This set in motion a 4 year cycle of dvelopers cloning the game, so surely that states something?

Seems like Microsoft have succeeded in making the most co-ordinated on-line service for a console ever...

I am glad that I am becoming more and more neutral as this console war progresses. I honestly can't see the PS3 selling to the average gamer till late 2007 early 2008. P.S. Catalogues in the UK are selling the PS3 with one game for 600 pounds, rip-offs anyone?

WTF? That is bs untill the lower the price im gonna avoid the PS3 like the plague...and i'm the biggest Sony Fan-Boy ever. I even splashed out on the PS2 when it was 300 pounds and the games were 50 pounds for it but this is going to far.
