Looking at upgrading to a PS3 or Xbox360

Oh, and the search is over. I scored a 250GB Xbox360 pack with a few free games, then trading those games back to the store which brings the price down even further.

 

That's cool, so you can get yourself a Kinect and play the new Steel Battalion some day

 

Actually I'm getting the Kinect, a kinect game, and Gears of War 3 with it, but they're what I'm trading in, to get the system even cheaper. I'm really only buying the system for modern fighting games.

That sounds like quite a limited use

(It seems to basically come down to SFIV, MvC3, Blazblue, Tekken 6 and possibly the 2 upcoming SFxT and TxSF, no?)

That's the plan, but I'm sure there'll be something else to tickle my fancy further on down the line, I do plan on getting the Mass Effect games eventually, but motion control or 1st person shooters just don't do it for me.

I'd recommend the 360 over the PS3 if only for the fact you don't have to update the 360 or scroll through 2 minutes of agreements every other month, and when you do have to upgrade it only takes a few seconds as opposed to several minutes. Nothing like firing up the ol console to play some games or watch a movie and realize you have to jump through hoops just to get going at it.

 

For Moycon.....

Maybe someday Sony will get it right.
