So, I was at the mall today. And after watching Saw 2 (Catch the review later this week), we went to EB Games. And there I saw it - in all its glory. The Xbox 360 console. And not just a showpiece - it was a playable console!!! Fully equipped with 2 controllers, a host of demo games and an LCD TV! The demos available were Kameo, Call of Duty 2, King Kong, etc. while videos for a whole bunch of other games such as NFS, PGR3, etc. were on show. We got to try out Kameo, CoD2, and King Kong. And I must say, the games looked amazing!! Stunning visuals which looked even better on the LCD TV. The controller was very comfortable to hold and the grip was excellent. Buttons felt good and on the whole, the controller was an improvement on the older Xbox controller (which I like too). The console itself is not too big and should look great with the colorful faceplates. I really wanted to try out NFS and PGR3 but they had only videos. Still, it was a good time and I can say that Microsoft have a good product up for launch. Sony might have to pay for letting MS release their next generation console first. Frankly speaking, Sony have been trying to extend the life of the PS2 when they should have had a new system out already.Can’t wait until November 22.

In my opinion, avid gamers will still wait for PS3 release since it will allow them to play older PS games too.
btw, Jeba is thinking of buying PS2.

It’s not confirmed whether or not the PS3 will be backwards compatible. After all, the PS3 is also a multi-core system which means games coded for single core processors will have a hard time running on it.
