yet you can say that the roots of gaming are on consoles not PCs. sure arcades is were it all started but that is a "console". as ViperASR said to each his own.

That may be true, but I don't know anybody who bought a 360 to be the "core of their entertainment system."

I bought mine to play next-gen games, and it does. So I'm satisfied.

Actualy it has delivered exactly what it promised.

Next generation gaming, next gen movies, proper USB support, HDMI out the box and native internet browsing capabilities..

As I say, we have used the PS3 non-stop since we bought it - the XBox360 practicly never gets used.
