Right i have £500 saved up for weeks now to preorder a ps3 but now after reading aload of threads on conroe im really tempted to use the £500 just to buy the cpu.
My systems a beast anyway so it still has some life in it and i can play games still at high to max settings at 1280x1024.
 
The Ps3 has all the best games like the final fantasy series, metal gear solid series, GTA, timesplitters, also a lot of new games. I think ill keep to the ps3 alright cheers for replies.
 
Ok after much thinking im still unsure on whether to get the xbox360 or ps3, but after finding out the wii can download snes classics like chrono trigger my mind is going everywhere.

Basically if i buy the xbox360 i probably will not use it to go online but just to play sp games but from what ive seen there aint many games out that look any good apart from perfect dark, fight night round 3 and burnout revenge.
But there is quite a lot of games that are coming out that i want like dead rising and 99 knights.

Do you need to be online to get the full enjoyment out the xbox360, does playing the games online really make a difference.
What would i need to go online, and whats the cost, also would i need to shell out on a router so i can have my pc and xbox360 connected at the same time.
 
Ive just worked out what i could get for £350:
xbox360 console-£279.99
xbox360 wireless controller-£29.99
perfect dark zero-£39.99
free P&P
£349.97
is that a good deal.

IMO if you get PDZ it will ruin your 360 experience. Get Graw or COD2. COD2 is possibly the best SP FPS game I have played in a long time. Really Really good. GRAW is a good SP game and a quality online experience. A few of us play together regularly on live. I have to say most people I play with come back for more.

You already have a wireless controler in the Premium package. The second would be for a friend I assume. Also a plug and play charge kit is a fairly good investment (and a second battery for the second controler)

You should also get live. at £40 per year it works out at £0.11 a day.

An Xbox without live is like lemonade without sugar.

The thing that a lot of people without live do not realise is that it is a completely intragrated system. You sign up once and choose your Identity. That identity is shared accross all of your games, unlike say the PC or PS2 system where you need to create your identity for each game. You have a friends list, which lets you know who is online and what they are doing. You can send them a game invite or (if you are playing the same game) you can join their game at the click of a button. Also with some games eg GRAW. you can have a guest sign in and play on live with you, split screen (they can also sign in using a seperate Live account).

cheers for the replys
i already own cod2 and graw for my pc, is PDZ really that bad i remember the n64 version being pretty cool :(
What other games would you recommend, im not into football games or racing games but i do like burnout revenge and fight night 3 which one is best online.

You can't say the PS3 has the "best" games, considering it's not out yet and we've no idea how good the games will be, nor how exclusive they'll be when they arrive.

i can say what i want, you dont have to have a ferrari to know that it beats the vauxhall astra :) ;)

Anway im really considering getting a xbox360 now ive decided to still get perfect dark zero. But i still got to buy a router what one off ocuk should i get, i was thinking of the Netgear DG834 router.

Anyway off to work i hope i got some nice post to read when i come back at 11:00 :)
