    Reason 3: Playstation has never ever given me any problems.
    My Xbox 360 has never ever given me any problems?

    Are we having a pissing contest now?

    However, my electricity bill is way to high as it is, a PS3 will just put me on Eskom's RADAR

    xbox 360 has a higher than 50% failure rate, so I'd be careful about that "never statement", personally never had any issues, but my sister's house is on their 3'rd xbox 360 elite already, so all things considered....

    switched from xbox to ps3slim now, and i must say, the one thing i miss, the xbox encoded EVERYTHING to dolby digital 5.1, and sent that through the optical out

    ps3 does not do this, it just sends everything through the optical in the format it's in, problem for me, because my av receiver has to be manually set on which decoder mode to use

    also, i think the ps3slim software is still a bit buggy, sound doesn't always actually work, like, you'd select dts on a bluray disc, receiver is set to dts, no sound, i'd turn the console off and on, restart the movie, and voillah, sound... rather annoying...

    LOVING the return of wipeout to the ps3 though! was the one game i was hoping would release

    I have to say Ps3 slim it was always the better hardware the price is what put me off.
    but now between that and the Elite slim anyday.
    Developers have more room to grow with the hardware on the Ps3.

    Er... not it doesn't; but as I said 92% of all stats are made up on the spot.

    Considering I bought one of the first UK XBox 360s I must say that this doom and gloom seems a well, mere naysaying. The XBox 360 failure rate is more around 20%, for starters.

    As for the slim, its probably finally the step in the right direction that Sony needed. Time will tell, unfortunately 23 million owners are still stuck with the original. Oh well, that's life, innit?

    Apparently that is not true either, the PS3 is notoriously difficult to programme for. As such most games done take advantage of any supposed potential that exists. It does not help to use and overly complex chip when the architecture surrounding it just doesn't allow for enough room to expand. I think Sony got it very wrong and hopefully their next incantation will take note and ensure a complete solution that isn't just focused on the CPU.

    When last did you read developers news on the net? that was the perception a while ago but since killzone things changed fast and many developers are using the PS3 platform as main developing base.

    As for not allowing to expand. LOL you must have been of the net since february.

    Any real facts to substantiate your 20% claim? Mere thubsuck does not count. So what X% thumbsuck would you allocate a poor soul (Xbox owner) with his fourth or fifth Xbox RROD failure? Mmmmm?

    Just pray yours are not next. Many a arrogant Xbot bragged the same (as well as some PS3 owners) and ended up having to admit soon after they had a RROD (YLOD) failure! tOUCH WOOD AND KISS YOU @SS IN A MIRROR, or else be doomed!

    And is classified as spamming according to the Mygaming rules

    General forum behavior

    1. Aggressive or unnecessarily offensive behavior will not be tolerated.
    - IE, no personal attacks, insults, bigotry, or condescending language.

    2. Please check current threads before posting a new thread, often your topic has been, or is in the process of being addressed.

    3. No pointless forum posts (this will be less strict in ("thread killer")

    4. No double posting, rather edit your previous post. ("thread killer" included)

    5. Check your extreme fanboyism at the door. While there is space for everybody’s opinions, it is important to respect those of your fellow forumites. Argue your points in a civilized and rational manner with out getting personal.

    6. Keep single word replies to a minimum. If you agree, then say why you agree rather than simply posting “+1” or “I agree” etc.

    7. Trolls will not be tolerated.
    - Troll: “Most commonly encountered on the internet, a troll is any person who purposely causes controversy in a web community and disrupts a forum for their own amusement.”

    8. No spamming (TK will be less strict, but will still be moderated)

    - Spam is (1) making multiple topics of the same nature, (2) making multiple topics with no purpose, (3) making multiple short replies back-to-back in a topic, (4) making multiple short replies in several topics (usually with the purpose of running up your post count), and (5) making long posts that repeat the same word, phrase, or smilie with the intent to annoy other users.
