Much as I love my girlfriend, I have loved gaming since before I knew her. It's not a tough one to choose, but lets see how they compare anyway.

Girlfriend pros.

* Gives better cuddles in bed
* Can pick you up from the pub when you are too drunk to walk
* Can do the cleaning, ironing,cooking, washing up.... (I'll get a slap for that one...)
* Gives better "lovin"
* Makes sure you get up in the morning
* Fun on holiday
* Scratches heal
* Mates can fix them without having to go to a repair shop
* Has better Ai (debateable)
* Better looking in the nod (better than circuit boards)
* If you get her to dress like Lara Croft you can do the things you wanted the game to do
* The warranty doesnt run out - You can allways change a faulty one
* Makes a better cup of tea
* Makes you look good when you have two on your arm at the pub (rather than a potential mugging victim)
* Looks better in a bikini
* Never runs out of credits
* Can operate in a powercut
* Multiplayer isnt 10p per min. (but sometimes a lot more...)

Gaming pros.

* Always in the mood for fun
* You choose the games every time
* Turned on by the flick of a switch
* Doesn't take you to the cinema to watch Titanic
* Could give good "lovin" - the blue light keeps winking at me and theres this HDD slot :?
* A good reason to get up early on a weekend
* Fun on holiday (GBA)
* Comes with a manual
* Doesn't own 560 pairs of shoes
* Doesn't get ill on 15 bacardis (well, probably does of you poured them in the cart slot..)
* Doesn't tell your female friends your personal details and measurements
* Better trade-in rates
* Can borrow your mates machine for a change for a week
* Don't have to fix their car
* Doesn't get ill
* Doesn't have a "time of the month"
* You can just turn it off if it winds you up too much
* Doesnt get jealous if you look at other consoles

I'm sure there are more, so bring em on.

(Obviously, I would choose my girlfriend over my PS2, (It's our 6 year anniversary this weekend), but the idea popped in my head and I thought it was funny.)

LOL, I think the girlfriend would win everytime, but Strafex's console wh0res might make me think differently, foursomes are quite appealing.

Congrats on your anniversary.

I say, maybe try to indraduce your girlfriend to gaming. Then you can have the best of both worlds.

Or, force her to play.

Or better still, play the console when she's out and give her some "lovin" when she is in.

You won't get much game time though :o)
