What JOB? You mean the one that pays you below the minimum wage? Judging by the allowance I'd be guessing he's a minor so.... that brings it down to the sad reality. there is this strange thing called GET A JOB.

I just bought my brand new console - a PS2. (Finally being in a position financially to indulge in gaming.) Right now, 360 wins over the PS3 for me in terms of games, in that 360 games cost RM5 here, vs RM150 for a PS3 game. That's something that can't be beat. ...on the other hand PS3 has Valkyria Chronicles and MGS4. But the 360 has Ace Combat 6 and HAWX, which are considerations, given that most of my gaming clan are on XBL - getting a PS3 would make me the odd man out yet again. *shrugs* All this matters not to me.

It's got nothing to do with anything else more than that. Depending on your preferences, you can have one or many. If you bought a console early and ended up after a while feeling like you made the wrong purchase between your choice, that's your fault. Don't go and blame it on some company for taking away exclusivity or whatever. I bought a PS3 a year ago and now I feel like I should have got a 360 instead as it's similar but I feel it's turned out to be the better one for me over all. It's ending up getting the same games I want on the PS3 and some more than I want. I haven't got the money to get a 360 now and selling the PS3 for a 360 is illogical, as it is selling any video game hardware or software as you get much less for it. Anyways, I'll keep it and buy a 360 eventually as the PS3 has it's own benefits and some games I like that 360 doesn't have... like... Pain. In the end, it's not about what system is better. One isn't better than the other, they're all just different and cater to different gamers. But that's getting less and less true between the 360 and PS3, since it seems the two of them basically share 90% of the same library. Besides a few games and many exclusives on the 360, the only difference is that 360 has the awesome XBLA and better online, and PS3 has Home, Bluray, a better standard controller for fighters, and it doesn't die as easy. The Wii is in it's own world, lol. I actually have that too, but it just feels so out of the 360-PS3 picture and can't be compared to those others. seriously, a person should only need to buy a console depending on what their preferences and tastes are, and what kind of games they like to play.

I have both the PS3 and 360 and so far i see them as both good consoles with good and bad points and not simply complaining about graphics or who's game is exclusive and who's is multiplatform. All i can say is try to see their marketing tactic and watch the idea crumble. Ive studied e-business for 2 years so far and can see this is one of the most popular marketing tactics to date.
