Will stick to yhe comp Chav bought a PS2 and ended up giving it to my cousins laddie as I never used it. The only game consel I was really into was the old atari one of which I got some of its games to run on the comp.

My daughter luckily for me is not a techno freak apart from cameras becauseshe saves and "fixes" them on her computer. Never been into keeping up with the Jonses.

Heh,
I did consider trying to get an Xbox360 to sell on. At teh end of the day its supply and demand, If I could make a couple of hundred quid for a couple of hours work then its a darn sight better interest rate than the banks are offering. In teh end apathy won.


I did have my first 'hunt the unobtainable toy' moment though. MIL wanted to buy Siobhan a Roll and Rounds, Drop and Roar dinosaur. Argos doesn't have any till after xmas, neither did littlewood, additions, toys r us, etc. There weren't any on ebay either! in the end I found one at theentertainer.co.uk but even these are sold out now.

will never happen and is definatly not true

however the person who told you this has probably got mixed up with the information below

the xbox1 will play

ps1 games
n64 games
atari games
commodore64 games
gameboy advance games
snes games
a few others i cant remeber right now but to play them you have to have your xbox1 chipped which is now illigal in the uk and run emulators


basicly no the ps3 will not play xbox games

[entwisi]

PS3 will be near equivilant spec to the Xbox360(You will never find someone who can give you a true technical review giving one better than another).

In real world terms, graphics will be far better than PS2, there will be greater emphasis on online gaming/media centre ability etc. Just have a google for PS3 reviews, there will be some pre production ones out there

I guess that some people have more money than sense or are skinting themselves to provide something special for their whinging offspring. Common sense really has died hasn't it?

Funnily enough I was brought up not to ask for stuff.........can you tell???
