Nah. Just a pair of Macs that run Windows Vista.

As long as WoW runs, amirite?

Then you've never done it right or w/ enough desperation.

I'm fairly certain waving the controller around lessens the effectiveness of the mashing, so he is in fact doing it right.

You've never done it right either.

When I was scrolling down I thought that was a chicken at first.

PC is a separate beast.

It wasn't my intention to strike up an old console vs. console discussion. So fuck that. I was just saying that the PS3 has very little exclusives worthwhile to pry me away from my already-warm 360. Games like Arkum Asylum are better on the PS3, yet a few Joker levels aren't enough for me to drop 400 dollars on a system that already has 99% of the games I want to play for the PS3. And with a better online service there's even less reason since most developers are focusing on co-op and multiplayer in many games, too (Splinter Cell: Conviction is a huge co-op game I'm already looking forward to this year).

I play games on PC, too. Namely Valve games, Red Alert 3, and Borderlands. I'm planning on getting together a killer rig later this year.

The ps3 has great exclusives, yes, but not enough to immediately win over your average joe, especially when your average joe is really into playing Modern Warfare 2 with his friends who all have 360s.

Whatever. I was just saying I don't see anything compulsively making me want a PS3 when I was already a 360 owner. The year head start really did Microsoft some favors.

You're absolutely right. Exclusives aren't a factor as much anymore when 3rd parties are bringing it to the table. Which is why I mentioned 360's headstart being the kicker here. If I hadn't already bought a 360 I probably would have picked up a PS3 (well the price was fucking shit but still) and been playing shit on that instead. But because Microsoft had the year head start AND killer online Sony needed to bring something to the table to really make me want it over my 360.

The best attempts they've done are the blu-ray player, Uncharted 1 & 2, Little Big Planet, and MGS4. These may be all great games, but not enough to make me switch. Especially if I didn't have disposable income burning a hole in my pocket.

If that's how you're mashing then you're totally doing it wrong.
