Mouse will always beat a controller for fps, that's just a fact.

I feel like Kinect/Move will be the mouse for the fps... but I have nothing to support that argument, so we shall see. I have always wondered why they didn't try developing a controller with a trackball (IMO superior to the mouse for FPS gameplay).

Nope, those systems just aren't as accurate as a mouse (yet anyway) and I have a personal grudge against the whole motion control craze anyway.

Same.

Well I always get a lot of pain in my wrists when I try to play PC computer games but I do not with a controller. I guess I would sacrifice accuracy for comfort.

I prefer controllers for FPS games... just because I'm old and what I really prefer is the comfort of my comfy sofa over sitting in front of my PC and having my back hurt and my carpal tunnel get worse. And, I'll take my 50" plasma over my 23" PC monitor anyday.

Thus, controler > mouse.

You do realise that you can hook your pc to your 60 inch TV and use a controller while playing with it? There is no reason to not to use the best gaming platform because you like to use controller.

There is, it's called price tag.

I bought one of the first 360's, when they were first released here. Nothing but trouble. I went throu 3 of them (that ol' ring of death thingy) before i changed to a PS3. I have had no problems with it, but the major selling point, apart from reliability, is the Blu-Ray straight out of the box. Im a big movie fan and have a big T.V, so seeing Blu-Ray films for me is a HUGE plus towards the Sony machine. Im glad i didnt buy the HD-DVD add on when I had a 360, it had crossed my mind more than once. But then I thought Betamax was better than VHS. Shows what I know!! I guess its all down to personal prefernces (sp?). Although I love the Halo games, and GoW games too, I can live without them. The PS3 is the machine for me now.

Call me ignorant, but I didn't realize this to the other day. Sunday I went to my local comic shop and a friend was playing Capcom VS. SNK on his PC with a 360 controller. I had no idea you could do this. He said I had to have the controller with the USB cord.

So yeah you are right. I plan on picking up a controller on ebay soon.

I know I can hook my PC up to my big TV, but I don't wanna. Yeah I can do that and then I can play with a keyboard and mouse, but that's not easy to do when you're on the sofa. So you still need a desk of some sort to play like that. For me, it's not really about the controller, it's about being comfy

I voted PS3, i used to own an 360 ( was on my 4th) and finaly said to hell with them since there to unreliable and buggy at times, sure the PS3s online is not as good but it is free, i love how the PS3 also ahs blu-ray since alot of the older movies i try to find are only recently being brought back to life on blu-ray disc' only example would be Class of Nuke Em High.

I find the games selection is more my style on the PS3 since i grew up on the PS1 plus i can get all those old games to work on it, which is awesome cause my dad and I use to play crash bandicoot alot

PS3. Bottom line is that just a few weeks ago my xbox died again from the red ring of death(2nd time).

Burn me once, shame on you mircosoft. Burn me twice, you microsoft.

Even though I am done with the 360 i have always liked their controllers over the Playstations.

I have to say, as someone who has all 7th gen consoles - What PS3 exclusives? I mean, sure, MGS4, The Uncharted's, Heavy Rain and God of War 3....
Then what? There aren't that many good PS3 exclusives.

There is quite a few more than that and their isn't that many good 360 exclusives either. Both systems might have 10 really good ones. The rest are crap anyways.

However the main problem is that exclusives are disappearing on all systems.

If there were more than that, I'd have them... But I don't. Exclusives are usually overrated, anyway. Then the cross-platform games usually perform better on 360. So I end up just getting it on the 360 (I'm not going to pay for a PS3 game when it's going to run better on a different system I have...)

I wouldn't class games like Littlebig Planet isn't really exclusive as you can (and I have it) on PSP.

Are you sure about that? Because with your reasoning the 360 just lost Halo, Mass Effect and Gears of War. With that kind of reasoning, the 360 has the least amount of exclusives.

And seriously, Little Big Planet of the PSP? Its not even the same game. Have you even played the game?

And? I'm not a fan boy that'll defend the 360 to the death... Not to mention the fact Halo is just as overrated as CoD. The fact it's on multiple systems (PC and 360) means that it's not an exclusive.

I have played the game, but I played the PS3 version when it was released, and the PSP one like last year. And I don't have the best of memory. They played similar, but I don't remember exactly. From what I can remember, they were very similar.
And both have Steven Fry <3

Steven Fry is awesome isn't he?


Also I realize that you may not like certain exclusives on the PS3, but your list is really short and inaccurate.

The only reason I got a PS3 was for MGS4. I'm a total homo for Snake. <3
In fact, I have a lot of the list, bar the racing games. I hate racing games. Most of them I don't play anymore, because I've completed them more times than I can think. Also, I'm not a huge fan of FPS' because they're totally over done nowdays.

I'm not looking forward to inFamous 2, though. I thought Cole in the original was awesome, and they just went and messed him up.

What did they do to Cole?! I am worried now...

I usually never look into the actual story or gameplay for upcoming games, (well maybe the last month). To many Fable mistakes for me to get hyped about games. I usually like them more if I do not read into the hype.

I agree with you on FPS games. About the only one I have really liked lately was Killzone 2 and I do not know why. I wasn't a big fan of Resistance and I only played Halo Reach because of habit.

I have given up on a lot of racing games myself. About the only ones I really like are the Burnout Games.

And yes, MGS4 is probably the one game on PS3 that you should by a PS3 solely for. If I had a homo crush it would be Snake.

The voice actor has been changed, too. =/

Woah...I didn't know that. Well hopefully the game will be good enough to disregard this screw up. I don't know...that is a major change from what made infamous good.

Let me guess.. It's being voiced by that pillock from Uncharted isn't ? He voices everything on the ps3. A good reason for avoiding it! I hate recognizing voices across different games.

I know what you mean. I stopped watching Bruce Willis movies after Die Hard 2. I couldn't stand hearing the same actor's voice more than a few times. Seriously they all should just do one movie or game and then go back to working at McDonald's.

Well, I think we can all agree - He should be voiced by Jason Statham, and Zeke by Bruce Campbell.
