dranei said: i feel sorry for microsoft because the xbox 360 is clearly better the the PS3 and i think we can all agree that the 360 has the best games(halos, gears of war, orange box) out of all the consoles and has a great future line up as well (gears of war 2 (that game is gonna be orgasimic), halo wars)

Actually the Orange Box is also on the PS3. And how do you feel sorry for Microsoft? You were just praising it...
