Yeah, almost exclusively gaming. I have a boxee with navi X and a bunch of other toys on it for streaming media. I'm an sports game junkie personally. I had never heard of the frame rate difference between the two for gaming.

Possible....12-14 hour work days though, and small TV's in the rooms...don't know if it's worth it.

I was a Nintendo guy originally, but I've been perfectly happy with my PS3 for 4 years now. Among my gaming collection for that system: Bioshock, Little Big Planet 1 + 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, Uncharted, Far Cry 3, Fallout 3/New Vegas, Skyrim....but I highly doubt you want any time consuming material.

Meh, they're both antiques. Just get whatever next-gen one tickles your fancy in another year.

Re: OT - Fanboy fight: XBox 360 V PS3
One company made their product with a controller that f*cking required double A batteries.....system burnout rate on a 360 is something like 40%....PS3 is something like 3-5%.....that should tell you all you need to know.
If you're a 15 year old wanting to play FPS against other teens online, 360 is the way to go though.....

Or you could go the Wii U route....oh and I'd suggest getting Batman: Arkham City for which system you decide upon.

Yeah, looking more for something I can pick up on a Tuesday morning when I'm bored to kill 3-4 hours and then it may not get touched again for 2 weeks.

Now you're being helpful. How's the PS3 controller for the EA NHL series?

I don't think anyone argued otherwise......you also can do it for free, as opposed to paying a monthly fee for the privilege of doing so.

My comment was merely a response to this myth that XBox is the only system worth playing FPS on. But you're right 100%.

Re: OT - Fanboy fight: XBox 360 V PS3
To me, I think it's a flawless controller, lightweight, great range, long battery life, recharge quickly, durable as f*ck.......Xbox fans tend to like theirs, but I just find it unnecessarily bulky and awkward, not as durable (if my friends are any example, every single last one of them has seen the "red ring of death" as well, forcing them to buy a new system), and the whole battery thing was just dumb as f*ck on Xbox's part.
Like you I'm basically a sports games only guy.....and for FIFA, NHL, Madden, and NBA 2K, it's fantastic.

Re: OT - Fanboy fight: XBox 360 V PS3
I got red ring of death on my old 360 as well, but it was reasonably easy to fix. Apparently the fail rates are more or less identical in 2012 (6.1% vs 5.3%) since microsoft replaced the old, flawed motherboard. But yeah, the batteries in the controller thing was dumb as shit and a constant aggravation when I had a 360

You can get the rechargeable controller packs for xBox.
I still think I'd go with PS3 if I could do it over.
