Yup - Get an RGB SCART lead.

Amazon.co.uk: Premium RGB Scart Cable (PS3): PC & Video Games

and the wiress controllers are wireless by default - they just "work" (once you have charged them

Theres a side by side comparison knocking about the web somewhere, ps3 *** creed looks very washed out and not as crisp or detailed.

I don't care whats on the web, Assassins Creed looks excellent on my PS3.

Its set in 1100 something AD, so maybe it should look a bit washed out

Assassins Creed does in fact look crisper and has better colour reproduction on the 360 version. However, the 360 version does suffer more from jaggies, texture tearing and good old fashioned bugs (I managed to fall through the scenery several times).

I've only played AC on a 360 but I was shocked how rough it was.

so when they stop flashing red just unplug them and they work, that sounds too easy

I had that issue when I got my PS3.

With the 360 it came with a load of batteries and cases, plus I then bought the play & charge thing (another MS extra!!) and got another battery case.

When I unpacked the PS3 I couldn't work out what to do with the controller at first
