Oh Brook, here’s that article i was telling you about ages ago on the podcast about those worldwide sales figures.
Quote:As of 30th June this year, the PlayStation 3 had shifted 38.1 million units worldwide, whereas Microsoft had moved 41.7 million Xbox 360s.PS3 has sold 38.1m units worldwide PlayStation 3 News – Page 1 | Eurogamer.net
so i think the PS3 could potentially overtake the 360 in sales terms within the next 2 years.

Nah not tried it out yet.
Ill probably start downloading it tonight but I presume the patch size is huge so it will take awhile.
Expect impressions on this weeks podcast.Twitter.com/scatigno1

So i downloaded the MAG 2.0 patch and played a quick game with the Move controls, and honestly it was meh.
I think it’s coz the Move controls take alot of getting used to so right from the jump you’re going to be at a major disadvantage against the people who are using the dualshock controller and have been playing this game a long time.
Brook, i think for $16, go for it, you may find something you like about this game, and if anything it will give you practice for using Move controls with Killzone 3.This game just isn’t for me, but by all means i’ll run some games with you if you do pick it up.
