PS3 + a PC, what does that leave for the 360?

I almost feel it's a guilty pleasure to enjoy 'The Insiders' and 'SentUAMessage'; look forward to the eejits each week

That's actually top of my list of games to get so that would be epic. Obviously i'll lend you Infamous in return

Oh for christs sake, my right analogue stick has started squeaking REALLY LOUDLY. Back to Game i go...

And it's a new console? Or did you get it second hand?
If so, definitely shouldn't.
Same for yours Dunketh, not the left-trigger anyway... I've killed my right one with all my racing games .

As for the comments on The Insiders and SentUAMessage, if anyone is on Twitter they are @MrPointyHead, @AceyBongos and @SuperKaylo and they're great fun. If you want people on the US side of things, @MajorNelson, @Trixie360 and @KPaul.

It's my spare wired pad that I've used on my PC for many years now so it's no problem, the wireless one I got with the 360 is perfectamundo!

Tis brand new, some people have told me this is just 'breaking it in' and it will stop however. Not sure what to do tbh, gonna be difficult getting a replacement from Game as it does function perfectly, it just squeaks :/

Lost Odyssey is amazing, so glad they kept the Japanese voices on the disk, hopefully all JRPGs will be like that in the future as VC did it too.

[NokkonWud]

The haven't with Tales of Vesperia... but, in an almost revolutionary addition to JRPG's in Europe, the voice acting is GOOD! .

I can't wiat to get back into Lost Odyssey. I got a few hours in before the whole rush of games last fall put it on the back burner. ToV has given me a taste for it all over again.

I'd kill for a new Xbox360 pad, whether it squeaked or not . Mine are both as old as my console, one of them has a slightly dodgy stick that can pick up movement when it's not actually being moved (annoying) and the other is separated around the frame from when I lost my rag playing UFC and threw my pad .

This is the heart of the argument and why I went ahead and bought a 360 Elite recently. It sits next to my PC and plugs into the same monitor and ethernet switch.

No lazy ports, no duff controls, no secuROM, no driver issues, no patches just to get past the menu screen, no games for windows live or 12 year olds kicking you from a server. OK, so you pay a slight premium on games compared to PC but I'd rather do that than suffer the above.

It's even grabbed the girlfriends attention thanks to Guitar Hero, Beautiful Katamari and the casual games on Live Arcade and there's talk of moving it into the lounge - over my dead body of course

And no keyboard and mouse, which is still the reason PC will always be my preferred platform for my preferred type of game (FPS). It just can't be beat.
