yeah i got one just before Christmas - so that mean they have sold 100 now then?
I should think the upcoming release of God of War 3 would help. I'll certianly be buying one for that game.
Don't the Sony figures NOT include Q4 2009 so they're actually higher than stated? Microsofts figures DO include this period so the gap should be smaller by now.
How many units did the 360 sell before the PS3 was released? There can't be much of a realistic difference anymore.
And how many people have more than one 360 due to being banned from XBL or RROD?
Also Gran Turismo 5 if it ever comes out.Quote:

Xbox Live is pretty tempting enough if you ask me. Microsoft completely own Sony in that area.Quote:

I think the game quality on the PS3 is better (Uncharted, R&C). Not to say there aren't a few gooduns on the 360 (GoW, Forza, Mass Effect). PSN vs Live? Depends what you want. Free? PS3. 2nd life Home? PS3. Back catalogue of 80s era arcade games? Live.
I also find the 360 menus confusing at times. The Sony XMB is far easier to understand IMO.
anyone that got a ps3 for playstation home needs putting out of their miseryQuote:

I moved from my 360 for that reason (after I got it back after a RROD!)Quote:

Multimedia capabilities/storage - no contest!
I don't notice the difference in quality of games, it's clear the 360 has sharper textures/better performance when looking at a eurogamer face-off but while playing...I don't really notice.
Exclusives - Never liked Halo/MMO/Driving, therefore nothing on the 360 grabbed my attention, now Uncharted 1/2, Killzone... wowzers!
Noise - I knew it would be quieter but wow, really it was like night & day.
I do miss the NXE though, it was much more friendly & the shopping/downloading side of things is wildly better than the PS3. 360 had nicer touches like auto synching of gamerscore (Sony WTF were you thinking with trophies not doing this?!)
The 360 is arguably the better 'games console' but I'm starting to think that for someone like me (late twenties, family man etc) the PS3 offers so much more. Perhaps now people are only starting to realise they want more than a games machine (which is still fine for the young un's!)
There really isn't that much of a difference noise issue-wise - once you start playing a game you here that fan ramp up from its near silent start up and XMB mode, it does just sound like a 360 (game on HDD obv).
Well I can certainly notice it :) Much less of a constant hum to the PS3.Quote:
