Now that E3 is over I think it would be fun to have good ol' "my system is better than your system" -discussion.
I think we should leave Wii out of the discussion as it doesn't have the same market as pc and other consoles.
Because people like to compare prices I'll post my system with its "insane" price tag.

Every time I hear "in my opinion" or "just my opinion" makes me want to strangle a puppy. People use their opinions as a shield that other poeple can't critisize and that is bs.
If you can't defend or won't defend your opinion then that "opinion" is bs. Stop trying to tip-toe and defend what you believe in.

You were wrong. This has been discussed to death and it's only going to cause arguments, use the search function and go re-read some old threads on the subject.

No, you misunderstand; these are MADE with an Xbox Game, for Halo Fans. Is there any other game that can say the same? Note: NOT little one offs, but an entire nine seasons of a show based on that game.
TF2 comes in a close second with Law Abiding Engineer and The Demo Knight.
I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.
I echo the sentiment to search for the umpteen other threads on this. These sorts of topics always end up in arguments. Personal preference is, of course, personal - there is no 'better' or 'best' option.
