I bought my PS3 not for gaming for the Blu-ray and web browser thing, sitting at the TV and dont have to get up, turn the pc on and all that work (im 1 lazy cunt), But ive never really used it for gaming, ive spent many many many hours on COD4 multiplayer though, Ive read some people think the PS3 online is shit? ive never been disconnected, never lagged out or anything, I think its great, my nephew said the other week he has spent a total of £200 on Xbox subscription and keeps getting kicked of Fifa 09 lol When I used to hae a Xbox I would purely use it for gaming the Dvd quality was utter shite on it, When I was buying a PS3 I did consider a Elite but then read into it more and found that HD Dvd was the ugly cousin compared to Blu Ray, So yeah But i dont think Xbox and PS3 should be compared in my opinion and experience, Xbox is a pure gaming machine and nothing more whereas I view PS3 as a home entertainment system store movies, stream downloaded (Pirated) movies from the computer straight to PS3 even free blu-ray movies (slaps wrist), and after my Xbox over heated 2 times and Microsoft returned my xbox broken I thought fuck bill gates

haha:P i do not like the business about how you can report abuse and get people kicked off on the xbox which could be quite annoying. Where do you lye on the success of the WII? I think its done extremley well, but if it wants to reach the wuality of the Xbox and PS3 the grpahics need tweeking quite abit, but its great fun.

hmm after reading back my previous post I thought I made a dogs dinner of expressing myself I got the PS3 for:Blu-Ray Free online gaming Streaming videos via the PC Photo collections upgradeable HDD (Im now with a 500gb HDD) - Internal too the web browser - Its just less fuss turning the PC on when I just want to browse the oatckae, ofcourse i wouldnt do online banking and stuff. and the colour and style of the PS3 really fits into its surroundings Why I had a Xbox:for pure funage was the best console out at the time (tech spec wise) family members had one played Dvd's so got rid of the other one and had a gaming console and Dvd buitl in 1 Halo 3 but then it just got boring and i ended up part-exing it.

Well SCF4CFC, I'm still not forgiven you yet for not getting me the Home beta, you twat But your points are interesting. I too see the xbox as a pure gaming machine and the PS3 (which is in my studio) gets used for more than gaming. Blu Ray IS amazing, but thats it. I've got everything linked up from my PC to my xbox so don't need the ps3 for music, videos etc, thats what the xbox does (and a whole lot easier aswell). However, I am keeping the faith with the PS3, I'm sure it will come good eventually. Who knows, perhaps 2009 will be its year? I, personally think 2010 will be the PS3 year. (But having read that back its odd that the two best games of the year, MGS4 and LBP, are on PS3 !!) Hmmmm

The Playstation will improve hopefully. Yes, i do love the blueray filming, its a great add on but which did bump the price up quite considerably with it being £425 when first released, but what i have been wondering for quiet a while is why the 80GB ps3 was released? When we clearly have two, of the 40 and 60GB's

Ive not tried MGS4 yet and ive only tried LBP from that beta you got me on, so I may splash out in the new year and get them, but im mainly a PC gamer, play Warcraft, FM09 and my PC specs kinda make the PS3 and Xbox loks like bread bins

But people look to much into it on this forum, just like what you like and dont like what you dont and people seem to really force their opinions on here on "What is best"
Im extremely happy with my PS3 and have no regrets what-so-ever, does that mean I own a banjo and shag my sister?

I had a PS2 for years and years, as soon as it came out I had one and was very happpy with it. The xbox came out and I didn't give shit, the PS2 was miles better. Then the 360 came out and I was still not giving a shit as I had Pro Evo online on the ps2, together with snake eater and San andreas etc, so nothing the 360 could give excited me. Then my mate borrowed me his 360 with a copy of Halo 2 and his gamertag so I could play online. I was hooked from then on, Bought myself a 360 the very next day with Gears of war and couldn't be moved from the machine - I'd fell in love with video games again! From then on i've wanted all the new (decent) games coming out so had to buy a PS3 purely for the fact that Metal Gear was soon to come out, in the meantime I had uncharted, resistance and ratchet & clank to play so wasn't too bad. Metal Gear 4 came out and it was a joy to play. I still find myself playing it now, the story is incredible and the directing is superb. But I'm sorry, I find myself drawn to the 360 ALL the time. Halo 3 is amazing for all the family members as we can all play split screen online, something I wish COD 4 or 5 did. All my friends are on 360 which is miles better than playing against (what seems to be all the time) Yanks. Gears 2 is amazing as is COD5 (once you can get round the WWII bollox). Fifa 09 and Pro Evo are good in their own rights. But the game of the year belongs to PS3. Little Big Planet is pure pure genius and will get better with time. I urge all PS3 users to go and get this game. Make a SCFC level or an oatcake level and rule the world. Just dickin about on it is absolute fun and one which our family is gonna be doing this Christmas - A pure family game that is aboslutely outstanding and very easy to use. Little Big Planet is THE Christmas game. So for that alone, I salute the PS3.

Agree 100%, I also think if my 360 wouldnt of overheated so many times I would still be with it

i find an overheating problem with my ps3. It gets very hot very quickly however, isn't as noisy as the xbox but my room goes so warm when i leave it on maybe even just for half an hour. I could purchase the coolingfan for 10 pounds but is it worth it do you think?

Post by scfcton on Dec 23, 2008 0:02:52 GMT
I know the xbox overheats due to the CPU and heatsink arent seperated with Thermal compound so the heatsink doesnt spread the cooling it does very well, take it to white dog and ask them to put some thermal compound on it, i wish i had done it in the first place but I got my PS3 before i busted my 360 open to have a gander

i was playing metal gear 4 last night, and its still very good to play. Online is a let down, I've had so many games on it that lag, but I havent had it on any other games.
Ive not picked up LBP, might do when its abit cheaper on ebay or something. Highly reccommended then?
not bought anything yet of the online store yet, just the freebies.

LBP i'm getting for xmas hopefully, or iol pay it anyway. I play fifa 09 alot of the time, becasue i was highly disappointedwith call of duty 5, so i still play on call of duty 4 loads of the time, becasue to be quite honest is a much better game.

Nice one, what times you play? We do some stuff, in a non-gay way mind, late at night usually like 11. Is that late?? Is to me.
Most of us have headsets actually its Fifa which is more unreliable one match I could hear just 1 lad, next match I could hear 1 other lad. Needs to patched me thinks.
Think the club is called Stoke Boyz. I actually play on my wives account, some cock sucker sent me a picture of his cock, thinking I was a woman. Obv didnt show the wife like, didnt want her getting spoiled.

what position you like playing in? The team game is like Be a player, if you have played that before?? The camera angle is utter doss tho, it puts you behidn the player. Its best to change the camera angle on that one to Tele like I have it so its pretty wide view of the pitch from the side. www.eafootballworld.com/en_GB/profile/3190223Thats my ea profile thing shows games Iveplayed etc
