new telly and ps3 debate
i have just got a nice shiny new lg, it will be on my wall tomorrow and i can't decide wether the ps3 is worth the mulah.
anyone got one and know of its worthyness?
i'v found one on kelkoo for 300 and its a 40gb, apparently you can't play all games on the 40gb one.
i want to play pro evo, tiger woods and virtua tennis as all these fantasy swordy loony tune cartoon games freak me out. is the 40gb sufficient?

Re: new telly and ps3 debate
I don't think the 40gb model has backward compatibility with PS1/PS2, but Tiger Woods 08 and Virtua Tennis are meant to be good on PS3. I heart my PS3.

The 40gb has less expansion ports, 2 usb ports instead of 4 and no memory card slots (60gb has slots for micro SD and memory stick pro). I think that's it though. If you're really into your games you could do worse than the PS3. It doesn't have the library of the 360 but there are some better games coming out now, e.g Sega Rally and Warhawk.

Re: new telly and ps3 debate
I got an email from Game saying they were doing a mega deal on PS3s - £349 for the bigger memory one plus other goodies. May be worth checking out.

Re: new telly and ps3 debate
Hotukdeals are currently touting a way to get a 60GB with Pro Evo + other games for £260 I believe.

Stick with the 360. PS3 sucks.

If I stuck with the 360 I'd be staring at a blank screen and three red lights on the console.
Buggiest, most unreliable, noisy, underwhelming piece of shite I ever bought.
Loving the PS3 that replaced it. Two best deals I've seen so far are 60gb unit, free controller, 2 games for £350 from Virgin or 60gb, Fifa 08 or Tiger Woods 08, plus two games, an extra controller and HDMI cable for £370 from Amazon.

Overpriced, no Halo3, no killer games, Gran Turismo 15... I could go on.
The red ring problem is now sorted. I've never had a problem with mine in 12 months of owning it.

Plus two games? What games are they? I didn't think it had any.

Re: new telly and ps3 debate
How old are you lot? My console's better than yours. I have an xbox 360 and wouldn't buy a PS3 because the variation in software isn't that much. If you the PS3 exclusives like MGS4 then you'd buy that and vice versa, if you want Halo 3 then the xbox would be the choice. Both are almost identical anyway. Variation is the Wii. Love Nintendo.
I can't believe I gave a semi-serious answer on a robbief thread.

Re: new telly and ps3 debate
I'm not a massive games head, but have always had Playstations. I'm now in two minds about whether to buy the PS3 or a Wii. In favour of the PS3 is its specs and forthcoming potential for brilliant games, but set against that is its piss-take of a price. The Wii is much cheaper and would be good for the kids this Christmas. Then again, I might get both - the Wii for Christmas for the kids and the PS3 when the price is lower again and the games are better. As I said, I'm not a games freak so I can afford to wait until a new Tomb Raider (my favourite) comes out on it.
