    MW2 on the PS3 is amazing. I rarely get any problems on it...more so when I 'host' online (which I often do due to good connection).

    PS3's were backwards compatible on the 40 and 60gb models...but no more! And as said; if you have a PS3 why do you want to play PS2 games? The only reason I have kept mine is for Buzz to save myself a few bar.

    PS4 is an earliest of 2014, probable 2016 according to Sony.

    Negotiations to make ITV player available.

    Vidzone on PS3.

    So, some more points for the PS.

    Going back to the poster's original question, as of yesterday (14/06/2010), the answer is yes: the Xbox 360 has built in wi-fi.

    Microsoft are releasing a new, slimline 360 which is quieter, less power hungry, and features built in wi-fi.

    Am weighing up whether to get a PS3 or 360 myself. The only reason i would prefer the PS3 over the 360 is for the exclusives that are God of War 3, Metal Gear Solid 4, and Gran Turismo.

    Hmm, still deciding!

    You could be waiting a long time for that to appear on the PS3. Every time i look at the rumoured release date it has been pushed back even further.

    The PSP version was supposed to be a launch title for the PSP but only came out last year (i think)
    I agree to a point, but I truly believe it will be released this year
    :idea:

    I have the x-box 360 elite and I am very pleased with it. It does everything needed I stream movies through my computer through my x-box through wifi to my TV. I play music - mp3's etc through it. I watch DVD's through it. Oh yea and I play games through it also :-) Xbox live is very good and much better compared to the likes of Sony. X-box people get access the new levels released on games such as Modern Warfare 2 before those with Sony do. Servers when on x-box live are much more sturdy than those of Sony and less "laggy". Games are cheaper and console is cheaper.

    I know you will make the right choice :-)

    so M$ are adding features and Sony are busy removing them?
    Update 2: According to a Microsoft representative, the Xbox 360 Original will still be sold while there's stock, but they're not making any more of them. Once they're gone, they're gone -- and we'd assume a new $199 variant of the new design will eventually be released to fill the void.

    this could be good news for those with RROD's in the future!


    looks to me like they have taken some good features from the PS3
    I could be tempted
    no gigabit though,and I see its custom hard drives again :(
    TBH i would like a slim PS3/Xbox to free up space in the TV stand for a WII ;)

    Why would you need gigabit ethernet though? It's not like you can do anything on the 360 that would max a 100mbit ethernet connection.
