At this moment my lounge viewing consists of a

1/ LG427000 TV

connected to

1/ PS 3 250 GB Slimline console connected via HDMI

2/ Xbox 360 80 GB + HD player connected via HDMI

3/ Nintendo Wii connected via AVI

all audio via

1/ LG HT32S Surround sound system


Console quality

Graphically the PS3 and Xbox 360 are equal when gaming
The Xbox 360 takes the internet options just from the PS3
The Nintendo Wii is awful because its only supports AVI and not HDMI

Video or HD is great between the PS3 and the Xbox 360


PS3 ..watched James Bond-Casino Royale........superb...Blue ray
Xbox 360 HD watched Harry Potter-Goblet of Fire...superb..now obsolete

so the Blue Ray is left on its own to appeal


more opinion soon :)

Hi Rush...

Sounds like a great place with all them consoles.....i always knew the ps3 would have trouble beating the xbox360.
I was actually in game today and bought Wolfenstein for me xbox 360.
The new ps3's with the 250 Gb are now 350 quid so i might get one soon.
Game will take the 360 as a trade in for the ps3 and give me 105 quid off.
I'll be keeping me 360, thanks very much.;)

Maybe you should resize them?

If you want to attach to a post as an attachment 800 pixels wide is recommended size. Even then it may need reducing in size if it's in RAW format as there is a forum limit on file size.

You can use http://imageshack.us/ to automatically re-size and upload images (you can select any size and it even provides the forum code to paste in) :) It's surprisingly good and quick.

That sounds like an amazing setup! Casino Royale on Blu-Ray is one of the best examples IMO.... plus it's got Eva Green in it :D

I bought a PS3 quite recently and I'm very surprised at how much I like it, even the browser on it is fantastic. It renders sites like PC Review just as they look on the PC, the only problem is it doesn't support the latest version of Flash yet.

Gamestation £309 with 4 games...x2 Top Range and x2 Budget
great value

And VR not 5.1 ? Thought about it but decided to splash out the extra on the 3.1 as although space is ok too many gadgets
the sound is brilliant and Yes Ian , James Bond was fantastic..the action Airport scenes with the Bass sound function on was absolutely brilliant

Quake 4 is good but very very samey.

Level after level of claustrophobic trawling through inner spacecraft/complex where monsters jump out on you so many times you get to predict them.

Graphically good, atmospherically good, but monotonous.

Worth buying only on budget, imo.
