I'm a PC man, but I dabble in my wife's DS and my brother's PS3 (Battlefront II rules).

I like my computer for most games. But I've been a console man since the Atari 2600 days (not the beginning of them unfortunately, the point after I developed the necessary motor skills to use a controller but before the NES came out). I still love my NES, SNES and Sega Genesis.

We have a Gamecube which I really like, though it's annoyingly difficult to find anything for it anymore. Xbox (not 360) and PS2 games and accessories abound, both new and used. Gamecube you can only find a handful of titles used at places like EB Games and GameStop and for the most part they're only a little below the original shelf prices and often without original packaging or manuals.

I like gaming on my PC. I finally was able to go and buy Fallout 3 (my laptop I had while deployed won't run it) and just "beat" the game. The ending sucked. I'd like to say why the ending sucked but I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone who may want to play this game and hasn't yet.

I like my XBox 360 action games like FPS. I like my PC for RTS. Both have the good and bad points. But having both gives me my feredom for gaming. Of course not much beats face to face gaming (RPGs, Blood Bowl, other board games).

1st and 2nd edition all the way. 3rd edition is not even good enough to wipe my ass with.

I was going to buy a PS3, but all the new ones are no longer backwards compatible. Meaning they wont play PS1 or PS2 games. Which was the selling point for me to buy a PS2 when they came out, so I could still play my old games without running two game systems...

Repeated from your other board.

I have an XBox 360 and I love it. I think it is the better gaming system, not for the hardware, but for the games. I don't have a large library of games but here is my current list that I can remember.

Sonic
Lego Star Wars
Lego Batman
Project Gotham Racing 4
Bad Company
Mass Effect
Grand Theft Auto 4 (with the exclusive Lost and Damned episode only available on XBox)
RockBand 2
Guitar Hero: World Tour (yes I have both music games. More songs that way.)
Rayman's Raving Rabbits
Bully
The Orange Box

I think that is all of my games. I have played GTA and Mass Effect for hours on end and beat them multiple times. And the online experience on XBox towers over the Playstation PSN sorry excuse for an online/multiplayer experience.

And the best reason for my XBox over Playstation, my Netflix download on demand ability. I jump on to Netflix site, choose a download on demand movie like Scanner Darkly, and 60 seconds later it is queued up to my XBox and I am watching my movie. The only way to do that on a Playstation is to use the in system browser and go through some ad laden proxy sites and download some software hacks to your system.

Oh and my Xbox also hooks into my Windows Media Player on my wireless network. It allows me to stream AVI movies and all my MP3's from my Windows PC to my 61" HDTV through the XBox. Just another thing I would not be able to do with a PS3.

To get a PS3 I'd have to sell your first born to afford one. Those things ain't cheap.
