  Crossed over to Xbox

  So I recently purchased an Xbox. It's the first time I've ever made the jump to a Microsoft console since most of my console purchases go to Nintendo/Sony. I was a little skeptical at first but now I feel at home with the 360. I was planning on getting this console mainly for Dance Central but then I ended up playing all the exclusives that I missed out on in the past like Halo and Gears of War.
  
  The dashboard is really easy to navigate but I think it's ridiculous considering all the ads being plastered everywhere. I mean, you're paying for an online service and yet you're being bombarded with all that **** like Statefarm or Olay Revitalizing cream. Pretty annoying. I prefer the PlayStation 3's interface (XMB) since it's very simple without all the fuss.
  
  The controller, I'm not a fan of. Too big, I guess it's because most Western gamers have giant hands or something. I prefer the shape of the PS3 pad since I've been using that style for over 15 years.
  
  I really like the Kinect, I think it's an awesome peripheral especially for a game like Dance Central. That thing can really help you learn how to dance. It's one of the reasons why I actually considered getting an Xbox since I just love to dance (even if I end up looking completely doofy).
  
  The online functionality is far more superior than that found on the PS3. It's really the main draw of the Xbox in my opinion. The bummer is that you have to pay for the online service (if you ever want to play online or access some of the other online functionality) which is like $60 for a year of Live Gold but it's pretty much worth it since most of the servers for games are very stable when compared to the free online service of the PlayStation 3. Another nice thing exclusive to Xbox Live Gold is the ability to party chat. You can talk with friends regardless of what game you're playing and it makes the whole thing fun. Definitely my favorite thing about the service.
  
  To sum it all up, making the transition to Xbox was nice and easy. I wasn't so sure I'd end up as a fan but I am. I'm glad I'm part of another brand, I feel like I'm more versatile as a gamer and that it helps broaden my horizons.

  My name was posted in an article in the Wall Street Journal!

  I think it's pretty cool. Stu Woo called me on Skype and did a little interview on why I made the switch to EA games and stopped playing Zygna games.

  My Gaming Sale (Iloilo ONLY)

  Here's the list of things that I'm selling. I'm not hell bent on getting rid of it which is why it's non-negotiable (NO HAGGLING).

  It's all pretty cheap considering PS3 games in Iloilo range from 2000p-3000p+.

  All games are slighty used but little to no scratches and are pretty mint.

  Also note that some of these games are VERY rare and hard to find, (No longer being produced) hence the expensive price tag on select titles.

  Contact me if interested: 09204528647

  Also add me online on the PSN- Francision69
