Welcome to the first Hey Kid, Nice Blog!, and what a first topic! My PlayStation 3 killed my Xbox 360.

I was working on an in depth review of the PS 3 after a week of solid use, when I turned on my 360. It ran for about a minute, froze, then started flashing the Red Ring of Death. There is only one explanation, and that is that the PS 3, feeling a need to demonstrate it's dominance, vaporized the inner workings of my 360. While preparing to write a review about the PS 3, I found myself not missing the Xbox 360 at all. The fact that the PS 3 runs so silent is reason enough to spend more time with it. Resistance: Fall of Man, MotorStorm, and Ninja Gaiden: Sigma all demonstrate the power of the PS 3, and get me excited about when game designers start seriously utilizing it's potential. The Xbox 360 is great, don't get me wrong. I have spent countless hours with Gears of War, Crackdown, Halo, and The Clancy Games. As of right now, the online support for the PS 3 is no where near what Xbox Live is. However, there are some treats for people who play Resistance and MotorStorm on the PS Network, 40 person multiplayer is a killer example. Let's not forget that the more we become accustomed to Xbox, and Xbox Live, the more Sony will have the opportunity to surprise gamers with exciting new developments. Let's hope the PS 3 doesn't end up like the Dreamcast before then. As much as Coop wants me to test the "Towel Trick", I would rather send the 360 off to Microsoft as opposed to temporarily fixing it by smothering it to death (or life). So in the meantime I will continue to enjoy the new Alpha-Console; I'm scared of what it might do to me if I don't.
