Actually it doesnt look like it at all, except the fact that its black. I like both, and had both but i like xbox live much better than psn, i like the ps hardware better than the 360's, the interface for ps is amazing but, the games are more vast and add-ons release earlier on 360.........

either way they both have ups, but nothing beats xbl for online play imo.
3rd, Chef, get a 360 and join the rest of the world. the hardware is fine at this point and cheap..

I'm cheap, so I like the free online play with PS.

bill gates has enough of my $$$$$....i bleed sony blu-ray!!!!

Xbox Vs. PS3: Round 1

Pretty intricate point system with this video.  There are in all 11 rounds and not biased.

wow I feel special again, my comment was turned into its own thread.. who did this, Steevols???

Since were here.. I dont know how you guys can use the x-box controller, so odd..  I mean just look at that big goofy fisher price my first controller looking thing  makes me mad just lookin at it.. lol..

While I prefer my PS3, I have had failures with both systems.  The 360's GPU melted and just recently the PS3's bluray drive has stopped accepting/ejecting discs.  Keep in mind that these are both first gen systems I've had since their launch so I guess it's not that much of a surprise that they both would have problems.

Oh, I forgot to say that I prefer PS3. 

I like how the guy says Sony set the standard for the controller, when it's made almost completely of stolen ideas from Nintendo.  It's not just the motion detection of the Wii.  Nintendo was the first to have:

Shoulder buttons: SNES
Trigger: N64
Thumbstick: N64
Rumble: N64
Modular controllers (only really copied by the Dreamcast with the VMU)
Motion sensitivity.  You can count eye-toy if you want (Sony) but it doesn't use a controller...and well...it sucks balls.

And that's just physical hardware.  Nintendo is the most innovative of them all, the competitors just put their own spin on it, doll it up, and play it off like it was their idea.

ANYWAY, back on topic...

I prefer the 360, and I think it was smarter for them to place the thumbstick on the left higher than the right.  I think my thumb naturally rests better in a straightened position parallel to my other fingers instead of canted downward.  The only reason I wouldn't have both of these sticks placed higher on the controller would be to make it useful for more than just FPS games.
That video was pretty good, but it's still just his personal opinion.
