The inspiration's dying

Oh no. What's going on?

I missed a day. NO WAY. I didn't post yesterday!! How could I forget!?

That's a little less money towards the Les Paul. A little less money to my current life goal. A little less money, a little less money.

Oh, how could I forget?

Well, there's no point brooding about it now. I'll just make two posts today. Or maybe tomorrow, if I don't remember for today. Nah, I'll do them today. So, what d'you guys want to talk about? Oh, I know. The console battle.

Right, most of you gamers will know what I mean by the console battle, but for those of you who are sat at home thinking "What the hell is a console battle?", it's pretty much the ongoing battle between Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii fans. Again, you might think "I've never seen people argue over something so pathetic" and you'd probably be right. But it's incredibly hard to stop yourself from defending your corner of the ring when someone preaches about their console.

I'm in the Xbox 360 corner, Microsoft for the win, etc etc. I'm not actually that patriotic about it all, but all the same I don't like it when people go "The PS3 owns. 360s are for dicks" and so on and so forth, it's ridiculous. I never actually start these arguments but I always have to defend the 360 because it deserves to be defended.

The PS3 has better graphics? Of course it bloody well does. It had a whole year to improve on the Xbox 360, which was released mid-November 2005. Sony released their counter in mid-November 2006, with not actually what you'd call a year's progress. Big whoop, so they added Blu-Ray and a better graphics engine - huzzah. Who really cares? The graphics aren't exactly Pacman and Final Fantasy either, the difference isn't all that noticeable, at least not to me. And as for Blu-ray, any 360 owner who wishes to watch a Blu-ray disc can simply go and get a Blu-ray extension and link it up - good as gold.

On the other hand, I have to admit that free Xbox live would be quite nice. And surfing the internet would also be a good little addition to the Dashboard. So Sony actually did do quite well in improving a few things, but not the really important stuff.

You think different? Post your arguments if you want. But for now, Harry out.
