The Elite should have resolved the burning ring of fire syndrome.... I hope.

A bit off topic but I've just found a Wii cooler in Maplin. It comes with a Wii moat too!.

I didn't know Wii got that hot, although I've seen steam coming off mine in cold weather!

My bro has now got through 9 xbox's!! so I'm not to sure about the reliability of them.

So I think I'm gonna be PS faithful and go with the PS3, mainly for GranTurismo.

Although on my old xbox you can't beat online PGR. Excellent stuff.

But then, it all comes down to dosh.

My xbox was fine for the year i had it, sounded like a hoover though. I think a lot of the problems people have with them are when they havn't got good enough ventilation

Thats the Halo edition you want really, got the newer chipset in that doesn't get as hot.

I'm holding off getting a PS3 until GT5, the only reason to play games on it really as there's nothing else worth playing

Shooters and stuff are much better on the PC anyway, stupid gamepads + autoaim

This may sound daft, but can either be used to record off t.v instead of a dvd player/recorder??

ive got a PS3, and played the 360...... here's my opinion....

i am biased as ive been a sony console man/boy throughout! so PS3 all the way!

i have never liked xbox, mainly because i dont like microsoft! i didnt think the first xbox graphics where all that special compared to the PS2.

i have played on an xbox 360 in HD and it was awesome, but i have played on my PS3 with a normal tv, and i thought the graphics where better on my normal tv (playing fifa 08)

the PS3 is silent, when it starts you hear the fan for like 5 seconds, then never again.

im guessing you have already bought an xbox 360 so there isnt too much point in all the biased opinion i put in, but the games coming out on PS3 just look mind boggling!!!!!

my sister won my PS3 in a competition, but if i was paying for a console out of my own pocket, having played both, i would of forked out the extra money for a PS3

I have the 3 new gen consoles and still have a PS2 hooked up as well.

My 360 died, 3 times and with the exception of Forza 2 I've not found a game that holds my attention for more than 2 minutes. It's currently under about a cm of dust as it's been so long since I've played it.

PS3 is an awesome machine but for racig games you really need a wheel as tilting the controller isn't as precise as you'd like. For everything else though the controller is still the best controller .... the shape is still perfect after all these years. Use the BluRay player a fair bit and that is worth the price of the console on it's own!!!

Wii ..... brilliant fun ... nothing more to add other than I play the Wii more than any of the other 3rd gen consoles.


But .... for game play reasons ... the PS2 is my choice ..... although DIRT for the PS3 is probably going to change that when I get round to buying it and GT5 too.


I might be biased a bit as I only play racing games and puzzle games and really don't like first person shooters at all which I think is where the 360 shows it's muscle.

As other people have mentioned on here... I will definately be waiting for GT5, since I am an GT Addict, and have been since GT1 on the PS1.

I have never really liked the Xbox, always seemed to be a bit of a step backwards with specs, although the 360 looks less like a george foreman grill than the PS3!!! I have also heard mixed reliability from the Xbox 360, but also problems with the disc tray on the PS3... so swings and roundabouts.

I can see why the original Xbox was reasonably good, especially when chipped, and worked alongside PC as music/video/slideshow console, but the games never really clicked with me...

Still have my PS2, although don't really have the time or inclination to play on it anymore....

M.

Hey Rich,
I looked into the Halo edition, and its basically a recased white Xbox 360. If it did receive a new chipset, then that is what was also put in the Elite, and the Elite has the quieter fan and 120gb plus a few other goodies extra.

Plus the green is a bit sick, black is where its at...

I think with the Elite's it's hit or miss if you get the new motherboard, I know if you open it up and the CPU cooler doesn't have a heatpipe like the origonal cooler it's the new one.
