They're having a laugh.
The OG PS 3 on it's Jones is worth about £300 innit ?
RE: Was the PS 3 thread but now it's about general gaming, okay ? - ez-1 - 04-09-09
If you are talking that very first 60Gb version you are probably right.
I actually sold my first ps3 for more than 500€ less than year ago just because someone wanted to have one with PS2 compatibility along the other extra features. I were more interested about new warranty and silent PS.
RE: Was the PS 3 thread but now it's about general gaming, okay ? - mr.pure - 04-09-09
Yeah, I hear you on that one.
Mine is quite noisy and runs pretty hot too but no way could go without playing full Gran Turismo.
Gotta keep sharp for number 5.
Just tried Dirt 2 out and although it's fucking annoying not being able to click to move on instead of listening to some cunt ramble on, the game itself looks and feels great.
Definitely gonna pick it up next week and sell the old version.
RE: Was the PS 3 thread but now it's about general gaming, okay ? - ez-1 - 04-09-09
The old version was a bit boring to me and maybe a bit too arcade.
RE: Was the PS 3 thread but now it's about general gaming, okay ? - mr.pure - 04-09-09
Yeah, maybe, but still a good game.
It is a bit arcadey but that also makes it playable.
I ain't too into all that tinkering bollocks.
RE: Was the PS 3 thread but now it's about general gaming, okay ? - ez-1 - 04-09-09
I can see your point and to be honest it was quite ok.
RE: Was the PS 3 thread but now it's about general gaming, okay ? - GeeBee - 06-09-09
I'm considering getting my first console for the Beatles Rock Band and know nowt about them at all really.
Wii, xbox or playstation?
What are the experts' opinions?

Personal preference tbh. Either go for the wii if you aren't too serious about games or you want people who don't play games to play with you or the Xbox/Ps3 for grown games. Most games thesedays come out on both Xbox and Playstation but each has a few exclusives that might tip the balance for you (Metal Gear Solid, Gran Turismo, Uncharted, Halo, other forgotten stuff). Also worth bearing in mind the Xbox is a fair bit cheaper to start with although Playstation's online component is free, Xbox Live is a subscription service. Graphics and performance are generally better on the PS3 too, along with Bluray support that comes with it.
It comes down to which fits what your after best. If you need amazing graphics and all the latest shooters/racing games then the Wii isn't for you. If there are a couple of "must have exclusives" (Wii has it's fair share too - Smash brothers, Super Mario [kart], Zelda) then go for that console. If you want something that the girl can play (other than Rock Band) then the Wii is perfect. Really just about what you want it for and whether the price is worth the trade-offs.

Top summary there fella.
My answer was going to be get all three.
Although, could probably live without the 360.
RE: Was the PS 3 thread but now it's about general gaming, okay ? - SuperstarFreak - 06-09-09
It's purely down to personal preference.
The ps3 was a mahoosive disapointment for me.
I have always been a PS fan but the PS3 offered so much and has never delivered.
I find the ps3 online network is lacking compared to XBOX 360, free does not mean better.
A casual gamer would be happiest with the Wii, very family friendly. Loads of games and add on's but they are pricey and it can end up costing a fortune.
I personally find that the xbox 360, although obviously flawed, is a good all rounder. Not great, but good.
The introduction of project Natal (no controllers
)for the 360 this Christmas is going to be VERY interesting.
RE: Was the PS 3 thread but now it's about general gaming, okay ? - jam - 06-09-09
How the fuck can you play with no controllers?
The 360 is shit, it will burn your game discs and will almost certainly overheat and need replacing, possibly multiple times.
Wii or PS3. One of them. Maybe you could try the new slim PS3. Bigger harddrive and that.
And Im pretty sure that the 360's controllers need batteries too, but not with the PS3!
RE: Was the PS 3 thread but now it's about general gaming, okay ? - mr.pure - 06-09-09
It's a similar thing to what Playstation did a few years ago with Eye Toy but more advanced.
If I had to choose just one console I'd pick the PS 3 without even batting an eyelid.
RE: Was the PS 3 thread but now it's about general gaming, okay ? - ez-1 - 06-09-09
I'm with Mr. P on this one. Had a X360 when it came to market but sold it soon after. I know it's better now than then but still haven't missed anything else than Forza which was quite OK.
Just got my PS3 slim on Friday. I'd say this one is a bit more quiet than the last version.

Not that into playing console games (far too addictive!) however if I was going to splash the green I would get a wii, plenty of playability on one of those.
Saying that my favourite modern game is Halo /2/3 - love it!
