You are right here, even when microsoft release the external bluray player for the xbox. I dont think it will ever move on to developing games on bluray for the xbox, I think it will only ever carry on to make them on a normal dvd. I could be wrong they may be able to develope a cable which can handle transfer rates between and external bluray device to the console and games be moved over.

spec for spec the ps3 packs more power than the xbox when it comes to processing, but thats because the ps3 got about a year and half headstart on the 360.
|
In some aspects it does you are correct. But PS3 cant deal with AA etc which currently make some games (well most tbh) look quiet **** as AA was one of the revolutionary thing in HD gaming.

the ps3 has built in wifi (£60 add on, on the 360), ps3 has bluetooth for connecting headsets and accessories so it will work with a bluetooth mobile phone headset, whereas on the xbox you have use microsofts headset which is cack, and the wireless one for 360 is again an extra.

Never knew that about the PS3 thats cool, but I hate wifi, old school for me. The bluetooth head set thing is kinda cool for the PS3, and also being able to use your mobile phone with it is a great feature for the PS3.
You do not need to use a microsoft headset for xbox!!! I do not find my xbox wireless head set cack, I find it really good quality and the back ground noise reduction on it is very noticable. Any way back to the not needing to use a micrisoft headset.... You can buy an adapter to plug in the control and then use any headset you want... Or you can buy other headphones not made by microsoft (turtle ones, not open ear but 5:1 surround sound and inbuild voice and mic)

also on 360 online gaming is obtained via a subscription, but is free on the ps3. however, xbox live is in my opinion, considerably better than the ps-network that currently exists on ps3.
|
You are right it is obtained via a subsciption. I am happy to pay for the service. As it is alot easier to use(user friendly) and seems to work better than the PS3. Also I like achievements. Ok you get achievement whores on xbox but its always good when you got an achievement others cant get.
Also the future of PC gaming on Vista is going the same way as live. Some games (IE shadowrun on vista only) you want to play online... You need a Live subcription. You already have a xbox sub you can use this. Obviously this only effects pc gamers really.
But the future release of certain PS3 games are planning on charging a monthly sub for them (unless they scrapped this) kinda like an mmo fee.

thats basically most of the 'modern' stuff compared, i guess you can go in to controllers and stuff like that as well. really, just play both for a bit and get a feel before you buy, they both seem really different when you play them

I am extreamly impressed with my PS3 I really am. However in my eyes the xbox pips it. I am really looking forward to MGS for the PS3 this will show how far the PS3 has come imo
