Got so pissed when I screwed up one of the subplots that I started over again after 22 hours into it, lol.

You'll love AC. If you get frustrated in the beginning of the game because the controls are a bit funky just bear down and get through it. It's definitely rewarding in the end.

Usually I don't really care about gamerpoints but I'm thinking about firing it up before sending it back to Gamefly. I finished the game with 825 gamer points out of 1000. It would be kind of cool to have the full 1000 but I don't want to look for all those damn flags. The world is so freaking huge that it would take too damn long but I'm so friggen close!

AC is a fantastic game. Getting all the flags and killing all the random Templar is something I will never do though. Would take forever, so amny of them hidden in random spots.

Btw, my PS3 is still running strong :).

Come on buddy. If you're going to hype the 360, at least do it with a game that's exclusive to that console.

Seriously...I wouldn't use the words exclusive and ps3 ever in the same sentence...Or even thread for that matter.

If you are forced to keep it sideways in a cabinet, I've read people have had very good luck using an antec usb powered laptop cooler underneath it.

I've also read several places that the custom XBOX 360 attached coolers are a big no no as they actually make things worse and void

oh buddy....you didn't did you. I'll stop at just the big 3 so far. I won't even get into what is coming out in the future. ;)

There, now that's more like it.:) I was just being an ass cuz you argued that the 360 is better because of games that are on both consoles.

Honestly, yes there are some great games for the 360. For me though, I'd rather have a machine that can do a lot more than just games and sacrifice a lot of games now, for a lot of games in the near future and a machine that doesn't break down because of bad design. But that's just me. Then again, I also have a bit of hatred for Microsoft. So yes, I am biased.

By the way, what game is the picture in the middle from?

No worries. I won't lie. I want a PS3 but not now. My buddy has one and it is one sexy ass console. The craftmanship is top notch.

The pic in the middle is of Bioshock. It was a surprise hit on the 360. Basically it's a shooter set in an underwater city that went to **** when the people living in the city started chemically altering themselves. You play a guy whose plane crashed into the ocean and as a result ended up in this city. It's a creepy and it's a friggen great game. It's been nominated for many game of the year awards and such. I guess you can say it's 2007's "Gears of War" in that it upstaged Halo 3 much like Gears did.
