Hmmm, how much is wrong with those comments.

The PS3 does not have the best games (my favourite games include Crackdown and Fable 2) and unless you only just bought one does not run whisper quiet (though granted, not quite as loud as my 360 but still the fan goes nuts once half way through a movie) and no it doesn't have the RROD, it has the yellow light of death instead which is an identical problem to what causes the RROD.

The only good thing about 24p is that these 120Hz TVs happily convert it to 48fps. How they then update the screen smoothly I do not know, nor care, but it looks infinitely more pleasant than 24fps. I hate going to the cinema now, its juddery, blurry and too dull. I really do not understand cinema purists as in my opinion, modern HDTVs are far superior, much more comfortable on the eyes.

Sure, there are artifacts as inventing none-existent frames can never be perfect, but at 24fps there is such drastic differences from one frame to the next that I feel dizzy and you can't make out the detail in the scene anyway (this is at the cinema as well as HDTV). The higher the frame-rate, the smoother the transition, the more detail you can perceive. There is even talk of Hollywood adopting 48fps as soon as its cost effective to do so. People forget, 24fps only exists because it was the worst frame-rate they could get away with, it was about money, the cost of film, how quickly the camera can expose the film, it was NEVER about being the best frame-rate for human viewing. Just like how MP3 is "good enough" for most people, its not ideal by any means, as is 24fps.

All these people who say the PSN store is better, what planet are you on?

Is it easy to find a list of PS3 demos only, NOPE.

Is it easy to identify a title at a glance, only if you recognise the thumbnail. So to me that's a big NO again. Why would I recognise the art of a game I haven't played yet?

Is it quick to download, HELL NO. I was flabbergasted at how many menus it takes to just download something from PSN store and after all that, you STILL have to install it once its done. It takes a LOT longer than on Live.

Just downloading Lemmings was a trauma. I bought it, downloaded and was puzzled that it wasn't in the list. I then saw the filesize and thought "hand on, the trial is much bigger, maybe I need that first" so I download that and behold that did the trick. But it STILL displays Trial Version even thought its the full version. How is that clearer than how the 360 works? Its not.

Also, the PS3 menu system is great initially but once you have a few files on your PS3 its unmanageable. Why cant I put my videos in directories? They have some cheek slagging off Live when their UI and marketplace has even LESS categories so its harder to find stuff. With my 1080p TV in for repair its even worse, the icons are too small on a 32" at 720p.

So to all of you saying Microsoft could learn from Sony, what drugs are you on? At first I agreed but having USED the PS3 for a few weeks I have already found it cumbersome whereas the 360 is so much easier to use.
At least on 360 I can list ONLY Arcade games, or ONLY demos whereas on PS3 its just one looooooong list so finding anything takes careful browsing. If I ever have as much stuff on PS3 as I have on my 360 it will be painful.
For a start, by comparison the Playstation Store has very little on it.

Sony, you can laugh at de-listing once you have even close to as much content as Microsoft. You are only making yourselves look foolish right now. I don't see you with 100+ downloadable full-games, I was really disappointed when I signed up for PSN and found how little was on offer as I truely thought your store WAS better than Live, until I experienced it for myself.

This system is pure crap, seriously.

I mean the Eyetoy worked brilliant .... in carefully controlled conditions. In my house however its next to useless as it picks up reflections off all the furniture and I do not have a big enough house to create an "Eyetoy safe room".

So yeah, in theory all these things can be done. But the REASON why it has to be done with silly glasses/headware is to make it work in ANY house regardless of what junk might otherwise confuse a camera.

About region coding. True, most people do not know what it is. However people adopting HD formats right now are MORE likely to know, because its mostly techno geeks that MUST have their movies in HD NOW.

The kind of people who haven't a clue about region coding are also not going to know the difference between a HD-DVD and a Blu-ray so have more serious matters to think about. In fact, a lot of those people will avoid HD entirely because they wont even perceive an improvement in the picture quality.

Theres a certain kind of person adopting HD right now, its the kind that likely DO know about region coding unless they got ended up with a Blu-ray player purely from buying a PS3. Its one reason why Sony promote ignorance too, by giving people a product they do not really understand.

Ok, anyone saying the ghosting on the PSP is "barely noticable" is blind.

I have owned a PSP for a long LONG time and the ghosting is my biggest complaint, other than the thing being uncomfortable.

Its NOT only really noticable in movies (although it makes UMD Movies unwatchable in my opinion, fast panning shots are just a huge blur and made me dizzy) I in fact noticed it right away on Ridge Racer, every time you turn there's a great big brown poo coloured ghost of the track and car. Its noticable in EVERY SINGLE THING YOU DO ON THE PSP! This is coming from someone who has owned a PSP since before they were out over here in the UK.

The PSP is useless for video playback because of that single flaw, its annoying for gaming due to cramping my hands and the ghosting as well. The ghosting alone in games I can ignore, the sheer uncomfortable shape of the PSP trying to use the analog and the L and R buttons at the same time, I cannot.

Out of memory errors in the web browser? Thats totally unforgivable now the new PSP has 64MB. Thats more than the Wii has and I have never ONCE seen Opera on Wii run out of memory, it runs million times better than the PSP browser. Even my PDA while being slow and not supporting FLASH, it doesn't run out of memory running Opera either and it scales the web pages down to 320x240 far far better than the PSP scales down to 480x272. Sony chose a crap web browser I'm afraid.

The PSP has obvious flaws to anyone who isnt sucking up to Sony. They also seemed to reduce the WiFi reception range during one of the firmware updates and its been poor ever since. I used to be able to browse the web with 20% signal, now I need 50% to stand a chance of it working. So yes, the PSP has issues, BIG issues. Issues that caused me to stop using it regularly as I couldn't get WiFi reception anymore once they reduced its range.

Hot? I never found mine particularly hot (to the touch) compared to any other electrical appliance.

The whole reason for the overheating is because the heat ISNT reaching the outer casing, its getting stuck under the DVD-ROM drive. They needed to have made it a touch wider, would likely have made a fair difference in airflow and GPU heatsink size.

Overall though, it seems to shift a lot more air since the last dashboard update. The fans spend longer at high-speed. Its also worth keeping the console on a little longer after you finished gaming, so the GPU has time to cool down before the fans are turned off. The play and charge kit is good for that as the fans keep running until the battery has been fully charged.

Also to the person saying you expect stuff to work at 100% humidity - how stupid are you? Just because you have been lucky and other stuff hasn't broken, you are STILL running them well out of spec. Get air conditioning/dehumidifers for crying out loud. Its never very humid around here, has been this year and I now have aircon, and my March 2006 360 is still going strong. Running in a humid environment is WELL out of spec, just as people who have their house heating set to 30C. Try to keep the room around 20-25C and as little humidity as possible, thats worked so far for me.

Xbox 360 upscales DVDs better than PowerDVD on the PC does (but only via VGA). I use it all the time to watch Region 2, id use it as my only DVD player if I didnt have some Region 1s that I have to play on a different unit due to region protection.

I also know PLENTY of people who never played CDs until Playstation and never played DVDs until PS2, so I do not believe a word of this article.

No the PS3 will not be almost the same price as the Elite because the only reason Microsoft havent dropped their price is it was ALREADY a lot cheaper than PS3. Once PS3 price drops (for good) the 360 will drop accordingly. Its only logical sense, no point dropping the price while its a good deal but they will HAVE to drop it once the gap in price is closer.

Gamble20, of course you aren't sorry for creating a war. If you didn't want to create a war you wouldn't have posted such a load of crap.

Gears of War is a MICROSOFT game, they OWN it so it can NEVER go multi-platform without their permission which basically means PC.

Metal Gear Solid is NOT owned by Sony, so it CAN go multi-platform. In fact a PC version of Metal Gear Solid has even been published by Microsoft in the past so the relationship is already there.

So yes, it CAN happen, not saying it will though. I mean who thought Sony would let go of GTA? Who thought Devil May Cry 4 would come to 360?
