My only complaints?

Matchmaking is shitty in Gears 2 and MSP is so retarded I can't even fucking see straight.

I'm trying to catch up on all of the stuff I wanted to play before and now I can.
I've got Mass Effect and Castle Crashers in there, and a copy of Halo 3 on the way.

Do I see myself playing my 360 more?

...probably. My backlog for games on the 360 is bigger than my list for PS3, especially considering I only need to finish Ratchet and Clank and buy RaC: Q4B, plus Uncharted and Resistance 2 gotta fit in there somewhere. Plus I know more people online. I've always got a partner for Gears whenever I play, whether it's for co-op or multiplayer (minus the botched matchmaking). Earl makes a fine co-op partner.

Is the list of games getting better for 360? Sure, although I need to really think about console exclusives when I talk like that. The PS3 made me look at interesting titles like Fat Princess, Flower, and MAG, which haven't seen anything about since E3, and still have TBA 2009 dates.

My Wii slowly collects dust. I still haven't finished Okami either. Let's hope The Conduit and MadWorld wow me. Or I have enough money at the time they come out. Whichever comes first.

No love for Fallout 3?

I found a robot who thinks he was a founding father, he had the wig and all. He was guarding the declaration of independence. So I convinced him that I was Thomas Jefferson, and he gave it to me!

:lol:

Is Fallout 3 really that good? If I didn't like Oblivion would I also not like F3?

I really didnt have any love for Morrowind or Oblivian, fantasy wasnt my cup of tea. I really like Fallout 3 however. Theres so much to see and do and so many places to explore.

I think you should give it a rent if possible, to see if you will like it.

And here I am having overheating problems.. :( Got 2 red lights today, which is apparently an indication that the console's overheating. And the fan's been a lot louder in the past few days.. Damn, I don't know what to do..

I've been regretting not buying a PS3 ever since my cousin bought one..

In addition, I've been having some issues recently with my controller randomly deciding to disconnect. Batteries seem to be fine so I don't know what the problem was. That and Gears decided to lock up on me out of nowhere.

Speaking of controller problems, I have a Wiimote that sometimes goes into turbo mode. :unsure: I'm trying to charge a smash in SSBB, but can't, because somehow the buttons... well, turbo mode is the best way to explain it. Only happens in SSBB, only with 1 Wiimote.

So... back to your new 360. Oh and Bube's/Nighthawks one of course.

Umm, I think I know what you're talking about. If you hold A, your attack with some characters are infinite... Pikachu and Kirby are excellent examples. Also, lets say with Snake, if you hold A, you keep punching but you're 3 hit combo doesnt come up unless it connects first.

Or, I could have misundertood your statement and it could be your controller lol.

I know about holding the A button to keep hitting. That's not what I mean.

This concerns all buttons. Let's say I play as Ike and I'm charging my side-B attack. I can't. Because the B will somehow be released early. And pressed again. And released. All within seconds.
Or my shield. I'll go in and out of shield when I really keep pressing the button. Very annoying.
It works out of combat too, like in menus with the d-pad, or selecting a character with the A button.

Only happens with 1 controller, only sometimes. When I google the internet, I only get answers like yours... seems my problem is unique. :(
I'll contact Nintendo if it stays this way. I'll keep an eye on it. I thought it might be the batteries.
