorite genre. Tales of Vesperia, never liked the tales series an all the praise it was receiving had to do with it keeping the same formula with what some call beautiful graphics. So of course based on that Tales came up for me at least as nothing more then a pass.
  
  Lost Odyssey a new ip coming out the gate with mixed reviews I had to look into it a bit further. Yet once again overall verdict was just another rpg with maybe a story slightly better then the average. Infinite Undiscovery, one of the more anticipated rpgs for the 360 being that Microsoft seemed to have personally had it developed for the 360. Although once the game hit the market an review boards it came out hurt with almost all but the biggest Infinite Undiscovery lovers saying it was nothing new, a solid rpg at best. Then that brings us to Mass Effect, pretty good overall although not exclusive in my book as it is on the PC. Which was said by quite a few people to be even better then the 360 version even by quite a few who had played the 360 version first. Now off the rpgs for the last one an on to a game that was carried through its life on the Playstation brand, Ace Combat. Now when this was first announced 360 exclusive I liked to had went BANKAI(bankai is a form of powering up kinda like Goku from DBZ going Super Sayian for those that don't know) an go on a rampage from anger. Although after the games release an going to play it at a friends house I couldn't help but laugh at him for buying the pack with the flight stick. After playing it an trying to honestly get into it as I had become quite the fan of Ace Combat through years past. It was just truly no better than AC4 an in fact AC4 was way better so no spilled milk there.
  
  Now on to the PS3 the console I personally own(not to be confused with the thought of I haven't or can't play the other consoles if I wish it is merely my choice) an have grown to love. I was one of the fools running around like crazy trying to get a pre order for one of these bad boys for the likes of actually wanting one an not to sell on ebay. An got a speeding ticket trying to do so, but I got in there just in time either way. So with that in mind an what I said above obviously I got the 60gb. Now the hardware itself the day I got it I felt like I was carrying the football out of EB games. We went to the store about 7 deep to pick this thing up as people had been getting jumped from the store for them an we weren't taking any chance. Hell even the clerk bagged it up in six bags before he gave it to me which was pretty funny because that day at that time EB happened to be packed an everyone was trying to see what I was buying. Needless to say I felt like the don walking out of the story as we took my friends black tinted out Darango to go get it.
  
  Once back at home we rushed inside to open this thing an all we honestly saw was love at first sight. Then after wards getting through Motor Storm an not being much of a shooter fan resistance didn't peak my interest until later which by then R2 was all the rage. I played a few good titles here an there nothing major just yet because like I said I'm an rpg fan. Now during this time I was really trying to stay focused on school so the lack of games for me anyway in the start wasn't that bad, an I have a psp which is amazing for rpgs. Anyway though by the time i actually got back in gear an still no rpgs in sight(at this time the 360 didn't have them either an like I said the ones it got didn't impress me either way) I started to check out some other things as I do at least try to mess with a few games in each area. Now I'm just gonna cut straight to it as this is running amazingly long an I'll be shocked if anyone actually gets this far. Heavenly Sword was a good experience but one I slaughtered in no time an only rented thank fully as it takes more than that to make me want to replay a game. Uncharted Drakes Fortune through me for a loop as I didn't expect like it as much as I did. An although not on a HD t.v. it was still amazing to say the least but once again for me not one I would buy. An in between all this I played a few psn titles that turned out to be quite fun.
  
  Also not to mention the flood of multi plat games that both PS3 an 360 have to offer kept me quite busy till present day. I had to mention the multi platforms as a lot of people seem to throw them by the way side as if they don't matter when they are some of the best games I have played. One I will mention as it falls under rpg that quite the lot of you seemed to had liked was Oblivion talk about people loving to throw stones on that one. I honestly couldn't get into it an I hated it I rented it an I tried to see what all the hype was about but sadly my little brother played ended up playing it more than me. That is just one of those titles that gets on my nerves from all sides because its one of those titles where people are like wtf do you mean you didn't like it. An as I said before I can't stand that.
  
  Now bringing us to present day its an exciting time for PS3 or 360 gamers as we have the flood of games coming like the ark was coming going to be needed again. Multi Plats are now shining more than ever an some long awaited updates an titles are about to hit us like a freight train. Of course besides all the multi goodness the big talk an main point of this topic is exclusives. Mainly LBP, R2, GOW2 and Fable, now to me all I really see is LBP, R2 and Fable. Like I said before gears just in not my thing an if its yours then oh happy day for you. Now LBP is something I don't think anyone saw coming not even me but after playing the beta I have no doubt my pre order was right. Resistance 2 one of the main reasons this interest me is because like I said the original caught my eye late in its day. An this one is looking bigger in every since of the word an better than the last an I'm actually considering a rent. An coming from me an official FPS hater if you will that is saying a lot.
  
  Now I know I'm on the PS3 of sorts but you can kinda call it a blend of PS3/ and or present day worthyness. Now on to Fable 2 as a rpg fan it has me quite intrigued as to weather or not I will like it as I wasn't to keen on the first one(ducks for stones). Although as my friend is an avid Fable fan I will go to his house an give it a try an see how it goes until then I just won't know. Now overall given what I have stated its Obvious the PS3 is still the best choice for me based on my needs an future wants. As for you, it pretty much comes down to what you like an if you think having all three or one or two will make you happy. For me at least for now this one will do.
  
  An one more thing I know I didn't talk about the onlines as they both are pretty much the same in all honesty currently. I can speak for myself when I say I don't nore have I ever lagged on PSN an the overall experience can only get better with both I would assume but for me that will be home. Now if you made it this for congrats an I hope you enjoyed it an understand this is my sole opinion an I speak for myself an no one else thank you.
  
  Also one more quick thing, why does everyone seem to keep forgetting that PS3 games are on Blue Ray as well not just the movies, just wondering about that. Ok I'm done now really I am.

  LBP Why oh why

  I try to get some sleep finally after days of trying an all of a sudden codes are flying from everywhere. Gamespot had another contest an seem to be giving those out an hadn't even finished or even started giving out the ones from the first contest. The LBP site is all of a sudden being extremely nice on the one thing I didn't post on because at the time the website crashed. One up post a question I pretty much predicted yesterday an would have gotten. I just don't know what to do at this point but cry I really don't.

  UK Frag Dolls ain't that bad 24hour record

  I've shattered that as I'm sure some people have on here before. If the record was Rainbow Six only though then they could keep that. Although its for Single FPS I could handle that, me an the boys Far Cry tearing it up. Although I'd rather have a shot at longest continues play at an RPG or an RTS eating and bathroom breaks heh good to go. Also I was wondering about the going outside thing myself I wonder if she had to run or something. Also one of things I read on another site people were asking if they could drink stuff to keep them up, I'd say coffee classifies. An honestly I like them a lot better then the American frag dolls I could see kickin it with them anytime.

  This was a response I did to this video http://www.gametrailers.com/player/32657.html
