Drafting the Forever War

It's time. After extensive time with both the Xbox 360 and the ps3, I will finally end the argument. System supremacy will be declared. There will be no further discussion of this topic.

Graphics, loading times, joystick sensitivity, high def specs... no. Done to death. It got us nowhere.

Thunderdome Living [[melee and lethality]] - Sony's ps3 is heavier, and has sharper edges. The black shell, though unfortunately glossed, is better for stalking prey than basic 360 white. Neither system has stock wired joysticks, so you can forget the morning star modes of fighting afforded by previous console generations. As ranged weapons, the 360 controllers hit a little harder. Advantage - ps3.

The Kessel Run [[smuggling your weed]] - With removable faceplates and optional casings, the 360 wins this category faster than you can say "twelve parsecs". Additionally, the 360 can be purchased in stoner friendly Halo green. Advantage - 360

Remember the Alamo [[coonskin cap replacement]] - Because of technology's exponential curve, each successive generation of consoles have made better hats than their predecessors. The ps3 and 360 are perhaps the finest example of this dynamic yet. Hollowed out and strapped as head wear, both systems provide a wide ceremonial outline and plenty of enigmatic lightwork. However, while the potentially dual colour rings of the 360 are swanky, the ps3's sleek imperial linework and formidible leading edge make it the beangear of choice for a hopeless last stand against Santa Anna and a horde of excited Mexicans. Advantage - ps3

Sexual Chocolate [[rocking the porn bot]] - While neither system has a hole big enough fit your junk in, the smooth rounded edges of the 360 make it the obvious choice for anything past second base. It also comes in a variety of sexy colours, and again, optional faceplates spell win in the secret language of Sorayama. Advantage - 360

It's a tie! We knew that. The correct answer is always "D) Stack both systems on top of your Coleco Adam and play all three."
