That's somewhat my feeling too, (I just want to own all the consoles, in case I don't miss anything big) but can you just contain it a little more?

I will get a 360 this christmas and depending on the PS3 possibly one of thoose next christmas. It is worth having both consoles but finances don't take such a kind view on such matters.

[DeathDude]

True enough I can understand the argument of so not to miss anything on both consoles but I look at it this way, for 3rd party games, ps3 will have them and any big games the x-box 360 will have there's a freakin good chance it'll end up on the pc like it's shown with Halo or Knights of the Old Republic.

Yea, I actually still wonder why they tote Halo so high on the XBox, still. I have it on PC. It's faster, easier to play, the multiplayer is more fun, etc.

I dunno, the only next gen console that's got my attention is the Rev.

Just to clear it up.

It was generally thought that the X-Box version was much cleaner, there were no frame-rate problems, and it wasn't easier to play, to add on to that, many people thought the multiplayer was glitchy and problematic.

For some reason, the morons decided that PC Halo would be better off WITHOUT co-op on the big wide web, which was a completely stupid move.

The big reason was actually that there was absolutly nothing new, two new weapons that weren't that great, and one new vehicle in multiplayer.
I own the PC version, only played the X-Box version at other peoples houses. It's better to own a PC version if you don't have the X-Box one, but to charge 50 dollars for a game that was already 20 bucks on the X-Box for little to nothing new at all was a bit of a rip-off.

Again, not my opinion, just what the general public thought, and the reason the X-Box Halo remained king of the platform.

[TheGiantMidgit]

The whole deciding factor for me was just the fact that I could barely aim with the XBox controller. Lack of co-op sucked to be sure, and I didn't pick it up for PC until it was dirt cheap, I'm not going to buy an FPS at full price (the only exception to that being Half Life).

[Blood-Pigggy]

I found it easy enough to aim with the X-Box controller.
But that's only until they decided to bring the Japanese version of the controller over to the US, those big hunky things were horrid.
