Sure the games look visually stunning because of the new "next-gen" graphics......but if the gameplay sucks....who cares what it looks like, its still crap thats no fun to play. Also i noticed that there is no mention of PC gaming at all, which will surpass all these "Next-Gen" consoles graphics capabilities in the end and can provide a much better gaming experience in my opinion.

Yeah, providing you're willing to spend £100's on a decent rig that can handle the game.

The true cost of a 360 or PS3 is hidden. The PS3 being the most expensive, mainly due to the high cost of blu-ray drives.

Sure, you get to buy one for less than what it cost them to design, make and market. But, you can be sure they fully intend to recover the extra money from console owners one way or another. Neither, Sony nor MS are in the habbit of giving stuff away.

Overpriced accessories is one way for them to recoup their losses.

Another way is that they charge 60 + dollars per game, ridiculous.
