Get cables from newegg and you wont get ripped off. I got both of my HDMI cables from them for $8 each.
I wasn't saying that it's impossible to find anyone on XBL that isn't pants. I was saying that after paying for a gold membership for a few years you'll end up paying twice the cost of a ps3.
Wait?
Were you even responding to my comment or was I quoted by mistake? It seems like your responding to someone elses post.
I saw in HMV last Thursday an Accessories pack of HDMI cable, 4 way USB splitter (for the newer versions), Real Triggers (non slip attachments for the Sixaxis/Dualshock L2&R2 triggers and a Giotech Bluetooth Headset for £20.Goldeneye103X2 said:
Bargain.
I bought my friend Uncharted instead though because he already had the HDMI cable and he doesn't know how good the real triggers are yet.
I also own all three consoles (and many more) but I rarely play with the 360 or the Wii.
I hope I don't have to explain why I don't play with the Wii.
What holds me back from playing with my 360 more is the controller. I hate that stupid white thing. It's so uncomfortable.
I also like the PS3 controller but that is due to nostalgia. I grew up with that controller and I don't want something else (except it's the Gamecube controller).

My story goes pretty much exactly the same as yours, RROD, upgrade to Elite, buy PS3 a bit further down the track (Wii gathering dust until Mad World is released.)
But, the difference is that I made sure that my PS3 came with a HDMI cable. Most of the PS3 deals included 3 games and no HDMI cable, but I only wanted one of those games, so I found a retailer offering 1 game and a HDMI cable for around the same price.
I am much more impressed with the PS3 than I expected to be. The controller, although definately not as comfortable for long gaming sessions as the xbox360 controller, gives me a nice warm fuzzy nostalgic feeling, as it takes me back to my many hours with PS1 & PS2 controllers, but it does really need an update. I totally HATE the L2 & R2 buttons, they just seem to slope the wrong way...
Of course, it comes down to the games. For a couple of reasons, I'll probably still buy Xbox360 games over PS3 games.
Firstly, Xbox Achievement points. I don't think I'm an achievement whore by any means, but I do like getting them, and I like watching my Gamer Score increase. Having that number makes the process much more rewarding than those PS3 trophies.
Secondly, and not quite so importantly, is probably the fact that most Xbox360 games display at 1080p, while most of the PS3 games seem to only display at 720p. Not really that big of a deal, but I will use the highest resolution I have available to me.. why wouldn't I?

I suppose I can't say much, given that I don't have nor have I played the PS3, but since Sony seems to be with the, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," school of consol-ing (as per Atari, except that they actually broke something that wasn't broken ala 5200) and I have played PS2, I can say this:
Aside from Little Big Planet, none of the PS exclusives are really all that appealing to me. Most of them are samey FPS's and the ones that aren't are God of War (as far as I know), none of which look escpecially entertaining. The other games that were previously PS exclusives (e.g., Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy, Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, etc.) are either coming to 360 or dying. Not to mention the fact that if you actually look at the 360 and PS3 controllers, the only differences are that the 360 controllers have the left analogue stick switched with the D-Pad and that the 360 controller has no edges.
Basically, the point is that neither one is inherently superior to the other. Each has its good qualities and its bad as gaming consoles (random attatchments notwithstanding) and both are basically the same.
So what if the PS3 has free internet? The 360 has more games =P
. . . I guess I could say much after all ^^;

I always put it down as a clever idea. When you get pissed off that your controller is a steering wheel and throw it out the window, you don't loose it.Catkid906 said:Hmm, I wouldn't say the PS3 controller is that bad. I mean imagine if they stuck with the boomerang idea?
Nah, I prefer the classic one thanks.
No, I think I quoted correctly. I know someone else posted the WalMart thing. So far from what I have seen of PSN, I like XBL better, but I should give it some more time before I make that call.GonzoGamer said:
I will say this, LBP is fun on a bun. I've just started playing around with level creating.
My little brother just got a 360(only the very basic one) last month and that thing has some demons that need exorcizing. It freezes up from time to time and every once and a while doesn?t want to spin the disk and can only be made to play after a lot of coaxing and reassurance (one time almost a full 15 min worth). I feel bad for him because he did officially go over to the dark side and was totally happy because he could play x-box live with his friends (he paid for the year subscription in advance) and now he has to take the damn system back. In addition I secretly hate the way the menu changed after he started x-box live and I don?t know if there is a way to change it back.
For some reason I prefer the ps2 controller but maybe because I have played the ps2 religiously for so many years (7 and counting). I almost hate to admit it but my fav controller, and definitely the one that I think was best for shooters, was the N64. If you could set it up and competently use the c buttons for movement it was the shit.
I love that line and totally agree, I am not quite sure I feel comfortable with either in my hand but would take the PS3 controller over 360s, especially around a group of friends, lol.GonzoGamer said:

I agree with the OP about the HD cables but regularily switch from PS3 to 360 controller without noticing - and I have hands like coal skuttles.
I have a problem with the way PS3 hides it's goodies in the shop and the fact that it's just a really fucking ugly piece of hardware.
However, a console is nothing without it's software...
I have 22 Xbox360 games, 4 PS3 games and 9 Wii games.
Every game I want seems to perform better on the 360 (I use Eurogamers brilliant 360/PS3 face off articles as reference). Additionally there's the DLC issue for which the 360 seems to be better supported.
The Wii on the other hand has a bunch of games that try to do things differently - and I'm not talking about motion sensing - it has games that HAVE to rely on gameplay because the Wii's processor is a touch creeky and as a result there is some great software out there if you're willing to find it.
When I read about upcoming efforts it's usually the Wii titles that catch my eye.
They don't always turn out well (SPRay and Monster Lab being too recent disappointments) but the concepts are usually far more interesting than the raft of grey shooters, tired RPG's and transparent gore peddling that seems to be the staple output for the HD machines.
Of course the most worrying thing is that all the best games for all three machines are the digitally distributed ones - but that's another issue.

Hahah, that's funny and stupid at the same time.MaxTheReaper said:
Seriously, who ever prefers the PS3's controller over the Xbox 360's, is someone I will not trust, because he/she is probably somewhere near 10 years old.
It's tiny, so lightweight it doesn't feel very sturdy, and has a shape that much less fits in the hand than the Xbox 360's controller.
Those Maddox guys probably haven't seen daylight for many, many years, and we all know that that means that they're hands are weak.
And no, the cat will be perfectly fine. Except for maybe a little astonishment, but that happens with the Dual Shock/Six Axis also.
EDIT: I'd like to see those Maddox guys have bigger balls than the PS3's controller....on second thought, no, I would not, but I'd still like some proof.
I understand this is sarcasm, but who in their right mind would put those as negative aspects to a controller?
It's not that big (unless they've played with the Playstations' controllers their whole life), and to me, the heaviness is a plus.

SECOND EDIT: Seriously people, take a day off kindergarten, go on the internet, and look for what a "wall of text" means.
No, it's not cool to just say "wall of text" about every text someone types on the internet.
yes i spent 10 on mine why the hell did you spend 80 on a HDMI ?Eggo said:
oh and about that controller thing
relax i've owned both consoles for a while now and so have some of my friends
and we all agree that it makes no differance on the controller on how you experiance the game
although
Sony REALLY should update thier controller
I think you might be talking about the old Xbox's original controller. It was massive and I love it.MaxTheReaper said:
However the Xbox 360 controller is without a doubt the best controller than the others available. It is much more comfortable and easy to use than the PS3's official controller. The only problem with the 360 is the D-pad which is particularly bad, fortunately it's rarely used.
I don't see how anyone can like the PS3 controller over the 360 one. It is way to light to be comfortable, it's too small, the analogue stick are terrible; why do Sony continue to fail to recognise that thumb sticks should be concave, not convex! And the horrible spongy triggers on the controller are just a mess.
