Bollocks.

Motorstorm is brilliant. just the first 2 or 3 levels have crap cars/courses.

I got mine for £340 so i guess im going to be happy with it,

the graphics are superb when the hdmi settings, hdmi cable and the hdmi on the tv are all together.

so

on a side note, andyone got resistance Fall Of Man? bought it the day adn wondering about opinions

Who cares about PS3 and 360, Wii is pissing on both sales wise and is much more fun. Online is getting there as well when you consider the others had theres running on the old consoles far before.

there are far more games because the 360 has been out for 15 months longer, sony developed there console properly, so when it came it out, it actually worked, not for a month or 2 till it overheats and you get the red lights of death . consoles are horses for courses, each to there own, the 360 is an awseome bit of kit when it works, ive had both, and feel far more comfortable with the ps3, because i know at least it will work when i want to use it, which i couldnt guarnatee with the 5 360's i had.

Fair enough, obviously you have had a bad experience with the xbox but me and a mate got ours a little while ago and so far they haven't gone wrong.

I do agree that the PS3 offers everything in one package, no need to buy add ons but the games are better, only as mentioned as its been out longer.

Been a huge playstation fan it was strange that I went for the xbox but for now I definately think I made the right decision.

In a word bollock's

More (percentage wise) ps3's have been returned cos they've fucked up.

At the min only buy one cos it's the cheapest blu-ray player availiable
Game's erm shit
Online erm shit
I play 360 online and i play with yank's and brit's and to ALL of them it's a second machine.
Sony have cocked it up big time

How is it bollocks ? as said, ive had 5 xbox360's, everyone broke, one lasted, and i kid you not, 2 days , and 1 playstation 3, which i have had since launch day, still working fine, never let me down once. microsoft themselves have agreed they have had to make ' an unacceptable amount of repairs ' due to the fact there was a design floor, if you dont believe me, read these.

Personally I think both Sony and Microsoft have cocked it up, lets face it both systems are loss making and they are fighting over the same market ( hardcore console gamers) with the same kind of games seen on previous consoles... its the same shite just graphically better

Nintendo have it sorted, the console is not loss making,its out selling both other systems, its game play is amazing and incredibly enjoyable for all ages, its great value for money and appeals to non-gamers... they have in effect increased the market size

No contest between the 360 and PS3 at the moment IMO - 360 everytime!

Plus Halo 3 is out in 3 just over 2 weeks!

Well I have a PS3 and I still rate it. Oblivion looks better on the PS3 than the XBOX and I have put in HOURS and HOURS on it.

Still waiting for a seriously decent game to be released and there isn't any shortage of them comming out in the next year.

But PGR4 seems to be calling for me to buy a 360... just wouldn't have anywhere to put the damn thing

as said, horses for courses

everyone i know that went out to buy a Wii were so excited and said it was the best thing in the world...for about 2 weeks
then the novelty wore off, and now they wish they hadnt bought them

i played one one night with a group of us, and after about 3 hours, i was sick of my own life...

fooking wank imo, but you cant argue with sales figures
