You can play HL2 very nicely with a CPU, MB, memory, HD and CD that all cost £30 - only the graphics card costs more at £60-ish.

And the 360 sounds like a jet engine to me. But then again I spend hundreds extra on PC's just to make them quieter.
The quietest PC I ever had (and it was as silent as my projector) was an XP3000+ Packard Bell I picked up as bankrupcy stock, the pure white ones with the touch active DVD drive door covers. Infact the new owner is over the moon about how quiet it is in use
End of the day though I will end up with all 3 by next xmas, I have no doubt by xmas 2007 the Wii will be £99 or maybe £125, £179 is way too much for a "fun" games machine, thats only £20 less than a 360 which comes with a game too now in most places. Plus I've got a 360 until Lost Planet comes out so really, as ever, all I will be doing is buying the games I like unrestricted by the release schedule/format and lets face it @ £50 I'd rather have a select number of titles I really want without hinderance and own all systems than have to compromise on my gaming and own just 1 console. Just sell one of my "spare" laptops I keep to partially fund a PS3 anyway, it's no biggy for me really from that point of view.

What's wrong with being down on the PS3? At the moment it's a big shiny pile of shit. Lots of bells, tons of whistles, and not a single game I'd want to play for the forseeable future. Flow looks neat, but not in the same Must Have!!! way that Geometry Wars 2 did. I like the PS3's potential, and don't actually care about the lack of rumble in the controllers, but overall it's a total failure. $600 worth of hype, and I wouldn't spend over $20 on it right now. Stupid, sleek, and useless.
We need a way to fuse the good bits of Sony with the best of Nintendo. Sony's willingness to work the new tech as hard as possible with Nintendo's money sense and game-oriented philosophies.

/me hears the sound of Sony climbing up the mirrors ...
@Yak: forgot to tell you about that "competition war" that's another
of those "strategies" I can't remember but I know it even has a precise name.
It's when you take a thing and instead of examining ALL its aspects
you take out only the bit(s) that interest YOU and you make (try) it
appear like that single aspect is all the whole of the thing.
OF COURSE if they have ONLY ONE blobby thing and nothing else they
would compare it with your square one (but we have lot more than one)
and they will DELIBERATELY ignore all the other blobby ones we have.
Besides, that's again stupid ( like to say it's better a banana or an apple, it
is only a matter of taste ) but as I said it's part of that "we have something
different", in this case we don't have what someone else has, but we
make it look like this is a plus not a minus.
Remember, in this war it's not really that matters what thrut or lies you
are saying is matters how you say and what you make people believe.

I hope you do call them out on it, though. That article sounds like mostly bollocks, and it's going into the realms of Sokal-esque pseudy-bollocks if they're talking about the "blobby" vs "angular" visualisers signalling a fundamental difference of the consoles.
Ha ha ha, I thought that you were checking that with Jeff, then!disciple wrote:You realise the 360 visualiser is Llamasoft?
I need another coffee - a stronger coffee! Balance with meds... more coffee...
As for the column, I hope that you do (and get to) stick with it, Yak. I don't know if it was tamed editing or your writing, but I felt that you found your stride from the second column onwards. It was 'you' again - that style we all llove and a pleasure to read. Oh, and I was unfeasibly happy at that first, unannounced appearance. Small things...
Stick it to The Man!
*cough*
Seriously Jeff, I'd hate to feel you compromise a column in Edge (and I do like reading them) because of their mass bias here to the PS3 over the 360. If it's riling you as much as it appears from your posts, then go for it, say what you feel and to hell with the consequences

A little perspective here people? It's not an article, it's a supplemental advert that's been paid for by Sony, of course it's going to be rabidly pro Sony and disparaging towards it's competition. What else would you expect? That's what adverts are for.
I notice nobody's complaining about the similar Nintendo advert that came with last months issue.
