I'd recommend selling your Xbox. It's worth more that way.

The reason Xbox is more popular is that it panders to lowest common denominator, that is testosterone pumped americans who want to shoot shit.

If I find out that Alan Wake is coming out on PC - there's no reason to keep it.

I hate halo and Gears is crap compared to most other shooters (ie. CoD or MGS or BC2)

I thought heavy rain looked pretty stupid. All it is is QTE's and PRESS X TO JASON...

You're ignorant to the game. It is not mere quick time events, it's far more complex than that, also the key point of it is the story and immersion. Heavy rain could not have been pulled off with a set control scheme.

When you're working off innaccurate memes like "press x to jason" then you are clearly ignorant to the actual game, and I have no time for your type, if you would prefer to wallow down there.

lol a little harsh

But yeah, the game is more than that. Even in worst case scenario, I like interactive movies too!

I never really had much doubt that I would go for the PS3. Thanks for that comprehensive comparison though Carousoul, if anything I will probably just be making my purchase quicker now with greater confidence.

Are there any downsides to getting the slim model? I remember there was a problem with ps2 slims overheating or something like that? I might have made that up though.

Yes I do believe the PS2 slims would overheat. I'm not sure about the PS3 slim.

There was a problem with the PS2, although my slim never overheated.

As for the PS3 slim, there has been no noticable increase in overheating than the PS3 phat, so I'd say no. The slim is worth getting, and you shouldn't be worried by overheating.

The only time the PS3 is in danger of overheating is in extreme conditions.

Although I completed Uncharted 2 [which is one of the most intensely visual and resource consuming games in existence] in one day, and had no problems at all with overheating.

Judging purely on "Indigo Prophecy" I'd say the negative expectations are warranted. Indigo Prophecy was the single most boring game I've ever played.

dude i just watched a leaked video of that game where you get to watch the main character take a pee. really bizarre.

Really? I found it great...sort of.

I played it on my PC (didn't like it on the PC) and I was hooked. I've come to conclude that your surroundings can actually enhance or dehance your game. (yes I made a word) I was playing it in a dark room, and I immersed myself into the game and setting. Although I didn't finish it, (it was a pirated copy & messed up often) I would still definitely buy a PS version. I'm looking forward to Heavy Rain.
