Absolutely, and we all know how history likes to repeat itselfDio wrote:but PS2 is far less than half what it was made out to be.
Ha Ha yes olive oil is the daddy I agree, it's all I use when it's possible but you wouldn't deep fry chips in olive oil because the flash point is way to low for deep frying which was the analogy, infact incase anyone really cares, get some ground nut oil and do the old two stage blanch+fry thing with some thick cut potato into chips and you wont be dissapointedPeet wrote:Yeah, olive oil is really nice for popcorn at least. You just have to watch out so it doesn't catch fire, I suppose.grue wrote:Actually it is. Healthier and way more tasty than other oils.Old_but_still_a_kid wrote:It's like saying "Olive oil is the daddy, so deep fry your chips in it" when clearly it is great but it is not right for that particular job
That was my point though, no matter how great something is it can never be the best for everything Well, tough tittyOld_but_still_a_kid wrote:if you really don't want a PS3 or have no inclination to even believe it is a good machine simply because of the makers badge on it then really this isn't the thread for such people.
Doesn't work like that does it? Or shall we create a "Wii is shit", "PS3 is shit" etc. threads too? ..except when it's people who are actually working with both machines telling you what they think, surely?Old_but_still_a_kid wrote:I think the whole PS3 vs 360 thing is a bit of a grey area
If that's how you want to justify itOld_but_still_a_kid wrote:Yes I want a PS3. Why? ok... think about this for a second...how much is a 360, a budget "PC", and a Blu-Ray/HDDVD video player? Well that's exactly what you will be getting from Sony, all 3.
But given that you could buy a 360, HD-DVD drive and a PC that will certainly be a better "PC" than you're going to get with the PS3/Linux combo... Oh, and you'd actually have some games worth playing, too.Strange comment. Did anyone specifically tell you that?Old_but_still_a_kid wrote:But what we do know is there isn't much wrong technically with a PS3 for a console
Except when anyone dares to say anything at all positive about the PS3 in this forum.Snakey wrote:Anyway, I don't think anybody is trying to say "PS3 SUXX0R". It's just the insistance from certain quarters that it's so much better than everything else, which, by all accounts, is a complete load.
You're both presuming they meant graphically - maybe it was a reference to the SIXAXIS motion sensitivity (they say it works well and is intuitive in Lair) or maybe purely the amount of data that is stored on the Blu-Ray disc. But yeah, it did strike me as being a bit premature and the kind of comment that would come back to bite them on the ass in the future.Snakey wrote:It won't even be 'beyond the 360' now.

Giving Microsoft a good kicking is part of the daily round, Edge are just doing their duty. JOKE LOL. Also, don't forget that the article is as pro Wii as it is PS3.By the way, that Edge article is utter shit. I don't normally say that about things I haven't read, but crapping on the 360 is just stupid
They might be taking the piss but there are [braindead] people out there who will take this comment as "Teh 360 is TeH SuXX0rZZ".Rod_S wrote: "The dazzling white (Wii) Remote's other main capability is to make a 360 pad look decidedly grubby". OOF.
PS3 FTW!Xbox 360's HD-DVD drive, cooked up in quick time to give the platform more parity with Sony's approach, the token gesture towards more family friendly content, and the strategic unveiling of the first hard Halo III details timed specifically to throw a spanner into the works of Sony's launch, will not bring about a dramatic change in Microsoft's fortunes
Here they're talking about the noise and about how quiet the PS3 is:In this supplement, we take a look at some of the reasons why, despite Sony's worst efforts, demands for this console, not Xbox 360, remains so high
They go on to talk about the "lack of finesse in MS's design" and the "360's garish front end". It's a like for like comparison, and in virtually every instance they prefer the PS3.Today's living room devices aren't supposed to chug and wheeze, and PS3 has been built to be entirely non-intrusive. Microsoft's machine, by comparison behaves like, well, a machine
It's just a stupid comment.
