So my Xbox 360 exploded.

[Beautiful End]

At the risk of sounding like a PS3 fanboy (Which I kinda am, sadly), I prefer a PS3 because of this:

1. I don't have to pay to play online. I don't always play online but when I do, I like to not pay for it (See what I did there?). Yeah, the online service for the 360 is much better, so...

2. Better selection of games. The PS3 has better exclusives. 360 only has a couple of games I'd buy specifically for that console: Gears, Halo, L4D, Alan Wake...I think that's it. The PS3 has GoW, InFamous, ModNation Racers, White Knight Chronicles, Little Big Planet, Metal Gear, Devil May Cry (Although with the newly released HD collections, they kinda lost that privilege), Twisted Metal, etc. All this has to do with your taste, however, so...

3. Games don't get scratched just because you sneezed too loud near it.

4. Blu-ray format discs are REALLY hard to scratch. If you do, you some some kills, friend.

5. They're more resistant to whatever.

I bought my PS3 used almost 3 years ago. It's a 60GB so it's an old model. I take care of it and all and it has never given me a problem at all. I thought it would break down a couple of months after I got it but no. Nothing yet.

I guess it's up to you and your likings. For me, playing online isn't a priority and graphics are not that important to me (Seriously, the difference between the 360 and PS3 when it comes to graphics is minimal. it's not like we're talking about 3D stuff and 8-bit graphics). Those are my two cents.

Hey, my Xbox can do fucking gymnastics. It just does not give a fuck. I have seriously had that thing fall while running like five times and it still keeps running like a champ. My Fallout 3 however is lost forever to the foolish actions of a close friend. Who seriously adjusts a console while a game is running? Hilariously enough I've had other games survive worse though. My friend's Dead Space survived a three foot fall in the Xbox while it was running.

...So it's the Xbox messiah? I mean seriously? It's still going after all that?

My PS2 has one fall from two feet high and it's spirit was laughing maniacally and flipping me off with both hands as it left the earthly plane. I mean, I know it's not even made by the same company, but...COME ON!

Some consoles are simply born great. Some consoles have greatness thrust upon them. This is the tale of an Xbox 360 Arcade. Once it was a simple console, lacking significant memory or durability. It was packed with a fucking Sega tennis game full of obscure characters from failed Sega franchises, like Sonic the Hedgehog. Then one day it cam face to face with a game. A simple game really, full of post-apocalyptic themes and brain dead super mutants. They fell in love at first play, but then, tragedy struck. The folly of ignorant friends, the carelessness of an owner that didn't know any better, and the game the 360 loved so much was lost forever.

It still remembers the last words of it's true love, sputtering and struggling as the careless owner tried to make a new character with a specialty in unarmed attacks. The 360 could hear the rhythm in the spinning of the disk, desiring only one thing from the only console that had ever shown it love. "Live."

And so it did.

Ah, I am but a simple teller of the tale. I am no true words craftsman, no master of the plot, no lord of themes. I merely wish to tell the tale that I have seen unfold with mine own two eyes, to bring the truth to all willing to hear. There is a savior, and it is born of the machines of men, the fires of man's trials, and the womb of true love. The Great Arcade shall rule forevermore.
