    I woke up at 5am, but couldn't get Shadow Complex downloaded until about 6am.  I got about an hour in before work.  I was having a good time, finding items, Metroid-style.  Now I can't wait for this work day to be over so that I can start really getting into it!
     
    Anyone else killing time on Giant Bomb until they're set free from work?

    Well, I have to get some work done at my house that I promised myself I would do, but Shadow Complex is right there. It is killing me but I may have to wait until tonight to play it.

    I would love to pick up a 360 to play this game. It sounds great. However, one downloadable game doesn't make the 360's price worth it.

    Computer Programmer.  Work is slow right now.  A couple of weeks ago I wouldn't have had any time at all to kill. I am sufficiently distracted today, however.

    You do know that the 360 has other games right?   
     
    Microsoft was able to finally convince 1 or 2 other companies to create some entertaining software and throw it on a DVD for exclusive use in the console.  It was mostly charity work mind you but still. . .

    Each console has exclusives.  I own a 360 since launch but I would love to play games like Uncharted, Little Big Planet. Wipeout HD and Shatter but I cannot right now.   
     
    I don't believe that your being honest in saying that the "other guy" does not have any other interesting games other than 1 after it being out since 2005.  I see your point but think that you are missing out more than you are willing to admit.

    That's just my personal taste, man. I don't think the 360 has a terrible game selection. I'm just not much into the exclusives available on that console right now.

    I don't know, I'm pretty much the same way but with the 360.  Granted there are one or two PS3 exclusives I'd like but most games I enjoy are multiplatform anyway.  I never been super big in the whole adventure game thing so that kills just about all the big exclusives PS3 has.  MGS4 doesn't really interest me either, sure I'd play it if I had a PS3 but I'm not really jealous.  Killzone does look like good fun, but I'm not really keen on the whole competitive online gaming scene, I'm more about downloading new stuff and talking to friends.  The real stuff I'm sort of jealous of the PS3 of is the PSN games, some of them seems really weird and kind of fun.  I'm not saying it is a bad system, I'm just saying it just might not really be worth owning both a 360 and a PS3 at this point...in fact it is pretty obvious to me it is not worth it.

    Amen, dude. At this point the console you have mostly depends on the exclusives it has that interest you. The majority of games are multi-platform so one console is enough.

    Dudes! Let's move the 360 vs. PS3 debate elsewhere!  This topic is for people incarcerated in their offices for the day! Cheers and thanks. :)

    My download managed to finish just at the same time I needed to leave for work :( I've got a long day in the lab I work in, and then tickets to a Dodgers game after work...so it's going to be pretty late before I get to play this damn game. Whoa is me.

    Now that you all phrase it like that, I find it pretty awesome that the DL Games on each console (having both) make it "worth" (the subjective part) having each. 3 years ago I wouldn't have imagined that being the case. But games like Braid, Flower and probably this are "must-haves" (at least must-play-through) in my book. 
    Would I pay a grand to play all the DLG's I've enjoyed this gen? ... Hmm. Maybe? I suppose we find ways to afford what we really want.
     
    More on-topic: I gotta wait 5 more hours to play Shadow Complex. That will just mean I'll play it 5 hours longer later :)

    Would I love to have both. . .hell yeah.  But right now I just don't have the $500 to buy the PS3, extra controller and a few games.  I bought the 360 at launch and play every type of game except RPGs so I am very, very interested in PS3 exclusives and the PSN games like you mentioned. 
     
    Having both is the best option but just can't swing it.

    This is actually one of the most peaceful debates I've ever read...I usually dont read a full thread because I can't stand all the "I'M RIGHT YOU'RE WRONG!" bull.

    On topic - Money is tight at the moment...really want The Beatles and Arkham Asylum...also just bought Madden.  Anyhow, I very much look forward to playing this demo and fighting the temptation to buy this.

    I'm just not a mental fan boy, I'm a fan of good games.  I like the Microsoft system I have but also like the PS3 since I had both previous Sony consoles.
