Looking at getting a PS 3 and have been told that you can put lap top hard drives into them is this true? If so that means you can put eg: 320 gb hard drive in for $120 - $150. It also has a free on line gaming - so what is wrong with the online gaming service? Overall what is wrong with the PS 3? It should be kicking XBOX's arse when you compare features |

Don't do it. The games are shit, and the controller sucks fucks it fucking sucks and it fucking blows. Free online gaming is good and all but id rather pay for live than deal with the PSN. The on switch is sexy though.

Yes, you can swap the hard drive out for a laptop one. It's pretty easy to do. With PSN, you get what you pay for. Nothing is as unified across the network, though it's taken a big step with adding the in game XMB so you can access your friends list. It has become quite usable, but the lack of standards means you really don't get the same overall "gel" that you get out of Live. Though sometimes it's really good that not many actually have a mic... I really don't want to completely rag on the PS3, because it's by no means a horrible machine. Hardware specs when compared to the 360 though are redundant when take into account the amount of quality exclusives, the IMO far superior 360 dash, and the overall price. How much is that PS3 with a new hard drive gonna set you back? That there is the biggest reason why it's not kicking as much arse. $100 local for a dual shock!?!? $45 for a Blu Ray movie??? The PS3 is good hardware with patchy software greatly let down by a lack of standards. It has a few gems that I really like to play, but if I could only have one console this generation, it wouldn't be it. I am glad I have one though. |

So true! Who HASN'T looked at those buttons for a minute or two when you first opened it and wondered how the hell they work? |

i figured those buttons straight away, what took me a while to realise is that the ps3 has the master on switch on the back of the console... |

I haven't even played online on my PS3 but it wouldn't compare to live. It is worth getting the PS3 if you want the exclusives on it and a blu-ray player. If I had to choose between my 360 and PS3 I really don't know what I would choose. PS3 - best single player exclusive games, 360 - best for multi. If you like strategies or RPGs you have to buy a PS3 just for Valkyria Chronicles. Which buttons are sexy anyway? I have no idea which ones everyone is talking about.

I enjoy my RPG's but it been a long time since i have found one that i can really enjoy. I am hoping (when i buy) fallout 3 it can live up to my expectations. |

The console with the best multiplayer will always be the console that all your friends have. |
