'X-Box 360' or 'The Ps3'

Colonel · 14-06-2005, 14:06

Which one will you be buying?

1. X-Box 360
2. PS3
3. Don't really care

steev · 14-06-2005, 14:12

None, both seem to be based on increasingly PC-esque (apart from the admittedly rather funky multi-core PPC processors) platforms, PS3 HD version will even be running Linux!

Therefore I'll just stick with PCs

spyro2000 · 14-06-2005, 14:13

Same as Steev, probably none also. I also will stick with my PC

If I do end up getting a console (which I doubt) I will probably end up getting Nintendos new one, which will surely be inexpensive.

steev · 14-06-2005, 14:16

Actually, there IS one console I'd consider, I'm sorely tempted by the PSP since they ported a MAME emulator...

nick2 · 14-06-2005, 14:52

If the games that come out are good then I'll buy a new console, I'm not buying one just for the sake of having something new.

Bedhead · 14-06-2005, 16:14

none. i'll stick with me fab pc system

ANGELUS · 15-06-2005, 11:20

PS3 for me... oh yes!
Its gonna be good.

And the best bit is.. its twice as powerful as the new xbox.
Hahaha

Lestat · 15-06-2005, 11:31

Probably go for the PS3, but my PS2 is great as it is - plenty of great games and plays DVD anyway. I use my PC for everything else.

that all depends on what you're measuring, and is basically a pointless figure.
Wait and see what the games are like, that's the only way to make a fair comparison.

I'll probably be waiting to see, although the xbox comes out 6 months earlier!

ANGELUS · 15-06-2005, 11:37

I've seen a couple of photos in the Metro paper and they look awesome, almost real life for the PS3.

As long as you can put a new HD into it and it does everything I want it to do... then I'll be getting it the first day it comes out!!

*Ryan* · 15-06-2005, 11:37

if ps3 does anything more special than ps2 i may go 4 it, only in an exceptional cirumstance though

niko007 · 15-06-2005, 12:06

both of course !

Abdul · 15-06-2005, 14:41

I'm still happy with my PS2 and GTA Vice City.

Of course, by Christmas 2008, I will have finally have beaten GTA San Andreas, and the PS3 price will have dropped to £100.

I'll buy one then.

I rather like the look of the Nintendo Revolution

I must admit the thing of being able to DL old games on the Revolution does interest me somewhat.. Just a shame it's only Nintendo inhouse games afaik, I'd want to DL WWE No Mercy and the THQ WCW games from N64.

No Mercy was class! Best wrestling game ever!

Regarding specs (and without wishing to upset angelus yet again), please bear in mind that Sony told fibs about the original Playstation, AND the PS2.
A lot of what the PS3 has "twice of" is utterly pointless.

But Sony has its army of fanboys who would buy used bog roll if it had a Playstation sticker on it...

Beakerzoid · 29-09-2005, 21:34

As does every console. Let's not get into all that again!

Wasn't this all covered way back in this thread => http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/show...threadid=57608

Trever · 30-09-2005, 23:36

Sony can't make lasers that last longer then 6 month

Beakerzoid · 01-10-2005, 00:13

Aside from the ones in my PS1 and PS2 which still work fine (and both are first edition consoles)

I must be special for them to treat me to the only working lasers.
