I have a 360 and will get a Playstaion 3 but that’s because I’m a sony whore. Until Sony officially release the spec of the PS3 a real comparison will be tough. But the fact it will be a blue ray player is reason enough imo saves buying one of them at £1000. I think the ps3 will be bigger because of the game developers on hand and if its anything like the ps2 vs xbox the game selection was much larger, that’s not always a good thing though.

I'd rather have a few decent games to pick from, as there was a lot of shit released on the PS2 :p
I'm kind of a fan of Sony's hardware aswell, tho they tend to charge retarded prices, knowing it will sell anyway :p The PS2 was way more expensive than the Xbox and Game Cube, and it wouldn't surprise me if it turned out the same way with the PS3, though I think the PS2 was the first next-gen console released the last time, which could've been reason for the retarded prices.

I don't think it will be under £350 £400 as according to cnn they will only make one version. The first blue ray player was priced at $1800 so if its coming with one of those i can't see it being cheap. I will have to buy it just for Gran Turismo 5 and the next Metal Gear Solid. Or was GT4 released multi platform i can't remember.

The reason the PS2 was so expensive at start was because they included DVD players in there, which were fairly new, at that time. I would've thought they'd go for a regular gaming system this time instead, but I guess they want to go all out :p

I can hardly picture myself playing some rpg for hours, swinging the controller around like mad while chopping up zombies or the likes :p It might be fun for a while, but I think that whole new controller thingy will eventually get boring and lose to greater cpu power and regular controllers.

According to some site Sony will try to make the console run at 120 fps, which might be nice in the future, but is fairly useless atm as the average TV can only display half of that, and it most likely won't drop the price :p

Bit like having speakers that quote frequencies above 20 KHz. Freaking pointless as humans would not notice the difference anyway.


The Xbox 360 looks good but with the PS3 having free Multiplayer as oppossed to the MS Live solution I think it has the edge.

hdtv > bluray
xbox 360 > ps3

i heard ps3 will be like 1000$+ at release, thats double the price of a xbox
thou i think ps3 will have better games and stuff and u dont rally need a xbox cause most games released on the 360 will be avalible on pc.
I love my 360 thou mostly cos my pc sucks and cant afford an upgrade atm

I couldn't care less about them sticking high-end shit in there, especially if you can't tell the difference when actually playing. The thing is that with every bit of useless/over the top hardware they add, the price will go up, which they'll obviously take out on the customers, knowing Sony :p

I cant see Sony releasing the PS3 without HDTV in. So basically Bluray and HDTV > HDTV and DVD.

I like my 360 and i will buy a ps3 but there is not point in assuming anything untill Sony offically release the spec of the PS3 and a price you will not know which is better.
