Thinking of trading XBox 360 for PS3

[htismaqe]

Pretty fed up with the whole XBox Live "Gold" idea. Can't watch Netflix without Gold. Can't watch ESPN without Gold. Can't finish achievements on most games without Gold (because the achievements relate to online play somehow).

And now I bought an old coop game (Sacred 2) to play with my daughter and it's all ****ed up because Microsoft wants her to pay for a Gold account TOO.

With the next gen consoles probably 18 months out, is it worth it to make the switch? How does PSN (the free version, not PSN+) compare to XBox Live? If I like to play Live Arcade games, will I regret changing?

Try to keep the fanboi stuff to a minimum, I would like some sincere responses.

I finally made it to the next save point. It only took me another hour after I posted that.

I've got about 11 hours into this game, 3-4 of which I've been trying to get past these 2 small sections each about 5 minutes long.

I'm now stuck at the 2nd to last area and can't make it past because my reflexes just aren't good enough.

Just the thought of imagining you getting super pissed to the point of sadness at that is gold!

You ****ing suck.

I wish I could punch you repeatedly like I punched my ****ing couch last night.

Um, no.

I don't have a PC in my living room, hooked up to the big screen.

I've broken my right hand twice (in incidents unrelated to punching stuff out of frustration).

I broke it a 3rd time playing NCAA football - I forgot I was sitting on the left side of the couch so when I reached out to punch the arm rest on the end, I punched the WOODEN CONSOLE in the middle of the couch.

OUCH! LOL

I've finished GoW 1, 2, Chains of Olympus, and Ghost of Sparta. I'm deep into GoW 3 now and have to think I'm nearing completion (all weapons upgraded to max, have maxed out gorgon eyes, phoenix feathers, and minotaur horns).

The ONLY think keeping me from saying "some of the best games I have ever played" is the length. They're too short for me.

Pretty much all games are too short these days.

I put nearly 200 hours (maybe more) into Kingdoms of Amalur. People have had similar experiences with Borderlands and Elder Scrolls.

By the way, these games were BRUTAL. The violence, especially in GoW 3, was flat over-the-top.

Yeah, but those are RPGs correct? Personally, I just plain cannot get into RPGs.
