Never could follow that logic. "The PS3 won't play PS2 games, so I bought a 360." Riiiight... because the 360 is so good at playing PS2 games...

I've got a launch 60Gb with all the bells and whistles, but I traded in my PS2 and all the games a week later... as good as they were, I just couldn't go back to them. I played exactly one PS2 game on my PS3, and that was Tomb Raider Anniversary. If I was that interested in playing my old games, I'd have kept the PS2, or bought another one... it's not like it's an expensive system now.

I don't understand this "360 has the bigger library" argument either. Yes, it has games from before the PS3 was launched, but from that point on, the libraries are basically the same. All major 3rd-party titles get released on both platforms, unless MS buy exclusivity.

I've nothing against the 360 as a system (I play on a friend's occasionally), but it holds no real attraction for me with regard to owning one. It has maybe 2 exclusive titles that I'd be interested in playing, and it's not worth the purchase just for those. For me, the PS3 exclusives pee all over the 360s from a very great height.

Fanboy? No. I don't prefer the PS3 because I have one, I have one because I prefer the games it offers. And the games are what it's all about.
