Well, the vast majority of games are published for both the Xbox 360 and
the PS3, so there isn't much difference in that section. (There was a rather
big selection of exclusive games for the PS2, but since the PS3 is not
backwards compatible, it's inconsequential.) The Xbox 360 is 100 euros
cheaper than the PS3, which is a significant amount.

Unfortunately, it's the really *cool* (or at least very hyped) games that
only come out on one console. The games that aren't "gotta have it" are the
ones that come out on multiple platforms. My brother has several games on
his PS3 that I would love to play.
(Altho now that I have a nice HD screen, maybe it's worth getting a PS3
also, given that it's also a blu-ray player. But I'm not sure how long
that'll last, given the move towards downloadable movies.)

No. Its not in the betrayal quests. There are two parallel quest series
for Ghoulbane, specifically the quest named Gogas Afadin. Basically, in
the evil quest line you get sent to Havras "Hack" Scutter, to continue
the quest line, who then sends you on to do something else. But, if you
are good, Havras **will not** show as a responder to this quest (worse,
having finished the good version doesn't prevent you getting the evil
one either). However, some muck up in the internals of Havras' script
prevents him from responding to "any other" quests, while you have
Gogas' quest to talk to him in your quest list.

Well, when the PC version won't even run, this is hardly much of a

It's rather irritating that if you wanted to play all the best games in
existence, you would need to buy 4 consoles (PS2, PS3, XBox 360 and Wii) and
two hand-helds (PSP, DS), each one in the price-range of at least 200-300
euros. That would be about 1500 euros. (And this assuming you already own
a PC capable of running modern games.) Plus the games, of course.

Or borrow. Or rent. I bet there's a business opportunity there, or at least
some neighborly lawn partying.

I saw on the news that there's this highstreet shop where, for a small
fee, they will sell your stuff on ebay for you and give you the money.
(After taking a small cut, of course.)
I mean like, seriously, you can apparently make money for *any* possible
service! No matter how pointless...

Yeah, I was looking into that here. If you're just trying to get rid of junk
instead of making money on it, and you don't already do ebay anyway, it's
probably a good deal. It's that or give the stuff to charity and have them
do the same with it.

pfff... that's nothing. A PS3 here is about 1300 reais. :)
Wii is "just" 900 reais with games in the 250 reais range. :P

I grabbed the B/C 60Gb while it was still around, the price difference was
offset by the fact that I would be able to play my old PS2 games; that and
my PS2 was failing anyway.
Shame though that some games just refuse to play properly compared to the
Japan/USA full B/C models, but most work fine.
If I hadn't already been down the PS route I may well have picked up an
Xbox. Though looking back at the RROD that the early models were beset by
I'm kind of glad I didn't; that and the whole paid membership thing. I
mean, seriously, what with multiplayer taking up such a huge swath of a
lot of games charging for the privilege of using it. If you buy a game a
month that's a £3 surcharge on top to play it online.
