yeh both and although a hark on about the 360 being better (which of course it is ), the PS3 is good in its own right. I just get pissed with Sony all the time - I mean look at Home - its awful - theres nothing to do, at all. You even have to buy, yes buy, different items - the robbing bastards. Its a good job Little Big Planet is immense, otherwise I would be selling it as all the decent games come out on the 360 anyway. The PS3 needs to do so so much better, and time is running out I think. A lot of ex sony playsation 2 heads are now buying 360's instead of PS3's, so the 360 industry is booming while the PS3's just goes from one nightmare to another. I really do hope Sony prove us all wrong, but it aint gonna be soon.

sony have let us down. firstly with the lateness and messing around of the console. Yes, it does have blueray, but all it means is we have to pay an extra £10 to watch a film we could watch for less just on a slighty better definition which also means you need a HD TV.
Home, yes, i agree is boring. 59p for a t-shirt the scamming idiots. Its all a money making scandle!! Sony are in serious trouble! So they make this to get money out of us. games are much more expensive at 50 pound instead of 30-40 on other consoles brand new.
I do in a waywish i had the xbox due to the lack of people on the playstation 3 which is a real letdown but also i love how we have the wlan in the console already so you do not need to splash out 50 quid for the bridge and also even if xbox live is better we have a free version, which is needed due to the price of the console when it was first released.

Some good points josh, nice of you to look at both consoles and their advantages and disadvantages for once instead of just saying ones crap But yeah, i wish the xbox did have WI-FI built in, although i could of managed without the wireless adapter. And I'm not too bothered about paying £30 a year for live as it only works out at £2.50 a month which is good imho. The PS3 does have some good points, like WI-FI but mainly the blu-ray. Although i don't think the difference between Blu-ray and other definitions isn't worth buying a PS3 for. And having to pay 59p just for a T-shirt on Home is just ridiculous ;D

they should make a console with both features of the xbox and ps3 so ewveryone is on one console and so is amaizng. Such as Blue ray of the ps3 wqith the built in wlan and the free online. Xbox controllers, online dashboard ands etup with some of its game, and then everyone would be appi:)
With a thing called playbox Home:)
the PlayBox...coming to a highstreet near you!!

Could make it look like ;D Anyway, that would be a good idea Josh. But with everyone on the same console the servers would have to be very sophisticated and would cost a lot to be able to have millions more people on. Still, with the way technology is advancing it wont be long before something like this will happen

with the server problem, the ea server struggles with 1,000 people online and so causes everyone to lose connection, is a real problem to be honest. Right chris if i have created a signirture picture in paint, and saved uit how do i get that code to put into the thing on here to make it my signiture?

I'm buying the next Xbox.
I'm giving up on Sony mostly down to the extra price not really being worth it.
129 for an Xbox is an absolute bargain.

to be perfectly honest rhodesy i will also. I'm sure alot of people would agree with us that song, for the PS3 has been a huge letdown, and from the massive world of the PS2 the PS3 really hasn't lived up to what we thought it was going to be.

I'm glad I bought a PS3 but quickly realised the bluray is nothing special and the extras that come with it for free barely matter.

Does anyone have a problem with their wireless speeds? It was something I never noticed before as I was mostly using a 32" CRT and when connected downstairs to my 1080p set I never did any downloading.
Three months ago I bought a second 1080p Samsung and started to download a demo from the PS Store. I'm with Virgin and I always get the full 10meg speed where I live.
Anyway, this demo was taking a while to download so I paused it, opened the browser and went to a speedtest site to see if I'd hit Virgins download caps. My download was 3meg but my upload was the full speed so I wasn't being capped.
Out of curiosity I connected an ethernet cable and my speed went to the full 10meg. I changed back to wireless and my speed dropped to 3meg again.
Keeping the connection wireless I changed the PS3 resolution to 576p only and it went back to 10meg so I went through all the resolutions to check the speeds.
576p = 10meg 720p = 5meg 1080i = 4meg 1080p = 3meg
I've searched all over the internet but I seem to be the only one that has this problem.
Any ideas?

I mean look at Home - its awful - theres nothing to do, at all. No one's played Home, only Home BETA when does the proper version of home come out? And when is the full version of Gran turismo out instead of this prologue that seems to have been out for ages:P.

Prologue was wank, sold it after a week, was the most tedious racer ever. Gran Turismo died with 3. The physics are inexcusable this day in age. Ive used the same tactics on prologue as I did in 1, slide into the opposition and bounce off and win.
I did quite enjoy forza 2 but theres only so much racing you can do without getting bored stupid. Pro street was miles more enjoyable than prologue.
50 quid for games though josh? where the friggin hell are you shoppin?!

The ps3 has been a MASSIVE dissapointment. Just hasnt delivered at all. Never thought i'd say it but both this gen I bought an xbox first and next gen will be gettin an xbox.
The only reason(s) I sold it was cause I didnt want to pay 40 for online cause I didnt think I'd use it that much but after using the ps3 online, it is ace playing online so will reconsider the price next time round, unless microsoft decide to do it free which really would stuff sony. The other reason was mgs4.
As I've said, sony really are backwards with the ps3, the software, the service etc.
Other than that I think the blu ray does look mint, I use it on a 40" samsung 1080p, and its a cracking picture, cant wait to see dark knight on it, blu rays are only about 15-18 quid these days, pretty much the same as dvd's depending where you look.

I mean look at Home - its awful - theres nothing to do, at all. No one's played Home, only Home BETA Sorry mate, but a Beta is supposed to give you a small taster of the full release, so if this is the taster, god help Sony, cuz you must admit Home is absolute SHITE !!!! Whereas, I was fortunate to get the Little Big Planet Beta and was absolutely amazed by it. I was playing it for about a month before it came out and was on it every day. I also had the COD 5 Multiplayer Beta, which was again, immense. So, if a Beta is supposed to get you hooked on a game, then Home has failed abysmally. I dare anyone to disagree.
