The 360 also has the best control pad ever made. PS2/3 analogue sticks are next to useless because of their position imo.

The 360 pad is not the best controller for gaming, the DPAD is pratically broke in my opinion.

To the poster, if I knew the 360 would have been as much hastle to swap back and forth I wouldn't have bought one. It's noisy, the disc drive keeps scratching my disks, it thinks Halo 3 is a DVD sometimes, it's freezing and the power supply is huge (although not a fault of the product).

Personally though, I know it's hard to resist. If you played the previous Halos you know what to expect with Halo 3 and Bioshock is a great FPS to go with it. If you like your shooters then buy it and just swap it back at the shop if you have problems.

If your not comfortable with the 360 breaking down then why haven't you considered purchasing a PS3. Ratchet, PES, Uncharted, GT5 prologue are due out with MGS4 early next year. Depends what your tastes are I guess

Hardly any games except Fighting games use D-Pads.

Many arcade games do and that's a big selling point for the 360.

For example Lumines is much easier to play on the PSP than it had been on my 360.

Maybe it's not a big issue for some people but for me personally it's flawed.

Not only is that fraud, you'd get a refurb. It'd also still be just as prone to red-ring as the GPU is the same.

If he has a coverplan with the store he wouldn't get a refurb.
