Even though it looks retarded, I think the PS3 is a better system... for now. The lag on the Kinect "controller" is still too high for my tastes and I'm a firm believer you really do need buttons.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Yeah, I have never owned or never had any intention of owning an XBOX but the technology seemed pretty cool.

Any and all "motion controller" gimmicks (yes that's what they are) are useless in my opinion. Why do all game companies think we want new ways to play games? Since when have thumbs become obsolete? Ignoring the idiocy of no tactile feedback, the whole point of me sitting down to play a video game is to relax and veg out. I don't want to jump around the room waving my arms like a spastic.

Even if I had an Xbox, I don't think I'd pick this up. Wii with better graphics? Meh.

I like my Xbox better than my PS3, and I don't have any plans to pick up the Kinect.
