PS3 AND Xbox..?

Glad you're enjoying the 360 mate, it really is a top console, especially online with friends. Some of the games available are just ridiculously good, shame however that mine broke on Friday. :laugh:

Getting it repaired for free though so I'm happy.

I have both consoles and both are really good for differing reasons. PS3 is like a sort of solo console where as Xbox online is top drawer and more catered for fun and banter.

Not got round to getting live set up yet due to cabling issues! My router is the opposite side of the room (20 odd feet away!). Need another long cable, and quite frankly was too engrossed in Mass Effect to bother going out!

I'll get there soon though...

That would make sense because Sony only really designed the PS3 to be used as a Home Entertainment Hub whereas Microsoft have decided to concentrate on the Gaming and Online Playability aspects of the Xbox 360.

It comes down to whatever floats your boat, I guess.

Not sure i agree entirely. Looka t the number of PS3 games that lack multiplayer offline, or even offline modes with AI opponents. One of the reasons i got the Xbox was to expand the options for offline co-op play.

I thought I already pointed that out?

That's why I said "whereas Microsoft have decided to concentrate on the Gaming and Online Playability aspects of the Xbox 360."

Maybe I should have been a bit more clearer. The point I was supposed to get across was that Microsoft have decided to concentrate on developing the playability, creativity and addictiveness of the Games (e.g. Multiplayer modes etc) and the Online Play facility for the Xbox 360.

Sony have decided to sell the Multimedia features of the PS3 (e.g. Blu-Ray High-Def DVDs etc) and less effort has gone into the gaming aspects of the console. This is one of the reasons why there are still very few quality games out on the PS3.

Thanks for clearing that up. Made more sense this time ;)

As for the quality of games, once the PS3 has been out for 3 years i think we'll see the difference in the power of the 2 consoles. I'm not starting an Xbox/PS3 debate here, just that the PS has more untapped potential and a huge whack of catch-up on the Xbox.

Still, both consoles are seriously neglecting multiplayer offline. COD with 'bots' would've helped for example... if Timesplitters could do it on last gen then what's the excuse..?

Good point, and it may be why the XBox 360 is the only console getting the DLC for GTA IV. Sexy time.

Having had my Xbox robbed I'm waiting on my replacement from the insurance company. Wanky tossing cunting fuckers who nicked it. They could have left me a memory card with my Pro option file on it :realmad:

Bloody cunts! What else did they get?

Hope you claimed for an xbox elite Adam;)

I will buy a PS3 in June. Probably.

Apart from Socom and Metal Gear, (which I'm not exactly hyped about either) I still don't think the PS3 is a must have console. I'm not saying I wont enjoy it, but I still prefer the game due out this year on the 360 to the ones for PS3.

Assume these are the same persons who put a brick through your window then?

:no: Sadly not mate, no.

Well they REALLY got my 360, the missus' DS, all games, jewellry, cash and some other bits.

We claimed for a few more bits like which should be with us soon, including a few extra games.

And yes, I did claim an Elite! I neglected to tell the police that I managed to pick up the console for a mere £20 a few months back ;)

I'm sure Theo knows the story :smug:

I traded an old ps2 in with Gamestation and the lass who rung it in did it ALL wrong, I managed to get a 360 Premium, with Saints Row and PES6 for £17.95

I really have no idea how. I was stood there waiting to pay with like £280 in twenties in my hand and when she said "Theres £17.95 to pay" I stuffed the rest back in my wallet and handed over a £20. Got my change and pretty much legged it. Hadn't dared step foot back in until I realised it was safe after she was probably sacked.
