The good thing about the xbox is it doesn't take a minute to install it is install less lol


Flopps you should get a xbox

I'll get this at c*****mas along with a crap load of other imense games, for PC though.

Can't wait to start owning this, CoD4 owning is boring now, no one is on my level

X_Box is weak.
Microsoft product, gold gaming zone whatever, blue ring of death, no blueray, ps3 graphics are better, mp3 better than wma, mp4 better than wma, ps3 runs linux, ps3 takes mouse and keyboard, ps3 can be networked etc etc.

I've done my research, long research, and despite my misgivings about Sony (ok, I've declared an amnesty, lol) it will be a PS3 for me when the time comes.

So sorry bout that

No way dude you can't mock the Xbox. The PS3 will never be close to it. It has under performed greatly, where do you think game developers test their games on? Not the PS3.

I've played a PS3 lots of times before I don't like it half as much as my 360 the controller feels so cheap.

I wouldn't buy a console because it's got blue ray or blue tooth. I'd want a console for gaming performance and free games if applicable. With a PS3 it is not.

The xbox 360 can be networked, can use a usb keyboard. The original xbox is the best for networking purposes in my opinion. You can add a hard drive into it and put on Linux. :_)

Then there is xbox live. I know it costs but it is so much more better than what PS3 has to offer.
That is something the PS3 will never be able to beat.

Have you ever played on a 360 before?

You got Windows made my Microsoft there's nowt stopping you in getting a 360 :_)

Yes, I do have Windows, though not by choice but by monopoly.

I can mock the x-box and I will. One morning you'll wake up and not Halo 3, but Blue halo, lol.

So, forgive my ignorance, but can the X-Box take a mouse?

Best game control ever is mouse and keyboard, no contest.

And I'm paying nobody, repeat nobody, especially Bill Gates or whoever, to play online.

You are known within these circles to be somewhat frugal, want to buy a floppy drive with Bolivian postage stamps, I can't believe you'd pay Microsoft to game. Quite unbelievable.

Yes I like to save money who doesn't? Yes I like cheap deals/bargains, who doesn't?

Well surprise surprise I don't pay MS to game that is why I like it so much.

Well you seem to be stubborn and stuck on your ways. So I will leave you to your expensive copy of Windows. I'm sure they are utilising your money in countries like..... Bolivia for instance.

Gone some what off topic but.......

PS3 for me as well, i have owned a XBox 360 as well.

PS3 wins as it plays games as well as a 360 does.
It has Blu-Ray
I didn't have to buy an extra hard drive.
I don't have to pay to play online.
It looks better,
It didn't break and have to spend 3 weeks waiting for an idiot to put 2 fans in it that should have been there in the first place.
I can use it as a PROPER media centre as it has an optical output.
It didn't invest in HD-DVD and charge people £125 for a player, that is now obsolete.
It didn't try and get Blu-ray and get told to get lost by Sony and Philips.
It was HDMI to start with and didn't bring out a better version a year later that was.

I can buy ANY bigger Hard drive if i choose and install myself.

It didn't die, it didn't die, it didn't die, it didn't die, it didn't die, i think you get the point.

PS3 all the way, i will say it again, people only buy Xbox as they couldn't afford a PS3.

Oh and when IPTV is finally launched by Sony, XBox diesssssssssss, again.

Well, this may sem like an alien concept to you but I really don't mind paying for something if I believe it's worth the money. Such instances, though, are relatively rare. And remember, it's a short life, enjoy while you can.



No surprise I know you don't have to subscribe to their so called gold service but you're the one who thought it was a good thing.

Your quote:



And on:




I am far from that, I'm very open to ideas. As I said, I've been studying the pros and cons for many months now and to my mind, totally unbiased, the PS3 knocks spots off the X-Box.

And my question about the mouse? You side stepping that?



What the hell are you on about? We're talking about consoles here, not Windows. All legal copies of Windows are expensive so be careful what you're saying here and know that I am not blind to what's going down out there in the real world.

In my view, for the most part, Microsoft suck. Which is a damn shame because by and large I do rather like Windows.

Well I am very happy with my Xbox 360 I would choose it over a PS3 any day of the week. Some people have bad experiences other have good ones. Some people have to pay £39.99 for a game others don't need to spend quite so much.

The choice is all individual Waynos out of all your points there most of them point towards one thing - EXPENSE.
That is a big reason why people go for the PS3 because they don't want to pay x amounts of money on something the PS3 can give for free. Such as hard drives or online gaming.

Here is a good read for you both:

Notice the bit where it says "one year later" on the 2nd link.

** plays Quantum of solace on his 360 and gets shot by someone on a chopper.

The mouse? lol

Going to attach one of them things to your proposed PS3?

I'll attach my mouse and keyboard on my 360 and will let you know if they work. I know the keyboard will.

I am interested in your research you seem like you are using your hatred towards Microsoft to doubt the 360's true potential! Apart from what you mentioned so far what else have you found out to sway you down the PS3 route?
