I do agree a lot of console games out there are too straight forward and don't require any challenge, but still if there were no consoles gaming wouldn't be as popular.

The one thing I really don't like is the console only-titles: I like Gran Turismo, Metal Gear and Final Fantasy (for example), but I can't play because I have to buy a console that doesn't satisfy me.

Samething if you own a Mac, which are becoming popular.

PS3 doesn't have BC. I know they're developing an emulator, but just putting the PS2 hardware back in (the first PS3s had it) would be a far superior solution.

I'd rather download an emulator or even buy one instead of having to get a whole new system.

360...? Same price as PS3 at a glance, but requires you to pay for optional upgrades to even come close to PS3 functionality.

Actually before they decided to release the slim at 299, a 360 was about the same price as a ps3 after you bought everything to get it to the same functionality.

Last thing is a matter of taste: I don't like X-box games. The first Halo game was alright, and... well, that's it. Gears of War? Please...

I agree whole heartedly. Tis why I have a PC and a PS3, I can get the exclusive PS3 games, and 90% of the games out on the xbox.

Oh, and imho FPS on console sucks donkeyballs. My brother bought 360 + COD5. Sold it after 2 months (actually he put it at my house after 2 weeks and didn't look back untill he sold it. Gave me a chance to play Assassin's Creed on 360. What a noisy pos! My PC doesn't even come close to that noise level while putting out better graphics and framerate), he went straight back to COD4 on PC.

I dunno, I love the orange box on my ps3 just as much as I love it on the PC.
