DaveK Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Games are not too much of a problem - just get some demos from the PS store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Nice, im considering a PS3 - still way too expensive in this country tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 demos will be downloaded when the system update is done 60gb system £360 360 Premium £280 360 Recharge Pack £13 360 HD Drive £135 360 Weirless Adaptor £60 So thats £360 for the PS3 and £488 for the 360 with the same bits. To me the PS3 sounds a lot cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Haven't Sony reduced the price of the PS3? or is that only in the US? I think it's down to $500 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Do PS2 games look/play any beater on the PS3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 not at the moment as the PS3 only comes with scart waiting for the HDMI cabel and then it looks better because of the res (bit like 800x600 looks rubish on your pc but 1024x768 looks better) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caliAl Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I had my PS3 before I had a HDMI cable, feels like you're playing a ps2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin1982 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Anybody experienced any problems with their 360? Mine has just decided that it doesn't know what to do with the shiny round things I'm putting in the disc tray... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 nope but MS has just put another $1 billion into sorting out the 360 faults and have extended the wauntee's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I heard yesterday that the 360 Elite is coming out with full High Definition I thought the 360 was high def ? Is it not a HD DVD player too ? As you can see I keep right up to date with all this malarkey No probs with my 360 so far, probably cos the only time it gets switched on is when the baby crawls over to it and presses the ON button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I challanged everyone buying a 360 and PS3, I just bought a Wii! Best gaming experience ive had in years. Yeah, but to enjoy the Wii you need friends, and I can't be bothered to get some of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan999 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 My brothers 360 died the day before they decided to change everyones warrenty to 3years and they tryed to charge him about £90 to fix it. Day after Microsoft adimit faults in loads so its now free to send off and have fixed. I got my 360 on the day they came out, would defo not have got one and payed so much if I had known they were going to bring another out! Abit pissed now.

Daston Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 The thing that put the nail in the coffin for me was how MS stated that the 360 was full 1080p compatible. So I purchased a Full HD Sharp tv and was shocked to find that all I could get out of the 360 was 1080i! I was also not prepaired to pay more money for what essensualy MS should have done in the first place. I think this "elite" thing is just a gimick anyone who wanted a 360 would have got one by now and anyone who wants a PS3 and cant afford it wont go "ohhh a black 360 I will buy that instead" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
