Sony will probably copy Nintendo's plan again and they'll give it a |_337 name like Miixaxis

There are a lot of benefits to a unified online system on a console. I'm very surprised Sony don't give a toss. It works *extremely* well on the 360.

Yes but to come into this thread and basically say it's shite and that is the best way of doing it etc....

I didn't say either system was better just what is the problem with doing it either way.

I don't go into the Nintendo thread and start ranting on about how it's a toy and how shite the graphics are and paste wrong wrong wrong everywhere do I?

It's free, we do it all the time when playing online PC games, so obviously aslong as the machine supports enough multiple players per game and it's free who cares really?

Okay put the handbags away (though why and how you get w98 onto a tablet is for another thread)

back to the PS3. I think we can all agree
1) its very powerful
2) it will sell (because of the brand name rather than anything else)
3) In the end it will depend on the games rather than any particular feature

We all agree. The end.

Even if there would only be EDI games on it I would get one (at some point in time).

The other titles are a nice bonus.

EDI games?

Are you mad? I didn't come in here saying the Sony way of doing things was shite. How could I know? I haven't tried it yet. All I said was that by not doing any form of unified online system it appeared that Sony didn't give a toss and that the unified system worked really well on the 360.

Seriously. Dude. Get a grip.

Sony's XBLA (although they reckon it's much more).

If you're not replying to someone don't quote them.

I know enough about operating systems and electronics to know that it is physically impossible for a windows 98 installer to "kill" hardware. Hardware was probably fucked beforehand.

And I'd be saying exactly the same thing if someone posted an "OMFG t3h linuxes killed my computorz" post. Stop talking a big pile of wank, or at least post some details of how your tablet pcs were killed THROUGH THE FACE by an installation of windows.

If you can kill a laptop by installing windows then maybe you should be thinking about a career change...

I seem to remember one version of the Mandrake installer that had a tendancy to brick certain cd drives

Was that a bug in the firmware software or the mandrake software? Firmware is the only thing I can think of which could ever really be broken by software, and nearly all such devices have an emergency restore function in them these days that can restore the thing from fucked up state or even a completely empty state.

Unless the hardware in question has an HCF instruction. In which case all bets are off (but technically speaking it's still the hardware destroying itself

).

Tablet PCs are a little odd to start with, and if it had been designed to work with XP, then 98 with XP only devices would tank the tablet surely?
