"Well, i've noticed that there seems to be a good amount of gamers on this board so I thought it'd be a good idea to create an OT thread where we can share friend codes and XboxLive tags and what not!

And of course to talk about games. I absolutely LOVE video games and yes, i'm one of those few gamer chicks out there. We are here! It IS possible for girls to like video games I swear! :D

Well, I had a question for you guys. I recently got a job and I've been saving up money to buy either an Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 (I already have a Wii btw)... I have enough money for a 360 and i'm pretty much leaning toward getting one right now, but i'm kinda having a dilemma!

The only console i've had for the past 4 years has pretty much been a Playstation 2 which I totally LOVE to death! Sony has never let me down and i've spent many an hour playing happily on my obsolete PS2 even 2 years since the next generation of consoles arrived.

So, I guess I have somewhat of an affinity towards Sony, but that's just bias on my part. What i'm worried about with the Xbox 360 is the INSANELY HIGH failure rate! (16% AHHH!) The pros of the 360 is of course all the great games out for the console and the great online support. Playstation 3 pros = Blu-Ray, much lower failure rate, and of course my slight affection/bias that comes from my love for the PS2.

So... which one should I get? O_O"

"I waited so long for Halo 3 to come out, and on the day it was released I rushed back home with it in hand and switched on my beloved Xbox... And there they were; three red lights, mocking me with their evil grin. I had to perform the towel trick 20 TIMES just to play the main campaign before sending the bastard back to Microsoft to be fixed.

And as if that wasn't bad enough; the idiots sent it back to the wrong address, so they had to send me a replacement... which they also sent to the wrong address. So 5 MONTHS later I finally got my replacement and a free controller for my trouble.

My current one has only given me the red rings once, but I think that was just a glitch, cos' it has worked fine ever since. Might have had something to do with the fact that I hadn't played on it for a long time. Maybe it was pissed at me. :)"

"Buy a Turk instead, I hear it’s composed of both PS3 and X-box components and plays a mean game of chess!

Just be careful playing “Thermonuclear War” against it, it’s a poor loser. ;)"

" Just to tell!
Im waiting for pc version of Mirror's Edge! The game music sounds great too!"
