    Default Preference: Games or Movies?

    I've seen PS3 owners being accused of preferring movies to video games a lot on here. But I figure that the 360 owners here must like movies also since they are on this site that reviews movies and not video games. So I was just wondering what do people here like the most?

    i'd call myself pretty much 50/50. my gaming attention span is split between pc gaming and consoles though, and my movie time is limited by when the wife is available to watch a movie with me.
    Can't you recognize bullsh*t? Don't you think it would be a useful item to add to your intellectual toolkits to be capable of saying, when a ton of wet steaming bullsh*t lands on your head, "My goodness, this appears to be bullsh*t?"

    Yeah 50/50 for me too. Back in the day I was probably more like 75% games but now I can appreciate kicking back to a good flick just as much. Wifey doesn't like most of the movies I like though so I've been picking up more drama type and less of the mindless action flicks. She actually does like Ninja Gaiden and Tekken though so I guess its a fair trade off.

    I am 70 - 30 in favor of movies. Sometimes I rather just relax and sit back and watch a movie and do nothing while gaming is more involved. It is piss poor I blow so much on games and don't even play them all through

    I voted 75% games but it's probably a little closer than that because they really serve different purposes (for me at least)

    I love my games when I get home from work for a couple hours before my girl gets home. But when we're together or other people are over it's movies / TV

    I love movies and am slowly starting a Blu-Ray collection, but given a choice between Guitar Hero and 300, I'll go with Guitar Hero more often than not. My game collection is smaller than my movie collection, but gets far more action on screen, so I'm a definite 75/25 in favor of games.
