PS3 surpasses Xbox 360 Worldwide!

I suck regardless, so I suppose that makes sense.

Well, just me, personally, and I play hundreds of hours of shooters every year on console and PC, I do actually prefer the symmetry. I'm aiming and moving at the same time and I like them being operated in almost the same way. I think it helps me get better synergy for the games where strafing is more important, arena shooters like Unreal or movement-heavy ones like Killzone. But in the twitch shooters like Call of Duty, you need to constantly be doing both at the same time, and it just feels natural for me.

Katamari takes it further - I need those things horizontally aligned!

You could always buy a pro modular gamepad where you can freely move sticks, dpads and face buttons around to whatever you prefer.

Edit, I was wrong. The one I was thinking about doesn't let you move the face buttons around.

I'm sure there exist others that do let you do that, though.

Damn mirage, that's pretty tight! It'd be cool to have differen companies making things like that more refined and affordable for the next generation.

>>> Blu-ray won.. kind of expected that..

I remember the whole thing with HD-DVD, when the Walmart near my house had about 10 HD DVDs on sale, and the HD-DVD add-on for 360. I'm surprised it didn't catch on. Blu-ray is cool, but it took developers a long time to even begin to come to grips with the disc speed.

You know the whole PS3 surpasses 360 in sales....

Maybe it has but it still isn't going to put it ahead on profits when you take in the £272m fine for the ps3 hack.

As of today, you can now access the PS store on PC!!!!

Introducing the New Sony Entertainment Network Online Store – PlayStation Blog

[Mirage]

No, you can't. You can access it on Windows.

The web page actively blocks non-windows users, even if the site works on Firefox in Windows, it will not work on Firefox in a non-windows OS. That's a pretty terrible choice to make.

Unless you make your Firefox lie and tell the website it is running on Windows, then it works perfectly, but this should never be necessary.

I honestly don't care if it's Sony, Nintendo, Xbox, Atari, or Sega. If it makes games I want to play and is backwards compatible, I will buy it. It just so happens that Xbox met my needs in terms of games I wanted, is backwards compatible with my former Xbox games that I still occasionally play and for my Sony needs I still have my PS2. No games exclusive to PS3 aside from Uncharted series are games I want. I use my friend's PS3 consoles to play Uncharted or other exclusive PS3 games. The only let down is that many of my friends now play online games for PS3 so I have to go over my boyfriend's house just to play online with them. I still enjoy Xbox Live a lot more though.

Also I don't have blu-rays...just DVD movies...

^ I, for one, would care if it was Sega, because that would be awesome.

[Mirage]

Totally wouldn't happen though .

That's part of the allure, yes
