Yeah, the original was pretty easy. I think it took me longer to find all the Templars than to do the actual missions.

Ok, I am a serious game geek and have had both systems. After my 4th XBox 360 died (this is including one of the newer ones with the upgraded chipset - yes, it was well ventilated), I replaced it with a PS3 and couldn't be happier. The PS3 is just a better built piece of hardware. Here are some key points:

1. Reliability - I have several personal friends with XBox 360s. Every single one of them has had to replace their console at least once. I only know of one person that only had to do so one time. Everyone else is on their 3rd+ console.

2. Online play - Honestly, other than a slight user-interface change, online play for the 360 vs. PS3 is very similar. The biggest differences are you don't get some goofy avatar you can play dress-up with on the PS3, and the PS3 doesn't cost you $50 a year to play online.

3. Blu-Ray. I'm not into it, but lots of people are. It's built into the PS3 (but everyone already knows that).

4. Backward compatibility. The 360 claims to play XBox games, but it wouldn't play more than a few of my old games. I haven't looked into it very closely, but I do believe the PS3 will play any PS1 and PS2 game. There are no limitations.

I should have made the PS3 switch a long time ago.

PS3 hands down. Yonger kids will appreciate the Xbox more than the PS3 I think since its a little more kid friendly. My brother has my old Xbox and he has had it replaced once and its just started overheating again. I've had my PS3 for about two years or so and have had zero problems. Yeah the internet gameplay isn't the best but for being free, its pretty good IMHO.

When I had my PS2/1 games, all of them worked. However they were mostly racing games.

And if I remember, you can actually just download the PSone classics from the network.(like original Tekken, etc) However I think you do have to buy them.

The thing is...when the new Move controllers come out, it may just signal the end for the other two systems. Seriously, if you could have all of the benefits of the Wii AND awesome graphics and sound...Well, why bother with the Wii? Besides, I have all three, the 360 is collecting dust, the Wii gets used once in a while and the PS3 gets used almost everyday.

My order. PC - 360 - PS3
