You may interject any console-war you have in your head. I didn't start a consolewar at all. Am i at any point negative of the other console? No. I simply just gave my own preferance and why i prefer the xbox 360.

But you are right about picking a console for its games. The only thing is, there aren't much exclusives on both sides. The most of the games are released for both anyway. Having said that, it then comes to comfort. Which controller, functions, interface etc, the user prefers.

I have a couple of friends who have both consoles and they all prefer the xbox360 in general, but love the Sony exclusives just as i do.

I disagree. There are enough exclusives to make a difference in choosing consoles.

GOD OF WAR
GRAN TURISMO
KILLZONE
HEAVY RAIN
LITTLE BIG PLANET
METAL GEAR SOLID
RESISTANCE
SINGSTAR
SOCOM
UNCHARTED
YAKUZA

are all major franchises for the PS3. Like it or not if you want to play any of those games, your console choice is locked.

Not to mention the PS3 rocks and it includes a 3D BD player too!

Some prefer the xbox, others prefer the ps3. I prefer the xbox because of their online stability, cross-chat availability, super sweet controller and the easy interface.

I wouldn't even bother which sized a steelbook would be. I dont put my game-steelbooks with my blu-ray steelbooks anyways.

Well, I didn't necessarily choose the PS3 because of the size of their SteelBooks, but I did choose a PS3 because it is a blu-ray player. I guess in a way, I DID choose a console based on the size of their SteelBooks. I went with a PS3 vs. a stand alone player as my first blu-ray machine because I figured I'd pick up a few games here and there to play. I have nothing against the XBox, I just don't plan on ever getting one because I don't care to have two consoles.

Any other 360 collectors?

I personally don't mind the size, but I definitely get a G2 just because the PS3 is region-free. I guess it doesn't matter if though if you don't have a PS3 in the first place.

360 is my console of choice for games that are released on 360 and PS3. My collection consists mostly of 360 and PC Steelbooks. I have a few G2 size Steelbooks (Killzone 2, Killzone 3, Need for Speed: Undercover) but they're located on a different shelf.

Well, it's kind of weird that hiked the price up, but it was pretty damn cheap before, and they're just trying to make a profit.

rashroxx · 05-10-2011, 12:04 PM

Tell me about it.
I have a choice between this and GT5 signature edition (sealed) at around the same price :|

These 2 arrived yesterday. End War looks much better in person. Easily one of my favorites.
