a new gamestop shop has opened at park square 1. i'm not sure when but i think they're kinda new, there isn't even much on display yet. but as far as i was concerned, they had all that they needed to display: a brand new playstation 3 with a 60gig hard drive for only Php25,000! i want one! i found myself staring at the display box for about 5 minutes and i haven't even noticed. sheesh! the xbox 360 looks cool too but i'm still more inclined to getting the ps3. if only they would break the ps3 a bit faster..

yup, it's finally gotten to me, the time to make a crucial choice: should i get a playstation 3 or an xbox 360? and believe me, this is one TOUGH decision!
first of all, i am a sony fan. i owned an original playstation, i own a playstation 2 and a playstation portable and i must sa
y that the sony system does have a well rounded list of games ranging from rpgs to adventure games to puzzlers. sony does have something for every kind of gamer there is. for someone like me, the next step would be obvious,get a playstation 3! it's not that simple though. the playstation 3 does have a rather steep price as compared to (here it comes!) the xbox 360 from microsoft. i would normally not even think of shelling out money for an xbox 360 over a ps3 but the 360 is much cheaper.
i don't have an issue with power, both machines have displayed jaw-dropping graphics and sounds with their current roster of games. what?! did i just hear roster of games? this is where it all boils down to, what games does each system have to offer the millions of eyeball hungry gamers out there? here is what i found out.
the ps3 (which i would really like to get) does not have a killer app. none. zilch. nada. at least not at the moment. the xbox 360
does have a killer app in the form of halo 3 which really made gaming history according to numerous review sites. my problem is, i don't particularly like first person shooters (which the halo series actually is). first person shooters make me dizzy for the lenght of time that i play them until about an hour after. on the xbox it has always been halo this and halo that. i'm more of an rpg, adventure, survival horror, and action gamer. i also noticed that a lot of the xbox 360's line up consists of games that you would find on the pc platform like elder scrolls, command and conquer, not to mention a horde of, you guessed it - first person shooters! based on these, the xbox does not sound that appealing to me.
the ps3 however, promises a lot of upcoming games along the genres that i like. titles like devil may cry 4, silent hill 5 and final fantasy XIII are really going to make this a clear choice for me. however, these titles have not been released yet. and my biggest questions cometh: is it possible to modify the ps3? are there modified ps3 blu-ray games that are out? if the answer is "no" on both questions, the ps3 would be useless to me. what a bummer! this would be enough to drive me to buy an xbox 360 instead. but what if, after i buy an xbox 360, a modded ps3 shows up with matching blu-ray games to go with it? that would be really, really painful.. choices, choices, choices..
