PlayStation®3 General Discussion

Sony should intriduce an improved chat system similar to the Xbox 360's as that is the only problem with this console

[andie2247]

[McNeilio]

My friend got given a 360, and we had a little blast of it.
Apart from the games-side of things (some better, some worse, as you'd expect), the hardware itself is very underwhelming.

No inbuilt wLAN, no USB ports for pendrive data storage, pay extra for wireless controllers, noisy bugger, pay for decent X-Box Live usage (not hardware, but still a big sticking point), until recently - puny EXTERNAL HD storage...

I'm happy with the PS3 without pan-game chat thanks very much.

It offers the same as the Ps3 also has the option to have 2 16GB USB sticks formatted to the 360 HDD standerd giving a extra 32GB strage if needed,

This option will most likely be available in the PS4 update

Interesting to see most of my points have been resolved to some point, but the XB-Live sub issue is my big sticking point.
However, I have never paid extra to have a wireless controller on my PS3, and the lack of 360 HD space was based on my knowledge when I was weighing up between the two years ago, and I did qualify that point.

It wasn't an anti-360 rant, just what I experienced of this machine.

I don't get what you mean.

You get a wireless controler with both Ps3 and 360 some bundles offer two wireles controlers

Other than that you have to buy more controlers if you want them it has always been like that for both Ps3 and and 360

The Sub puts many off yes but to guess Sony could well add a sub for the next PS home console with the money they have lost recently

They are doing their best to get PS+ sold at the moment but it is not enough to regain their losses.

Would be good even just a 1 on 1 private chat like the xbox offered before party chat! but in all fairness we didnt care about it before when xbox never had it so why now? good thing aswell theres nothing more annoying than when your playing a diffrent game from 7 people in the party and they are all screaming " THERE AT B BOMB " down the mic!!!!

CrustyJockStrap.

In your first answer to me, your red response to wireless controllers was "you have to do this with Ps3".
Perhaps we confuzzled one another.

However, as you can now get wireless controllers in some 360 packs - that is a good thing.

Still not sure I'd ever want to buy one though. Perhaps it's what I'm used to. I get scared of change.
