The PS3 is looking pretty good

Borderlands... I think previous posts in other threads show my view on that game. I won't say anything since it wouldn't be anything nice. Not sure how it relates to Demon's Souls, but okay, if you see a resemblance, I'll accept (sometimes people can see things in different ways).

Demon's Souls is like Dragon Age on the surface, I guess. But I never felt doom during Dragon Age. Something about Dragon Age felt a little, I dunno, hollow? It's hard to describe. Again, it's not a bad game (I like it) it's just missing something that I can't put my finger on.

If I had to say Demon's Souls was like anything, basically if Castlevania: SOTN and Shadow of Colossus slunk off into a corner somewhere, nine months later, they'd be cradling a baby named Demon's Souls.

Hahhaa, well, I say Borderlands because it's like that in the sense that if you go the wrong way and you suddenly meet up with a guy 4-5 levels above you you're dead meat.

Dragon Age, because Dragon Age requires strategy to win battles.

I absolutely loved both Dragon Age and Borderlands, but they're cross-platform titles so it does nothing to further our arguments.

I had some interest in Demon's Souls, but to be honest I will likely never buy a PS3 because I already have a blu-ray player and I don't have enough time to play all the 360 titles that I want to.

This is not a flame of either system.

Lies.

I have a ps3 and a 360, but I prefer the xbox live to psn because so far in online games there has been very little lag for the 360, but the ps3 has had ALOT in my experience.

I have a 360 only because it was the most affordable at the time. I would gladly get a PS3 if I could and perhaps I will one day. But before the 360 I had a PS 1 and 2 and frankly I can't understand how you can judge a console on the controller. I have gamed lots on both 360 and Ps3 and can used both with ease. It's a petty excuse.

While I'm one of the few Xbox owners who isn't very fond of Halo, I still like the games for the 'box' more than the ones on the PS3. Uncharted never got to me, I've always found Metal Gear incredible slow and boring. On the other hand I love the Gears Of War series, and would never even think of playing it on the pc. What I'm saying is, I love my Xbox. Havn't been a victim of the red ring just yet, and I'm glad to pay for live.

However I too think the PS3 will totally overshadow the Xbox within a couple of years, unless Microsoft brings us a new console alot sooner than Sony did again.

Also, the exclusive games for the Xbox are getting fewer and fewer, so even though I love my console, I have to admit that it's slowly moving towars insignifigans.

There's still plenty of exclusives coming, though some are coming on PC as well... check out:

Alan Wake
Crackdown 2
Mass Effect 2
Fable III
Halo: Reach
Splinter Cell: Conviction

There's plenty coming for 360 or PC.... PS3 is gaining ground by finally putting out titles that are worth playing, but they still have a lot of catching up to do. They may just pull even with 360 by the end of this console generation.

Well... Only one of those games Im looking foward to is Alan Wake... I might be picky, but hey...

Well, that's a matter of personal taste, but your original quote said that there were less exclusives coming, which simply isn't the case. Perhaps there are less exlcusives coming that interest you, but there are still many exclusives coming, and I for one am excited about most of those titles.

I've got a perhaps a little less-than-decent PC and a PS3. The combination is quite good, but I can forget playing Gears of War on my PC. It can't handle that. But GOW doesn't really appeal to me, anyway. I'm quite content with playing Oblivion again and again, all the quests, not to mention the SHITLOAD of mods...

PS3 came into its own last year. Good job, Sony! Kicking ass again, and making me wanna whip out my wallet one. Which I would, if the 360 and PS3 didn't have so many of the damn same games.

I have a 360 for about 4 years now, bought a PS3 Slim last September. After I got said PS3, I barely touched the 360 except for AC2 which I pre-ordered far before I had a PS3. That kind of sums up how I feel about both consoles.

But it's not that I hate my 360, it's just that I have no incentive to buy games for it. There aren't any exclusives I haven't played yet, and I'm not seeing many on the horizon (I'll sure as hell buy Gears of War 3, mind you, and maybe Alan Wake). And as for multi-platform games, why buy MW2 for the 360 when I can play it online on either the PS3 or the PC for free, just to name something.

What exactly are you paying for?

Microsoft manages all the servers as far as I know, unlike in the PS3's case where game developers have to manage their own servers for their own game and Sony just sticks with their own stuff like the Store and Home.

The servers are peer-2-peer as far as I know. There's not really that much managment there.
