You've never even been online on a ps3 have you? I can do all the same stuff and it doesn't cost me $35 a year to do it. I hate to break it to you man but the 360 is old news, its been proven that the ps3 is a better more powerful system. There are only two decent titles that xbox has that ps3 doesn't, Gears of War and Forza, and as far as I'm concerned killzone 2 is better than gears of war and when Gran turismo 5 comes out I'm sure it will be just as good as Forza if not better. I have multiple friends that have both systems and every single one of them play the ps3 over the xbox, a few have actually sold their xbox's. I'm glad your stoked on your "new gen" x-box, it ony took Microsoft 5 years to get their shit together and fix their crap product...
