1. The controls are great.
2. So is the rest of the game.
3. You have evidently never seen an actual baby.

I think the best 360 v. PS3 argument might be a library based one, they both have a few nice exclusive titles, they've also got a shared library, but I've never looked at the PS3 exclusives enough to really decide if it's better or worse than the 360's. Though, the gaming mice for the PS3 that I saw someplace for it did tempt me a bit. Probably the biggest hit against it though is the price.Spot1990 said:
So, let me see if I can make one of these:
The 360 is a better than the PS3 for a couple of reasons, first, its cheaper, if that's not an issue then congradulations, but, a cheeper console means you can afford more games. It has a larger and older library, since older games come down in price, again, you can aford more games than you could with the PS3. Because its a larger library, the 360 has more variety in its titles. Finally, and this goes both ways, there's a lot of 360 exclusive DLCs that don't make it over to the PS3, even on major AAA titles like Fallout 3 (though it finally did after 9 months of waiting.)
You can flip it around somewhat, but, Sony has made the bluray drive a major selling point, and marketed it as a media box, which causes things to get screwy, and leads to precicly the arguments you were talking about. Maybe "the bluray disk format allows for larger game data files, which in turn allows for better graphics, and more game content." But that strikes me as a weak argument. The other one that might be legitimate is "the cell system processor offers more processing power than the 360's CPU." Which is true, but the trade off is it ends up being a ***** to port to. It doesn't help that their library's exclusives kind of lack a killer ap franchise like Halo or Gears of War. I've seen Resistance, Killzone and Imfamous touted as such, but somehow I kinda doubt they really hit that quality. The Uncharted series might be the begining of one though. Then there's the ability to use a mouse I mentioned earlier, which honestly is the closest to being tempted I've gotten.
EDIT: not a strictly rediculous argument, but it drives me up the wall every time I hear it. "Titan Quest? Wasn't that that buggy game that kept crashing?" or "I heard it terrible, buggy as hell" It drives me up the fucking wall because the word of mouth started with a poorly cracked pirate version that broke the street date, and would crash whenever the game did an internal security check.

As far as I can remember, Robotnik has been his Western name and Eggman was his Eastern name. Robotnik I always considered to be canon due to the Sonic comics showing Sonic's 'creation', at the hands of Doctor Kintobor, [get it?]whom after another of his science experiments go wrong is transformed into the evil and twisted Doctor Robotnik. But since they tried to re-invent Sonic with Sonic Adventure, they changed his name over here to Eggman as well.SkullCap said:
Me and my dad both think that he should still be Robotnik, but hey, ain't nothing we can do to change it, besides its a dead franchise now anyway, congratulations Sega!
I personally don't consider it ridiculous, but I've been arguing a lot with my friends over the point of releasing the same Sport game every year with the major new feature being that all the team transfers have been taken into consideration and the kits have been updated with the new sponsor, something which I personally beleive should be DLC.
The thing is it's not really more expensive. The hardware itself costs a bit more, but unless you're the sort of gamer who has to run everything on highest settings, you can make a budget custom build last years. Medium settings on a PC is is the equivalent of a console game graphically. Then you take into account the games are cheaper, and there's loads of free ones (no not piracy) that argument is kinda flawed.beholdmycape said:

probably my brother saying "nah, ill beat so badly" whenever he balls himself together to play any game with me. it usually ends with him:
1. crying because "its unfair".
2. i can only use this and that, because else "its unfair".
3. him ragequitting, shutting off the wii and going back to CS.
he has an IQ under 6, im pretty sure of that.

No worries.secretshadow90 said:
And when people ***** at me I shut my ears down and smile to myslef in ignorant bliss. You should try it.
I have to say, I think arguments that consoles just work are fairly strong. Yes, a 360 can get the RROD, but unless that happens, you can count on it to do what you expect it to do. You don't have to worry about drivers, or system requirements, or wonder why the hell a game keeps crashing, or wonder which of the 40 processes running might be slowing it down. You rarely have to install anything, rarely have to worry if you have space on your hard drive, and if a patch comes out for a game it will be downloaded for you, provided you're online. Also, while consoles can get viruses, they rarely if ever do. Even if they don't "just work", they do tend to work more often than PCs.
That's not really a good argument anymore. I don't know about pricing in other countries, but you can get a new PS3 in the US for $300, which is only $50 more than a 360 with a HDD. That's less than the price of a new console game.Starke said:
I actually don't see a problem with this. If someone loves achievements that much, well... whatever. Different people get different things out of games.squid5580 said:
When I was in second grade a kid tried to convince me Sonic was a better character than Mario because he was, and I quote, "in your face".
You kids think you know what a console war is like? You don't know nothin'. You've never seen what blast processing can do to a person.

Right back at ya , I remember the C64 vs Spectrum days(actually there's a few retro forums where that fire's still burning),nothings really changed .Bediz said:
