Dunno if this has already been done, but this is the Playstation 3 thread This is where you can post about PS3 and what PS3 games you like etc

What's the official release date? I was eventually going to get a SEXBox 360 but the controller has funked my PES skills up!

Also any news on whether hooking it up online is easier than it was for the PS2?

I have to see it in person to make my mind up about it!
if i dislike then a 360 it'll be for me

Sony will have a serious panic on their hands trying to get the PS3 released by then. They've been experiencing problems with the power supply overheating (similar to the 360) and may need to have a large external power pack instead (like the 360 again). There was even rumours that the cell proccessor runs so hot that its proccessing power may be lowered. Of course this is all rumour from various forums i have checked out recently.

Aye, when I played PES5 on my mates Xbox, I just felt wierd and couldn't get use to the controls. And still gubbed him 7-1.

Anyway - PS3 is definitely what I will get, while my brother gets the Wii.

It's just that I've adapted to the black and white button. Now that they're triggers on the 360 controllers it's just thrown me!

There was a conference last year and Sony listed the services it plans for online:

The full list of planned services for the PlayStation Network Platform is as follows:

Communication/Community:
Account created through user registration
Lobbies/Matchmaking
Scores/Ranking
Game data upload/download
Presence/Friend List/Avatar
Voice/Video Chat
Messaging

Commerce
Shops (can be accessed from inside games)
Content Download
Game boot from HDD
Subscription
Selling item by item
Micropayment
Entitlement Management

Account
User Registration
Login ID/Handlename issue

Basically free online with friends list, voice and video chat, matchmaking, ranking and all that crap. They also want to setup download stores for music, movies and PS1/2 games, "microtransaction-like".

footballcool91, post the PS3 features. How can you have a thread about the PS3 without its main features? I'd like to know them.

Then why not put a heatsink fan of some sort on the cell processor, just like what they put on CPUs?

Go to http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/index.html it has lists of games and you can compare it to the XBOX 360, Gamespot is best for games, I read somewhere though that may change your opinion on the PS3. Unless you already have one if you dont it will cost you around £1,999 and thats not for the PS3 by the way thats for the HD television you need for the PS3!!! XBOX 360 is designed for HD tele but can work on any whereas the PS3 will only work on HD.


EDIT: My bad you need a 1080 HD television screen or normal TVs with a bigger output than TVs needed for PS2

Is it really HDTV only?

http://www.audioholics.com/techtips/...3vsXbox360.php check that for specs mate but im not sure if it is XBOX 360 or XBOX 360 core. and i am not 100% certain if PS3 will only work for HD television but i have checked out sites and they only seem to mention it working on HD 1080p and not saying what other screens it works on, i will ask my boss at Dixons if he has any info i can have, he ordered PS3 for january not november,

EDIT: forgot to add read the GPU on the site i sent you it tells you the screen required!

But you dont have to have a certain HD TV , but a HD 'READY' one. Vague, isnt it?
