An EA representative for Germany said during the Games Convention in Leipzig that at EA they expect the PS3 to make the race in the long run. I agree. There have also been many headlines about XBOx equipment having techniucal problems, braking easily, and even burning. that is true for the box itself, and for accessoirs, like their wheel.

Funny thing is, I kind of want a Wii! :D Probably because I can get all the other games, or most of them at least on my computer anyway, and because that remote thing where you physically have to do something kind of looks entertatining - especially after a couple beers! I'll probably be one of the people who ends up throwing it through my TV set though! :yep:

Get Virtual Pool 3 then. The mouse is handled like the end of the cue.

After ten years, it still is what I - and so damn many others! - consider to be the best pool simulation out there. It plays perfect, and regular training with it even will improve your real pool playing.
