Yeah, but then you know what you're getting so it won't be a disappointment if you get the wrong thing, lol. :smile:

good point. lol heres a funny story... when i was five or so... i really wanted this playmobile castle called the "swan castle" which was a huge castle that you build and you play around with or w/e. so i was excited on xmas cause i thought santa would bring me the castle only to find that he gave me some lego spaceship thing. inwhich i cried due to me not getting the swan castle... but i went ahead and built the spaceship thing and i was actually pretty cool. of course next year i got my swan castle. lol only to think how selfish i was when i wore short pants :)

I just read an article on Street Fighter IV and I want to kick this guy's @ss

Opinion : Why Street Fighter IV Could Fix Fighting Games

OMGZ, <insert game> is going to be awesome because they've dumbed it down to my level!

That being said, I don't want SF to get simplified to that level at all. People NEED to learn to do Hadokens. I didn't practice doing it for months just so someone can just press "forward + jab" and execute the move.

just tell him the honest truth, Online play for xbox blows online play for ps3 out of the water and that you would rather have it for xbox because more people play it online

*biased opinion*

exactly roger... by the way... why do we always call each other by our real names on this forum? lol just curious. anyways... if someone is trying to decide whether to get a ps3 or a 360 and they love to play online then the answer is always 360. apparently the ps3 has this this call like home playstation or something like that but i dont know if its made yet. after that happens... its "supposed" to keep up with live and eventually top live. ill believe that when my sh*t turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet. :)
