All the 3 consoles have official magazines, and the reviews from these official mags alone do not have enough sway to change the Metacritic rating - the aggregation of review scores from different sources is one of it's strengths.

The official mags don't always give full marks to the format exclusives. Official Xbox Mag UK gave Halo 3: ODST 9/10, whilst Official PlayStation Magazine UK gave Killzone 2 9/10.

Wow. Kim_Naroz. You really are militant!
That the other charaters will beavailable via DLC is pretty much a given. But by writing your post are you trying to persuade Xbox 360 owners away from the PS3 version? Then going into a rant on why YOU think one version is superior to the other despite NOT having played it? Do you really think your post will make the slightest bit of difference?

It's okay to have a favourite console, just keep the passion in check!

Xbox Live is a robust and proven service. However Ive always felt like spitting feathers when it comes to paying the high cost of a yearly subscription. If Sony raise the game of the PSN, I can see a time when multi-console owners decide not to renew their subscription to Live.

Xbox Live = Online Gaming TAX

Markajaw. Its not a problem with the PSN network - being a multi-console owner i know it works fine.
The problem is that Konami chose not to use the PSN servers.

These problems all stem from Konami's greed to get customer details.

They rejected the use of the many Sony servers, the Sony SDK etc which all allow a proven working online gaming system.
Instead gamers have to use their PSN ID as well as TWO different Konami IDs!
Gamers have to spend time creating accounts on a PC if they want to play MGSOnline on the PS3!
Konami servers are overloaded and slow.
They made the customer experience for the PlayStation 3 user when it wasnt necessary.
