matdodd · #**121** 02-12-2007

Iv only got the PS3 mate but spent the last year livin in a house with 2x psp's 2x Xbox's 1x 360 1x PS3 1x PS2 and a Wii

& we played the PS3 the most!
My mate I lived with loves Xbox (hes a first person fan!) But hes now getin a PS3 aswell. If you play online a lot the 360 is better right now, but next year? More and more people I know are geting PS3's now the price has come down so there will be more people to play online soon & the games are geting better as they learn how to program for PS3.
So if You can buy both

if not id get a PS3 its a good blueray player aswell to go with your nice new LCD!

Cheers, what memory ps3 should i go for? Do you think that the 40 would be enough?? I thought i'd bit the bullet on a 360elite but with the last few comments i'm swaying toward the ps3 now

I have a 60 but a 40 should be fine & if you want more space its easy to change the Hd later anyway. It depends what you want to keep on there iv got some games, music & dvd's but if you have a Pc with dvds/music on it easy to stream them to the PS3 & watch it on Tv!

What LCD was it they offered you?

Have even more beer and buy both

The hard drive on the ps3 is a piece of piss to change out anyway, if you ever run out just buy a laptop HDD.

Can't wait to see those blue films on one(blue ray that is

)
Its an old farm house, so the rooms are a bit big, i even raced my car round the lounge when we dug the floor out!!
What's the best ps3 deal you've seen?

Andy, PS3, in my personal opinion, is a far better machine than the X360 so long as your not a huge 1st person shooter fan in which case the X360 is the one to go for.

My X360 has just cried enough (it's got the Extreme firmware update and although it plays backups fine it has just given up palying originals) and I won't be replacing it!!!!!!!

PS3 is a brilliant machine, Wii is still the most fun. Just bought Candice Mario Olympics today and not heard a word since .... money well spent

matdodd · #**129** 02-12-2007

Dixons had the 60 for £349.99 & the 40 for £299.99! I have seen the 40 for £270 somewhere just cant think where

you fools dont get a ps3

pooooooooooooooo

RogerM · #**136** 03-12-2007

Teddy ..... I have to disagree ..... Xbox 360 won't be replaced ... PS3 is a MUCH better machine and the controller is 1,000,000 times better!

I think the 360 was the biggest waste of money I have EVER spent with regard to home entertainment ..... mainly because it didn't entertain me!

jim76 · #**137** 03-12-2007

i'm with Tony
i can't argue the PS3 is more reliable, more powerful and has more potential, but the controller is grim, and it has pants games currently. in 12 months it may be worth getting but currently the 360 gets my vote.

however the readring of death has supposedly been sorted with the addition of the secound fan to all 360 elites and new 360s

as fo rthe ps3 vs 360 war the 60 is now running hdmi which should take advantage of all 512mb that the ati r600 inside has to offer so theres a plus(the ps3's nvidia has i believe 256mb)the 360 also runs true direct x 10 the ps3 does not it run direct x 9 (the 360 on a decent screen eg 1024 x 1200 1080x1240 will be noticablely better ) note:the normal 360 may not have as good a quality due to it not having a digital connetion (the elite runs hdmi)

however the ps3 oes have a fast processer at 7 times larger than the 360's however with less ram than the 360 but overall his still means the ps3 has faster loading

the 360 can multitask eg play your ipd and play games with its tricore processor however the ps3 cannot

games:i cant oment as i'd be 360 biased towards halo3 (true halo fanboy) however the ps3 is getting ut3 (unreal tornement3 before the 360 so theres a plus)
overall thats al i can rgrgitate check neoseeker forums for more help.

Theres an easy way to see if you have the Falcon chipset. On the box and/or power supply it says the wattage, if it's 175w it's a falcon, if 203w its the older type. The old type cannot run on 175w so it's guarenteed way to know as far as i understand.
