I'm a PS man through and through, but as i have a nice big Panasonic HDTV, i had to get a 360 to test it out and to say it's awesome to watch is a total understatment!

Simply devine is close.

Firstly games are £40 in ASDA

Secondly, Chip, PS3 is where whats at? if you know the PS3 exsists point me in the rigth direction, Sony are saying first 1/4 of 2007 now, its laughable. and when it does come out its specs are not gonna be any/if at all better than the xbox360....

Dave...

when did I ever let facts get in the way of a good post?

I was under the impression PS3 was out mid 2006, I'll stand corrected though, and as for specs, I was also on the understanding the PS3 pissed all over the 360 from a great height?

Originally planned mid 2006, now expected late 2006 in Japan at the earliest with later releases for US and finally Europe.

Absolute CPU performance puts the PS3 ahead of the X360 (i.e. it can do more calculations per second) but the X360 graphics capability is far superior meaning that performance is fairly equal.

As John Carmack puts it, overall the PS3 is 20% more powerful but the X360 is more than 20% easier to write code thats uses all the capabilities it has to offer so the games will probably end up about the same.

Disclaimer: this is all from reading what people in the industry have said, so who knows how accurate it is?

360 is here now, will consider the PS3 as and when.

It's something to do, a new gadget, new toy. It's cold and dark outside, sod all going on, so if I wern't spending money on this I'd only be wasting it on something else.

WIll probably get bored of it like everything else, but it's still fun for now. Infact I need another go!

But at least the PS3 will have better and more original software. The Xbox only had a couple of "unoriginal" games that made it stand out solely because it had better hardware than the PS2 (ironically the same argument is now being rebutted by 360 fans against the PS3)

When I say unoriginal I mean PGR, which came from the Dreamcast, and Halo which came from Bungie, a Macintosh developer.

It's the software that will make these consoles and this is where the PS3 will win.

So Sony release it in a years time for Xmas 2006, what are people going to buy, the old technology Xbox 360 or the new generation PS3? Might be not true but once the marketing people get there campaign underway that is what the majority of purchasers will think.

And the majority of purchasers aren't enthusiasts and gaming addicts, they are families and normal people who will fall for the marketing hype.

used XBC on my oldbox - not now though, coz I've got Live (it's free with the 360)

There's no point in downloading 360 games, as there's no chip for the it (yet) - plus with the Live aspect integrated into the very core of the 360, it's going to be very difficult to use a chipped 360.....

+ as Scoobynet's population greatly consist of IT/software developing people, a very dim view (read as FLAMING) is taken upon those who pirate/use illegal software!! Kinda hits a raw nerve

Unless you're a troll, it's a no-brainer that you respect what these people do, and keep quiet about any illegal activities.

Even if Sony do manage a Dec 06 lauch, MS are laying in wait with Halo 3 for the same launch day - its the most anticipated game currently being developed..........

Why would you bother waiting till it was possible to do so before buying the 360 then?

Because when that happens they will more than likely be reduced significantly in price.
