Things you love about your console

[Silent1]

I like on the ps2 and ps3 how you can turn the playstation logo around so it's always the right way up.
Also I like how on the PSP and ps3 how the background colours change with the months.

you can't stream a blueray movie as blueray is a storage disc format, do you mean streaming HD movies?

Spot on.

In fact, the PS3 is the more format-friendly of the two; it'll stream .mkv files which the Xbox resolutely will not.

I have both, and I'd take the PS3 if forced to choose between them.

Love turning my xbox off from the wireless controller thereby saving me getting up off the sofa where i've been parked for 5 hours playing MW2.

I love the fact I don't get the RROD or have to pay £20+ a year to play online... And I like the fact I can play Bluray movies, and that I can stream movies from my PC, and that I can surf the internet, And that it can easily join a wireless network, and that it doesn't come with a small power plant. I heard Microsoft were selling the power bricks to construction firms

And that online isn't full of chavs.

ETA: For my elite, Forza.

Built-in WiFi and near silent running does it for me.

i did think that LOL... fail....


I love party chat... and speaking to the people i want to all the time playing different. I also like being able to join games from the dashboard with the click of a button.

With the PS3 i love having a remote control that doesnt look like its made for kids!

Really, this is why you bought you console? because it was silent and had wifi?

(I'm not really sure which one you're talking about, but these are strange things to hold above anything else, my router has these things too, do you want to swap?)

I have a 360 & PS3, bought the PS for Blu-Ray and haven't turned the 360 on since I got the PS, it has better looking controllers, is silent compared to the helicopter-esque 360, I don't have to pay to play online and it doesn't look like it was made by a 5 year old.

[ScottishSamurai]

How tight are people here that they complain about £20 a year?
£1.67 a mont, oh noes

I like the games, the GUI, the controller quality (still using my launch pad), the party system and the online service.

Xbox 360

Didn't buy one - won it.

No thanks, i'm perfectly happy with mine.

I like my PS3 as it plays Blu-Ray (and will eventually have GT5 on it). Also it will play all my old PS1/2 games if I ever want to get them out.

I like my XBOX360 becasue Xbox Live is actually very good. Also it has Halo3.

I like my Wii because the control interface makes for great inclusive party play when I have family (young and old) come to visit.

Each has it's own strenghts and weaknesses. There is no 'superior' console, just the one that suits you best. Since we each have our own priorities, each of us will prefer a different console. Fanboy wars are daft at best.

I hate the way your hands are skewed when playing racing games on the Xbox controller.

If I could have Forza 3 on the PS3, I'd junk the Xbox entirely.

Nice.

P.S. I was trying to avoid the inevitable PS3 vs. 360 debate. its already started though, i'm oot.
