Xbox 360 vs PS3

[MasterBlaster76]

Not a very functional feature though. If you can get over designs and other pointless aesthetics features it will save you money in the long run.

XBOX must make so much money with these gimmicks.

No, but you know what kids are like.

Of course, it also comes with a good headset and two wireless controllers. Bit concerned about this idea of having to buy new batteries every thirty hours. What's this:

Official Xbox 360 Play and Charge Kit - Black - Xbox 360 - GAME.co.uk

From what I can see, it negates the need for batteries completely?

Though it does negate the need to have batteries you always gotta' have it plugged in. If you don't have the cable plugged from your controller to your 360 with the rechargeable battery in then you can't play. Bought one myself. I honestly don't mind the battery changing issue anyway since I got like a million Duracell batteries from overseas.

Guys, do you really need 250GB or is 120GB more than enough (PS3)?

The guys who download content (games, demos, movies etc.) from PSN need the space.

What: you can't play unless your pad's connected up to the machine? Surely once it's charged, that's it until the next charge time?

He's talking out of his arse, I've got one of those, you basically charge it up (you can leave the Xbox on low level where its basically turned off, but just a little on so the pads still charge, and then the xbox shuts down once its fully charged) and then you can play wireless.

My opinion? Get two rechargeable battery packs and purchase this;

Its not on Games website but you can pick them up instore. Plugs into the mains, and you plug the controllers into it, whilst they charge the plastic glows red, when charged, they glow green. Simples.

Is mine defective or something then? I can't play without the cable being plugged in. Without the cable plugged in I'm holding the 'XBOX' logo and nothings happening. Only with the cable in it works. The batteries fully charged and everything.

How much would two rechargeable battery packs + one of those cost? The adapter I linked to is only ?15...

Also, would there be a way to get one of the wireless pads to work on the PC, so we can finally play each other at Ashes Cricket 2009?

So Uncharted 2 is really tilting the scales for PS3.

What is that? I might have to check it out, everyone on my PSN list is playing it majority of the time.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One of the most fun games I've ever played. Incredibly addictive. People compare it to the Tomb Raider series but I found those games slightly annoying whereas I massively enjoyed this one. I wouldn't give it the perfect scores its been getting but its insane fun. The combat is awesome, hand to hand as well as with all kind of weapons. You can download a really awesome demo which is basically a multi player mode.

 

[pcfan123]

Cheers bud, I might check it out but tomb raider was one of my least favorite video game series.

Still waiting on Batman to get cheap!

 

[nightprowler10]

Gamefly is your best friend! I rented the Batman game and now Uncharted 2. Only one I've bought full price in the last year or so is NBA 2K10, which is totally worth it.

 

[Sureshot]

Ditto on Uncharted 2. It is excellent fun, the hand to hand battles are excellent. Very good game.

The first half is incredible. The second half dropped off a bit for me but the urban Nepal battle was immense. Now if I can only beat the final boss...
