JamboRossi79 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Looks absolutely stunning, but its disappointing that for a supposed driving "simulator" there's still many of the same flaws from the previous games. And ?25 is far too much for a demo, but people seem to be lapping it up. Definitely the best looking driving game I've ever played, but Forza is more realistic and at the moment I think PGR4 is more fun. But I'm sticking with it... Just got it pre owned today from Game for ?20 but it's ?19.71 from ASDA (but they were sold out today when I went up) Looking forward to playing it.

Alan_R Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 As far as I'm aware the PS3 is having a great number of problems as well. Out of the 5 people I know who've bought one four of them have had to take them back. Thats pretty much the same kind of figure for the people I know who have a 360. 4 of them (including myself) have had the Red Ring and 1 of them hasnt had any problems yet. Either way regardless of what console 8 out of 10 going back to the manufacturer is still a disgrace (especially when we know its not just pure coincidence but rather the consoles themselves) Well personally I know around 10 people I know have playstations. No breakages. But I know at least 5 people who've had problems with their 360's and 3 people who've had 360 and swaped to PS3. They seem to testify that the playstation is better. Down to opinion at end of the day I guess. Everything has it's pros and cons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense I've not experienced any lag on xbox live recently so it hasn't bothered me, still...I'd rather have one or two days of lag than what the PS3 is offering.

Mate you should see how long it takes to download a demo when a big one comes out on PSN(when i say when i really mean when as they are so few and far between especially in the UK) Got to say im not really playing alot of euther of the PS3 or the 360 just now as there is a bit of a games drought right now on both systems.Except for GTA don't think the really big release will start hitting until September time again.

True, I'm just waiting on GTA IV by playing Gears, Rainbow 6 and CoD4. You should get Rainbow 6 and play online with me and Jack D. Just been reading up on this 'Home' that someone was bragging about earlier in the thread. It doesn't really seem that great, it actually sounds like it's for kids. You can buy content for your apartment that no one else will see? Just seems pointless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Morgan Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I'm more of a PES guy tbh. I prefer the gameplay a bit more but I get ****ed off with the lack of sponsors and the lag online. Thinking of trading it in and giving Fifa a chance, I'd like to see the Be A Pro mode. Fifa 08 is miles better than pes 2008 this year pes has been the better game since pes 3 but fifa is definitely the better game this year you should definitely trade-in pes 2008 and get fifa 08 you wont be disappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas-voss Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 This is for everyone who thinks the PS3 is some super unbreakable machine that totally ****es on the 360. http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=ps3+disc+read+errors&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 You see it's not only a Microsoft problem both consoles have there faults it's just that the 360 highlights their problem with the 3 red rings.

MrBones Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 The PS3 is certainly not perfect. COD4 I often get a random freeze or just a black screen, very similar to what happened just before my 360 died. As long as they don't both die when GTA4 comes out!

I think alot of people are blaming COD4 for fecking up there PS3.Personally don't think it's COD4 it's just it's just mostly everyone is playing Cod4 right now so it's easier to blame.I thought Forza 2 knackered my 360 because at the time everyone was complaining about that mucking up the 360.If your PS3 does feck up your safe in the knoledge that you'll have a new one in two days max,only bad thing is you lose your game saves and downloads.

Ivan Drago Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 So does anyone have recent sales figures PS3, 360 and Wii ? I dont think the UK publishes official sales figures, but i think the PS3 is selling almost as much possibly more than the 360 at the moment in the UK. I think the 360 is still quite a bit ahead of the PS3 in US but it is catching up, and the 360 is miles by ahead in Japan. As far as i'm aware the Wii and DS are still miles ahead of both. Oh and in some places im sure the PS2 is outselling the PS3 and the 360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's over a hundred XBOX live members on here so you'll find a match with plenty jambo's. You can add them to your LIVE friends list from KB just by clicking on their icon. Piece of p*ss. COD 4 is seriously addictive online but personally i like the co-op stuff that lets you play through the story modes with another player. Gears of War has a cracking co-op and multiplayer as does Halo 3, Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 and the Ghost Recon's (1 and 2). Pro evolution used to be the football game of choice but online it's a bit messy and i would really recommend you try FIFA 08 this time. Much better online stuff and basically all i'm playing online at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered the Gold Card through Play.com and they said it got posted yesterday so hopefully its here in the next couple of days, dont see why they cant just send you the code via email or something to make the whole process quicker mind you. Cant wait to get a shot of COD 4 online, one of the best looking games I've ever played. Superb. The idea of working with people you dont know through the levels or against others sounds amazing!
