PS3

After a few months trying to decide whether I can be bothered to get a Next Gen console, I finally decided to take the plunge and bought myself a nice shiny new PlayStation 3 yesterday. It was one of those 'game pack' deals which included the console, controller and two games - Ridge Racer 7 and Resistance Fall of Man.

I also bought an HDMI cable with it so that I can connect it to our 40" HD flatscreen television for proper high-definition gameplay.....

My first reaction after playing Resistance was "WOW!!!", and to say I was impressed with the gameplay (and graphics) would be a major understatement.

It was a tough choice between getting an XBox 360 or a PS3, but if I were to get an Xbox (which has been out now for around 3 years), it would be like buying a new computer that was 3 years old - not someting I'd want to do. Other factors include the reliability of PlayStation consoles - I've heard so much about the imfamous 'Ring of Death' on the Xbox, whereas in all the years I have owned a Playstation console (I have an original Playstation, Playstation 2 and PSP), I have never had anything go wrong with any of them......... Touch wood!

I just can't wait for Grand Theft Auto 4 next month, and Resident Evil 5 (whenever it comes out!!!)
