The new playstation will blow it away when it comes out. There is always this debate everytime somthing comes out to challenge the playstation. But the playstation always come out on top, why do you think there are always ways around chipping them?

Only got mine up and running properly last night, and it's brilliant. Had no heat problems with the psu and mine was warm to the touch after 2hrs of crazy gaming on xbox live, and I had a right laugh.

Can't be bothered to get into the boring 360 vs PS3 debate. Our console is here now.

Thats right ...right here ..right now !
Yeah i've had no problems whatsoever, although KING KONG apparently does not work properly on the 360 , due to coloring problems.I am yet to try it out as im too busy playing Perfect dark zero !

The PS2 is a much inferior console to the Xbox in terms of tech. specs, but its personal preference at the end of the day from what you've used in the past, what mates have etc etc.

My original xbox ticks over fine with a nice 80GB HD slotted in :wink:

Xbox 360 is just a glorified gaming pc, it's got an awful launch line-up too and the power unit thing looks big enough to power a small country. I'll be getting a PS3 and a Revolution.

Same here. I think the new Metal Gear game launches with the PS3, which should be good. Also the seven (weird number) wireless controllers will be a nice touch for multiplayer gaming.

Metal Gear Solid 4 looks amazing, I'll definitely be getting a PS3 on launch day. 7 controllers? Couldn't they have made it 6 or 8, I hate odd numbers.

The games for the Xbox seem to be rediculously over priced too I think, most of them seem £49.99. Way too expencive IMO

£50 For a Video game is discusting !!!!................... and they wonder why there is so much piracy around

IIRC, Though SNES games (at the time when the SNES was the beast) where, if not just as expensive

Yes becuase the PS2 has to be around 4 years old now. When the PS3 comes out it will blow it away.

Gotcha. Yes you are right about that. But i think the XBOX was released after the PS2 as well wasn't it?

I think the PS2 did better becuase they can get chipped so easily. Games are easier to get too.

Very wrong there, Xboxs are ridiculously easy to chip + they have hard drive support up to 250GB.
