I bought it to write a piece on some older games that are still good now, havent played this on the 360 so i guess a comparison is out of the question but i really enjoyed reading your comparison. Looks like i made the right choice but i'll get back to you in a week or so ;) lol. Well as a matter of fact i picked this up yesterday along with Street Fighter IV on the PS3.

If I'm going to be playing something for hours then I'll happily get up and pop a disk in. I've got a pre-order down for a DSi. I'm not sure whether I'll go through the purchase but the idea of the downloadable software does interest me. The confusion over the next PSP has been enough to put me off getting one anytime soon (until it's clear what's happening). I could see myself being tempted by an iPod touch, however, but that would be at the expense of the DSi.

I've usually been skeptical about claims that digital distribution will ultimately replace boxed products (and I still am), but I'm now learning about how truly convenient it is. Over the last month, I've spent more time playing WiiWare titles that actual retail games for the console. I've also just invested in an iPod Touch, and I love the easy system of just finding a game, downloading it and playing it straight away. The system I really think it will appeal to me on is PSP, which has full GTA and Burnout titles available for download. I checked out the store and game sizes and I can easily fit a nice collection on my memory stick. If only the hardware wasn't so limited, i.e. died every time I went to play it, I'd love to download the Burnouts. Interesting point about the convenience of having the game on the hard drive.
