Scan has very good service in my experience. Generally you will receive an in-stock item within a week.

chances of buying in a shop? ^^

Next to nothing. Especially buying it at a half decent price.

Stick with the 360 imo.... Use the money to get a Gold subscription, You'll make loads of new friends reallllyyy fast, trust me...

Stupid Sony not giving Europe backwards combatibility... Jesus, all the Jap and US ones did ¬¬ Its like one chip or something they removed, and coz of that no games work on the 40gb ones, and most have probs on the 60gb one... GT4 being really badly affected

they've removed it for all of them now

Thats pathetic... And Stores still have PS3's in stock, Jack walked in and got one on saturday

I mean come on, Wii is backwards compatible (kinda) with like Sega games! xD and GC properly ffs! 360 can play XBox titles.... DS can go back to GBA games.... I mean come on Sony, what the frell are you playing at?!

The backwards compatability was buggy and it was deemed cheaper in the end for consumers to buy a ps2 aswell than for them to try and fix the platform change and pass the cost onto the customer. The Wii backwards compatability with GC is partially due to their anti-modchip system. "We have detected a modchip, I am now a GC LOL", and the 360 was just always fail cos microsoft couldnt pass on a working system straight away, I mean it's not that hard.

I'm amazed they don't just do it with firm/software. I mean, the PS3 is so much more powerful than the PS2 that it could easily emulate it.

They tried it but it kinda failed loads

Yeah, thats what they did, but the Ps2 games dont like the architecture of the PS3's core... so it kinda backfired LOADS...

They did build a PS2 into one PS3 version, not sure which one, though.

i would get a ps3 ive bought one and im addicted and dint no hellfire had one lol

I think HellFire, Goderer and Aaron (and you) are out PS3 owning residents here.

cool lol

ADD MEEE!!!!!! I think my addy is Hellfire_135 or Hellfire_123 Either way!! ADD ME

im sorry, but the ps3 is not worth the price from what i can see

After exploring the media features of our PS3 a bit more I can say that it definitely is worth the price tag. Casino Royale and Planet Earth look amazing on Blu-ray, also.

its a cheap blu ray player from what ive heard, but still, its a lot of money!

Of course, you need a HDTV lol.

i have a hdtv tyvm and obv, who doesnt know that?!?

i would get ps3 BUT the pad is dated and uncomfortable. Not as many exclusives that i want for it. I DONT have a HDTV, i already have a DVD palyer and i DONt want a home entertainment system jsut a games console

i think ash has made it v clear over the features that dont appeal to him

if i was looking for a home entertainemtn system then i would deffo get it. But the extra features i dont need make it not worth it if i can get a console that has same or similar graphical capabilites at a cheaper price, with a comfortable pad that wasnt designed in 1996

for me, the ps3 doesnt have enough games on it

mmmmm Jack been persuading me to get one showing me videos of Playstaion Home and omg taht does look AWESOME! but im sure microsoft will copy it in hte future XD
