Great bunch o' friendly FriendFeeders, thanks for showing the love. Just added you, and will be adding some of these folks as well (the few I am not following already, that is).

Bwana, was it you that I learned about the web site Audiko? I found that site to be extremely useful for finding/creating ringtones for use on an iPhone.

I guess I'm 'hardcore' or whatever, since I have all three of the listed systems. Plus a gaming PC, a PSP, a Nintendo DS, a Dreamcast, and even a Lynx.

Anyway, I've noticed that in the last two years, I initially played a lot of XB360 games... especially Rock Band. All the Guitar Hero accessories work on the XBox, which isn't true for the PS3 platform.

The Wii is usually used for social gaming, I do very little single-player gaming on my Wii. I haven't been suckered in to buying many specialized accessories for my Wii.

However, most recently, any game that has been released simultaneously for the XB360 and PS3, I've been getting on the PS3, for a few reasons: I like the controller more (especially now that there is a DualShock available) and more games are true 1080p, which is suddenly more important to me since I upgraded from a 720p rear-projection TV to a 1080p plasma recently. Also, the PS3 has recently seen a couple of fantastic exclusive releases like GTA3 and LittleBigPlanet that really push the hardware. Finally, a lot of new PS3 games use the hard drive to improve load times. This is a definite advantage of the PS3 platform.

I also use my XB360 to watch HD-DVD movies (I just bought an extra HD-DVD drive for $99 at Fry's just in case the first one fails) and the XB360 platform is fantastic for DivX streaming and Media Center stuff. The PS3 actually perfect for playing regular DVDs, since it does a smashing job upconverting when using a HDMI connection. I also enjoy Blu-Ray movies quite a bit.

The Wii is pretty neglected when it comes to non-gaming media.. it only supports JPGs on SD card media, and they turned off MP3 support in a recent update (BOO).

When it comes to web browsers, Flash and YouTube support, the PS3 is fine and the Wii is actually surprisingly adequate. To be honest I haven't really missed not having a browser on the XB360, I guess since I have a laptop and my TiVo now has YouTube support as well.

The Song of Storms to me was one of the most melancholic in Ocarina of Time.
