    You do realise that the PS3 is outselling the 360 worldwide and has been faster selling?Only US/UK does it trail now.You are also just making stuff up.Are you 12 years old?

    We in the UK join the US in their unbridled stupidity.

    More poor Edge reporting.Your recent form is rubbish.It's common knowledge that all major Tokyo stores have sold out of PS3 about 2 weeks ago and now the channels are clear for the new one.It has dropped for the last 3 weeks due to supply issues.
    Note the headline.Yet again negative take on the situation.Why didn't you put a negative headline on the MS "price drop"???I say price drop but it's really price move/cable removal.I'm thinking about cancelling my subscription.I've defended Edge about most things but in the last year or so it has become clear that you have a preference for 360
    .The letters page was on the money and your response as weak as gamecentrals,when faced with the same accusations.Saying it's not true,or claiming it,does not eradicate the many examples.To be honest I'm utterly gutted,I've loved Edge for many years but ever since Mr Biffo went anti PS3 nuts,shortly before leaving(without any logic)the magazine has been in decline.
    I'm quite deluded by the whole press treatment of Sony this gen and the level of misinformation is both scary and unprofessional.
    For example,The myth that the PS3 is getting hammered in global sales by the 360.In fact the last financial year there was a less than 100000 difference in sales,with the PS3 at twice the price in most places.
    Please,Edge give me some reasons to keep my subscription and prove to me that my multiformat safe haven hasn't joined the vast majority of media in thanking MS for the free 360s and Live accounts.

    I'm getting sick of this.I've looked around and the level of media condemnation is so low.If Sony has done this they would be utterly slaughtered.The Guardian even called the Arcade price a price cut.The 50 quid difference is huge,in value terms, in favour of PS3 slim vs Elite.The Blu ray is worth that easily not counting Bluetooth,Wi Fi,Browser,Vidzone and free online service.I own all consoles and you can probably tell I prefer my PS3 but the thing that gripes me is not the dislike of PS3 by media,but the lies and unbalanced reporting used to reinforce their belief.The media has been dishonest.
    Every arguement I've heard seems to ignore any pro PS3 counter
    eg.Live is better than PSN.I rarely hear anyone talk about larger player counts in ALL Ps3 games or that host advantage is rife on 360,or even that I've been bumped more on 2 player 360 games than 32 player PS3 games.
    When I get asked "what game system should I buy"my first question is "what games do you like".I want ot say PS3 but keep in balanced and try to find out what they require from it.Surely "professional"media should be fair.
    I know that journos(even freelancers) get free 360s and Live accounts(stated by Shane Bettenhausen on 1up yours before he left) and not PS3s but come on,are you that easily bought.
