You can order US region games through play-asia.com, which is often the best way to buy games here anyways. Bring it for GTA IV alone! A lot of other potentially good ones coming out this year, too...

GTA IV is the game that is going to drag me kicking and screaming into the current generation. But which platform??? I know this question has been done to death, but I just can't decide between xbox 360 and PS3. I am leaning towards the PS3 - it seems quite reasonably priced on Danawa. What would you get?

360 has exclusive downloadable content coming to it in August for GTA4.
It has a better games catalogue either way. I KNOW that the PS3 will one day get some decent games but it's far far behind just now. I sold mine off after buying it from Bassexpander. Never played it.

360 has Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, crackdown - PS3 doesn't.

If you desperately want Blueray there is only one choice really. If you are happy enough watching HD movies etc from files then you can use either.

I'm happy to have got shot of my PS3. Maybe in a few years when if it does finally get off the ground I will buy another one.

Should I bother bring my xbox360?


sure, bring your xbox ... then you'll be just like the other million foreigners who travel to new and exotic countries, and spend all their time on their fat arse in front of a television.

ps3 supposedly has a slight edge in graphics and load times.

X box has exclusive content, that says it all. I heard the difference in graphics isn't that noticeable.

Very good.

IS IS IS IS IS though.

All I have heard from PS3 owner is IS.

As I said previously I had one and it got sold because nothing was released that was any good. It was always going to be released.
