Telling me. Just come off a forum and they're at each others throats like 
never before. Over X360 and PS3. It's all f'ing stupid, they should realise 
that PS2 and X360 will bring the best out in each other anyway. I know I'm 
always banging on about it, but competition is healthy and makes for better 
and cheaper games. It's when they're running close on market share that they 
start to let the games be the tit-for-tat game of one-upmanship....not the 
system spec war we have now, and when they're constantly trying to outdo one 
another on exclusives, that we get the better games - and that's good for 
whichever one you own. Brand lovers are fools.
