Joe Papasnap Maher Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 PRE ORDERED MINE EARLIER THIS EVENING, ALONG WITH MY BROTHER AND MATE, WHO ALSO AHVE PRE ORDERED. I went for the £279 option 360 is gonna f**king rule :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endofreak Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 I want the £280 version. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Yeah, the £210 option, whilst cheap, seems pretty rubbish in comparison. If it can do everything my chipped xbox1 can do, I might consider it, but I doubt it will be able to. I haven't really been following it, but doesn't it come with Windows Media Centre or something? Looks pretty cool, but I'll probably stick to my xbox which is awsomely ace anyway :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Garland Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 (edited) They are both roughly the same you wont notice that much difference to be honest. Fan boys will argue. The Cell of the PS3 only has 512kb L2 cache (I think) and with 9 cores using that its one hell of a bottleneck where as the xbox has 1MB and 3 cores using it which is alot better but still a bottleneck. So the 360 wins there. As for waiting for a PS3 its not coming out till 2006/07 at the moment. Sony have also admitted it might cost £500+ Edited August 18, 2005 by Team War Rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicH_87 Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Apparently its gonna be much more than just a console, its gonna be your entertainment hub, you can connect your PC, Phone, Camera, MP3 player etc... PS3 looks shite (as usual), its gonna come in one version only, and ONCE AGAIN you're going to have to buy add ons such as a HDD. It all depends on release titles for me really. Right now i'm not overly impressed, but if they bring it out with some serious software then i might be tempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or i might just wait till the PS3 comes out ! :P B) :) ← HHHEEEELLLLLL NO Sod the ps3, im gettin xbox 360. Dad will probs end up buying both though :-" ← This guy, please pay close attention to the bold writing :P the xbox 360 is better, for a start when they revealed the ps3 and xbox 360 they showed xbox 360 in game footage, and ps3 introduction footage of the games, and you could hardly tell them apart, and ive heard that sony said they have 7 processors in it, which is a blatent lie because it would melt the plastic of the damn case, lol :P or you would need the damn thing water cooled, and that would cost a hell of a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The XBox is only a 700MHz processor + 64MB RAM, and it still plays modern games fine. Consoles aren't the same as PCs in loads of ways - you can't compare. 7 cores clocked really low would be cool anyway, so it's a silly thing to say that it would melt the case. Just had a look at the spec and it looks pretty awsome. I would probably get one if I played games. Just imagine being able to plug the Xbox360 into your home network, and stream trials videos from your computer to your TV. That would be pretty cool, non? Well basically you can do that with a chipped Xbox. I suppose if it does that straight out of the box, it could be a very nice piece of kit, but there's nothing extra that it will be able to do for me :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caddis Posted August 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 I prefer the ps3 for its particular genre of games but the x-box 360 is like a pc with its many facilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smo™ Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 What's been the leading Games Console Battle for the last god knows how many years? PlayStation; it has a huge (and uncontested) variety of games blah, blah, blah. I could go on but the PS series has never failed to beat the market every time. I'll stick with Sony as they're so good at what they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly C Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 You get what you pay for. ← Yea and you usually end up paying for about 8 PS2's after they all break down B)" Most games are universal these days so it doesn't matter too much Microsoft is gaining a massive market share and developers are working on both units, Sony are loosing loyal people weekly Square-Enix has signed deals with M$ on the Final Fantasy games and the GTA games make there way over as fast as they can legally do so. The PS3 wont be coming out for ages, so all these waiting people will be left with dead and dusty PS2's way before a UK PS3 launch is confirmed. 13 days till PSP is launched here, I cant wait to deal with the hundreds of faulty units that'll be returned weekly :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS2's Explain? I work at Game we get soooo many returned with DRE's (Disk Read Errors) and other such things its not even funny, there was a massive case on watchdog etc Sony were found guilty of designing parts that would break after 2 or so years and had to change them etc. Sony are crap basically.
