It was hard fboy, alot of ps2'ers were die hard fanboys and would never give microsoft a chance. I have every system dating back to the intellivision, and I must the 360 by surpasses them all for over all ease, games and well roundedness. Now some console are better at this ot a singler little part of that, but the 360 is good at it all. Halo as an over all series was just epic due to its game play and split screen multiplayer and lan connection. It was the next step from n64's golden eye. I dont think I enjoyed the other stories as much as I did the original halo. Alot of people bash ODST but I found it rather neat. It was whta halo2 shouod have been. Halo2 got stupid, and halo3 well bungie new they fucked up the story line and just said we are sorry we will fix it by sticking master chief in another galaxy so we can forget about our stupid story line and oh btw he let another game developer make it so our stupidity wont fuck up this new story line.
