- It's quieter than the xbox 360.

so let's have a rousing chorus of woo and yay! .
And lets not forget that if you have an intruder in the house you can bludgeon him to death with it. A bit messy perhaps, but it'll get the job done.
While someone explains to you what gesture you have to make with the Wiimote to hit someone
Someone posted a pic of the Ultimate Wipeout Controller a few pages back (or maybe in another thread, I can't be bothered to check). I was just having a discussion about how fucking ace the sixaxis would be as a Wipeout controller. It's almost as if they said "Team Liverpool - what could we add to the Dualshock 2 to make Wipeout better?" and then did it. I'm convinced that PS3 Wipeout is being worked on as we speak. Makes no sense to overshadow Motorstorm with an announcement though.

You'd probably do yourself more damage by lifting it.
The last few pages in this thread remind be of the fist fight in Blazing saddles when they pour from the western set into the 1930's dance routine set and continue the fight.
Its just the nintendo fan boys scraping in the very sober PS3 thread instead.
anyway just my twisted humour I'm afraid, not ment to offend anyone or anything.... slowly tiptoes out of thread... before fight continues.

Yeah, what's *up* with that? At least one person on here has a ps3, surely there should be some "hey but guys, this is really cool despite all the niggles" stuff? I've seen NONE, here or on my LJ friends list. Bugger all. Maybe it's because the bulk of the ps3s are still going through eBay, who knows? All the new Wii people have been Wii-Wii-Wii-ing away about how much fun they're having, where's the noise for the ps3?
If they *do* bring out Wipeout (and I pray to Goat that they are) then no thread will be safe from my spooing, for sure .
So come on, ps3 whistle possee, make some fucking noise! ...

Actually it is. Healthier and way more tasty than other oils.
Yeah, olive oil is really nice for popcorn at least. You just have to watch out so it doesn't catch fire, I suppose.
I dunno. It's actually nice to see thatthe nintendo camp doesn't go aound gloating to those poor people who have just bought that system. I admit, that even i think that from the stuff i've heard on tWiT podcasts and so on, i don't think that i myself would buy a PS3, until the major bugs are taken out.

There have been. Mark's been saying positive stuff for a while, but he was more or less shot down.
I've had access to a PS3 and have had for some time. No real niggles seen, far fewer than on the 360 at launch. It's prettier than you'd expect from the photos and although it's large for a console, it won't dwarf your other equipment. It stacks well on top of a horizontal 360. The controller is light, which takes some getting used to, but it's not bad by any means. There's less of a deadzone for the sitcks so they don't wobble so much, but your fingers tend to slip off the shoulder paddles a bit. The UI is nice and simple to navigate, Xbox blades look a bit overcomplicated and garish in comparison. I've only played a few pre-release demos and only at 720p, but Motorstorm is pretty good, the others - meh.
I think it may also be the fact that if you brick a Wii currently, it's only a matter of being £150 or so down, and not so bad to try and repair or replace.
Brick a PS3 (and there's a few tales so far of it happening) and the damage pocket wise is probably four times as much. Given the stock issues too, I don't think many people here will be importing early.

Speaking as somebody who has been using 360s since before the launch, and hasn't encountered anything he'd call a 'niggle' so far, I'd be interested to hear what you mean by that.
Mark wrote:Saw Tony Hawks on PS3 yesterday. Despite what I've heard frame rate was much better than my experience playing the 360 version.
Probably because the 360 was running at 1080i and the PS3 at 480p.
