I grew up in the middle of nowhere, so there wasn't anything that cool to be found. I did play some of those games fairly recently on the 360. It's always interesting to play something again after a few decades.

Keep in mind that the higher ups at Microsoft have stated several times that there will likely be a bluray addon to the xbox at a future point.

Oh and I loved the games channel adapter for the Sega...

Oh, and if you have a 360, add me, I'm "Gremelin"... Just lemme know who you are on here lol

Don't remember the sega adapter. I bought a sega for my daughter.
Played sonic and earthworm jim to death.

Sega Channel was just awesomeness lol

well, as I have said, I am only interested in the game aspect. I have a media streamer, (2 actually), a bluray player, I have 2 netflix devices

Sounds like the exact same feature I had with the Mattel.
As I recall it was time warner then became vision cable or vice versa.

Well, Just like we have stated here.
If you are only interested in gaming then. It would be a personal decision on what gaming platform to use.
I prefer WII. But I also use the ps3 for everything else.
Others here have a preference for the xbox.

Tough call!
I guess it depends on what games press your button at the time.

I find the controller on the xbox far more comfortable, in both short and long gaming sessions. The playstation controller feels like it'll fall apart in your hands.

the xbox has removable battery packs, you can buy rechargeable battery packs and have separate batteries charged. The PS3 has a built in battery that will die and you have to charge (or have plugged into a usb port) to play using the same controller.

Both have exclusive games, and both share some of the greatest titles out there right now. Both prices are about the same for games.

Accessories are where things shine... The XBox will have Project Natal released this winter, it's a motion sensitive bar which will allow you to literally be a part of games; it'll be a revolution in gaming. The PS3 will have some gay little wand that makes you look like harry potter and won't be able to compete with XBox's Natal.

The XBox has a webcam that you can use for live camera sessions (video conferencing basically), has "party mode" which allows you and friends to have up to a 16 person conversation outside of a game (which the ps3 doesn't).

Okay I give you are a xbox fan.
For gaming it is Wii for me.
Also as far as charging I use induction pads for the ps3 and the WII. Just lay them on the pad and they charge.
