360 or PS3?

i've thrown my hat in the 360's corner, not to say i'll never get a ps3, just i dont think i can justify the inital outlay, and the 360 is a more than capable foil for the ps3. it's very powerful and seemingly more 'modular', which has allowed me to buy the core system, and gradually add components i want as the finances become available. as otherwise, due to my current financial constraints, i would have had no chance of owning a next gen system at all this year.

lol go team 360 etc etc

saying this, i did initially back the dreamcast as well, which didnt turn out so well... but i doubt lack of funding is ever going to be an issue with the 360.

Goldeneye is one of the greatest games ever

Just done some research in a shop.

PS3 writes information to the hard disk on all online games, and you can't trade them in for use on another machine or use them on a friend's. No matter how good a game is you'll always get bored of it and want to trade some in?

That's shocking.

This happens on the 360 on one game only which is a 'pure online rpg' and requires a subscription.

what do you mean once a game has been used on your machine it con't be use on any other playstation?


I don't think that right, there isn't any posible way to achieve this. The discs are rom.

thats what i heard yesterday, Im gettin a 360 and top notch pc. I cant see sony keeping its reputation with the games etc bein so expensive to start with

Here is a decent review of the ps3

And mario 64 was the most impressive console launch title ive ever seen.

Playstation had tekken... mario 64 was perfection.

64 also had perfect dark, and some other good games. but i never owned one myself

mario 64 was mint like, so was mario kart, and zelda ocarina of time

banjo kazooie was also class, the 64 had some class games but the ps had a better library.

nintendos were always better for multiplayer games

How did i miss zelda, the best thing since sliced bread
