Ben, i read on IGN.com yesterday that Sony have been caught TWICE using project gotham racing screen shots to promote the PS3 and gran turismo 5. fingers crossed blueray goes the same way as betamax  reviews i've read have said the online section of the games on the ps3 have been none too impressive, as well as the actual system being a bit shit, alot less easy to use than xbox live. |

I was reeling I hope you see. I've been content with sony's machines over the last ten years. Except for the fact i had to replace my PS1 twice and my PS2 once :twisted: I'm actually a little concerned about the PS3 though, I know it's very early days but there's a few early warning signs. Blueray for a start. Why bring out your own format when i believe hddvd formats are gonna be the main big gun. Also, because of blueray (i don't quite know all the details), the uk release date was held back. Then when they finally release the machine, not only does it cost an arm and leg at rrp, but they remove whatever it is that lets you play your old PS1/2 games on it to save costs!! SONY!!?? This is Sony! not fucking bettys electrics. All a bit of a weak start for my liking. They have announced a download update so you can play 'some' old games now, but not everyone has the internet. There's probably a load more issues i'm sure... I still won't buy a 360 though even if the PS3 by some impossible happening, flops. Sony will counteract the teething problems. I have faith. |

I'm getting a sense of deja vu here. The age old Sega vs nintendo war. Back in the day anyone who owned a sega console would swear that their machine was the bollocks and were adamant that games were just as good graphically, etc, etc. when in reality the Snes pissed on it from a great height. Sonic the whathog?? Fact is you 360 boys out there (which is most of you i feel :? ) you've got the sega console in the fight there fellas. The PS3's release titles are just basically straight ports from xbox360 games hence why they look neck and neck graphically. If you admit this defeat now, you'll be less disappointed in a year or so when the PS3 steps up to a gear the 360 won't be able to match.  Dont get me wrong i expect to see an improvement in a years time from the PS3. We are seeing 360 games getting better in its life cycle so i expect the same from the PS3. Admitting defeat in graphics, not yet.  The Sony hype machine is trying to suck us all in. I’m happy with my 360 and its online play. We will have to wait and see what the ps3 brings to the table. At the moment they have come with empty pockets. |

I havent really paid any attention to the hype as it's the standard marketing/advert shite everything gets but, I will get one in the future. October sees the release of Grand Theft Auto IV and Pro Evo 7 so I can't really see me not forking out for one. |

I've been a Sony man for many a year, from the days of the original PSX up to the PS2. Then Sony released the PS3 and it just didn't interest me, kept getting put back and then there's the cost as well. So I bought an Xbox 360 instead and I've not been dissapointed.

I remember you were upgrading it a bit that's all. Just wondered if you still had it.
I need to start paying for my pc. Got it all on a buy now pay in 9 months deal, but knowing what I'm like I best start paying for it now before it gets too late.

Yeah i added the Windows XP x64 Edition, 4gig ddr2 PC5300 667mhz memory, Ge-force 7900GT 256mb.
I'm looking into upgrading it to the new XPS700/710 now though. Depends on Budget.

You'd probably be best to hang fire until Vista improves a bit and also the directx10 games start coming out.
I bought a couple of XFX 7600gt fatal1ty graphics cards and put them into sli because it was cheaper than the directx10 capable cards and I'll probably wait until the games get good before I upgrade to vista and new graphics.
You going to bu a refurb again? I built my pc and now I've ironed out the problems I'm well chuffed with the performance.
