Demos of R&C and Uncharted left me cold, GT5p is - in my opinion - tedious right now and you've alluded to the fact that Heavenly Sword is a massive disappointment, so I'm not dropping any cash on any of those when I have COD4 on the 360 and GTA4 coming up. Maybe you can kind of see why I was hoping that MGS4 and MGO would justify the spend?

@ Aloominum_man:

Try Super Stardust HD - it's pretty damn sweet and well worth the £5-8 quid they ask for it. I also bought a 60Gb PS3 last year so I wouldn't be stuck with the non-BC one and I have to say that I've been a bit disappointed with the PSN so far. The EU store seems to be the US's poorer cousin when it comes to updates, Sony weren't able to get GT5:P out on time and now this MGO beta fiasco...

It's not all bad though- Wipeout HD is on the horizon, it's a free service (so I probably shouldn't complain about it too much) and I have to admit that the new look of the store is quite snazzy :P

Great. A thread full of Xbots claiming to own a PS3 "that never gets used".. ZzZzzZzz..

No wait, now it's "my PS3 owning friends" for one of them. Woo. The exhilaration of a fresh lie!

gotta say my 360 is actually so loud it's started to pt me off using it. it's like having a hairdryer on and very distracting even when playing.

maybe I should try standing it upright, or just buy an elite - my 360 is 2 years old and I swear it's getting louder!!

* also must stay it's really any quieter when just in the dashboard, which does make me think it's a bit f**cked

Just in case you actually care to listen, I do own a ps3. I can't be bothered to say more than that to you.

@monty2k

Thanks for the recommendation - you've just reminded me that I do actually already own it... I genuinely wish that there was more motivation for me to switch the ps3 on, as I love games and don't care where or how I play them. It just pisses me off to see misguided brand loyalty keeping an underperforming and disappointing platform propped up. That's not aimed at you though, and I really hope that things can pick up for the ps3. It gets used a little more than the wii though I suppose. I am looking forward to wipeout hd though, oddly because of the custom soundtrack / music visualiser aspect...

Tiny bit of noise vs. vastly superior gaming experience in every genre. Yes, I'll stick with my 360 games machine thanks, you can stuff your media hub.

I shall be very clear concerning my feelings about this:

The person who came up with this entire Konami ID and Game ID thing is a complete IDIOT. They should be fired.

The person at Sony who let Konami do this LUNACY should immediately be fired as well.

The only reason I can see for this is Konami realised their servers wouldn't be able to handle the load and decided to make it as SILLY and OBNOXIOUS as possible to participate in the beta, so less people would bother.

Even there they were wrong, seeing the DEBACLE that ensued. I hope single player MGS4 is worth it, because I won't touch its multiplayer with a 3-metre-Pole after this thing they made me go through.

@ Aloominum_man:

No worries mate. I also own a wii and a 360 and while I probably play on the 360 the most, they all get love from me ;)

I have to admit though that part of me hopes that Sony does get a drubbing in this generation so that they might try something new and innovative for the next generation - like nintendo did after the gamecube.

"it's not 'vastly' for most people, it's only vastly if you like Halo"

Nope, Halo is a very small part of it.

@ vanmunt. I own a hotpoint and a zanussi, and i find the hotpoint does colours alot better, so the noise doesnt matter. I also own a waashboard, which doesnt do the colours or higher quality clothes as well, but is more interactive and brings the family together at wash time

Just checked hotpointfanboy.com and if you set your cycle to delicates, it does run alot quieter!

I've got an LG direct drive washing machine and, yes, it costs alot more than your bog standard one, it runs nearly silently! With the only noise being water intake and slooshing!

Sadly it doesn't do any media streaming but its still the nuts.
