I don't. I still have my PS2. I'm waiting to see if it ever comes down in price.

Gran Turismo looks pretty decent but Mario Kart is out soon on the Wii so I'll stick with that for the time being.....

Got a flashed xbox 360 as well. Although it is my second one. There have been quite a few problems with the xbox but all seems to be getting better now.

Both consoles seem to be in a bit of a rut at the moment though. Not many decent games out and too many are war based. Looking forward to Grand Theft 4, which is finally out soon.

Sky High ;- If your xbox 360 is less than 12 months old, phone the customer service line and tell them your wireless controller is broken. Make up any fault. They will send you a new one.

that sony HOME for PS3 looks pretty interesting

saw a demo of it at the store. I dont have any game systems yet other than my computer but I might spring for either the PS3 or the 360.

yeah i'm also looking forward to GTA 4 as I enjoyed san andreas so much.

I do.

Saw an advert last night for the PS3 with GT5 Prologue. £299. I think that should shift a few consoles (as did the GT3 A Spec PS2 bundle when that came out).

Wait until GTA4, then we'll really see them start to take off. By Christmas this year the picture will be completely different.

I only have 4 games, but I am enjoying one of them immensely - Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - highly recommended.

My PS3 online ID btw is RTID75

ah but it is it regressing? Personally I much prefer the Mario Kart racing mechanic to the anal tweaking of Forza and Gran Turismo. The Project Gotham Racing games are good as well.

i went and got a ps3 today. got the choice of the system with ratchett and clank or the gt5 pack. Took the ratchett one though as GT5 is less expensive to buy. Got a cpl of blu ray films too, very impressed.

Had my 360 for about 2 years or more now. they extended the warranty to three years tho to cover the red eye issue.

Would need to unflash it if i were claiming!

Can you chip a PS3?

Just had a look at the up and coming releases of the xbox and it doesn't look impressive tbh.

not yet. blu ray burners are extortionate and blu ray discs are expensive too.

i see you can get an hd dvd player for the 360 for pennies now. worth a purchase? i almost got one and then thought, nah!
