GazM

Must you go into every thread regarding a PS3 and continue your childish tirade against it?

I'd recommend this one from GAME, use this one on mine and works excellently.

Howl ong is it?

esmufc07

Long enough, couple of metres I'd say, but I'm useless at guessing stuff like that.

pert

Can you measure it plz

esmufc07

I can't be arsed to go under my pillow to find the ruler.

Seems a few people on here have ps3's... anyone getting Haze?

esmufc07

Yup, going to be trading in GTAIV and getting it, very impressed with the demo.

Slevin

Same, ran through it many times already The co-op online is also good too \o/

IBleedRed

Yeah lets all go buy 360s and pay for online game play for the rest of our lives
(not to mention shitty controllers weaker graphics and no blu ray player)

sounds genius

GAngel

360 controller is way better any gamer will tell you that.
ps3 online = shit on a stick
how many people actually watch blu ray movies?

I've had both since launch. 360 still wins most every battle.

esmufc07

Every console thread disintegrates into one of these.

Boring.

1) used both playstation has the best design for a controller to by far

2) bollocks have fun playing halo against a bunch of frat retards

3) More everyday

Just a quick point on HDMI cables to save you all some money.

Do't bother with the ones that have 'gold' contacts and all that rubbish.

HDMI cables pass digital information, not analogue. Gold contacts and other expensive enhancements will make absolutely no bloody difference, so don't spend more than a tenner on a cable.

esmufc07

Funny you mention that, when I was in Currys the salesguy was trying to sell me one for £60!! Saying the gold-plated cable help to keep the picture better and that there is a noticeable difference.

I kindly said no.

Slevin

What he said...


Also about the fanboys bit here...
1) Depends on your preference, long time PS players will highly likely prefer the ps pad, xboxers prefer xbox pad... simple as that.

2) PS3 online, yeah, it's not that great atm, but they're still developing that home thing, which should improve things. I've personally had no problems with the online bit of ps3, maye a bit peeved you can't invite friends etc. But isn't that to do with the games companies and not Sony?

3) Blu-Ray is the next DVD dude... how many peoples now watch DVD's? Point proven.

GazM

I think i'll head into game tomorrow and buy the one esmufc07 showed needs to be at least 2 metres though

thanks for the help lads

1) not really, ps3 controllers feel really light and cheap. Horrible feel to them. What is bad about the Xbox controllers.

2)PS3 online will never be as good, and if it ever is they will start to charge for it.

3) i watch dvd's all the time. Blu-ray is unnecessary in the video market in my opinion. Dvd's have high enough definition. How ever there is a place for Blu-ray, in the games market.

I like to think I'm now a parody of myself.

1) In your opinion.. Obviously you haven't clicked the DS3 is coming out over here soon, heavier and has rumble in again, not light or cheap. I find the xbox controls too large and dislike the rounded button things, dig into fingers after a while (A B X Y). But it's just my personal choice as I have used the ps3 control for years... I see the argument for the stick position though... although I can also get away with the ps ones anyway as the control is small enough to get my finger to the sticks with ease.

2) Probably not, MS seems to have done it really well.. but then again MS has been dealing with this stuff for years so has an advantage. I am happy with the free service PS are providing, and as it's not that great atm... I only imagine it getting better. I highly doubt they will ever charge to use it.. as I've read they'll charge for other things in PS home which aren't vital, but just for fun.

3) This just shows fanboy-ism all over. If HD DVD had won the format war... you'd be banging on how amazing the 360 is because they can play HD DVD...
There is a huge difference in quality... play a game through a normal cable, then a HDMI cable... see the difference in the game? That's sorta like the difference between DVD and Blu-Ray. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it... Blu-Ray is the next DVD... Stop kidding yourself now.
