i am thinking of going the console route,
pc is to expensive to maintain, and i already have a laptop, and this never ending securom [particularly on red alert 3] has pushed me away
so yeah, i may be after one of these, in the sales
i like all the ps3 has to offer, but its expensive,
but the main killer is the controllers! i used to love the xbox but hated the ps2 cause of the controllers, the xbox was smooth and fitted the hands, the playstation has those impossible [for me] to reach analogue sticks, thus i have never owned a playstaion
is there a way round this or is the xbox just a better bet? [despite no blue ray, media center capabilities]

if you get an xbox try and get one of the new 65nm jasper chip ones as these have new parts and shold run cooler so avoiding the rrod.

i had a look at that before, but didnt want to thread hijack
looking at it think its gonna have to be xbox cause the ps3 seems to have identical controllers to ps2

The xbox 360 controller is much bigger and heavier but it is more popular it seems.
I have to say though that due to it's size, the 360 didn't get purchased for my 6yr old for Chrimbo but instead we got her a playstation2.

I believe the 360 controller can be plugged in to a PC and used as for games. I plugged mine in to my vista laptop and it just searched for then installed the drivers, i didn't have any appropriate games installed but i assume it should work. I also switched from PC to consoles because of the constant need to upgrade, but the console market seems to be the same every 3-5 years you have to buy a new one. If they keep working that long.

i use my 360 pad on pc, and i used to own a 360 and unless the new ones are any better, i wouldnt get any. pc games are better for the support,updates,mods etc - dam i hate that ps3 pad too!
i would go:
1) PC
2) 360
3) Mega Drive
4) PS3
its really not for me the playstation 3
