I have all the next gen, or rather current gen now consoles and it's the Wii that sitting there doing nothing (come on nintendo give me some games!) while the 360 and PS3 get most of my playtime. I must say tho that I play more PS2 games on my PS3 than PS3 games, they looks lovely thru hdmi and I am a big RPG fan hence my having a US PS3. The 360's online stuff is great Halo3 beta is supposed to ...

Quote: Principia Discordia We have a PS3 at work, I liked Resistance and Motorstorm, but Ridge Racer is pretty awful in my opinion. I'm a 360 guy myself, but I wanted to chime in say that I too think Oblivion is an awesome game, if you like the genre. It took me a bit to get into it, but now I play it all the time. Just ...

Quick question ... Am looking at the PS3 (upgrading from slimline PS2), can anyone give me an idea regards backwards compatibility with PS2 games, have a large library of favourites that I wouldn't want to give up .Any enhancement in quality ? (maybe näive) ... Thanks P

Ok to answer your question Cyrus, I bought Oblivion here and have the English voices, it depends on what langauage you have your PS3 set up with. Only problem is the manual is in German, but hopefully you understand some German or can ask us for advice and help. Polorise, as for PS2 games, you can play them, some are fine no problems and others are a bit jumpy. For example PES6 is jumpy and ...

Quote: cyrus I always had a sneaking suspicion MS going to do this, they have a nasty habit of forcing their customers down upgrade paths as often as possible. How long before an xbox game states the dreaded "minimun requirements". Just to clarify, if I buy oblivion here, will it only be in german? Are there not multiple languages?...

i am a happy xbox 360 owner since the day it was launched here. xbox live is a really great service for online play, easy matchmaking and so on. i dont think that sony has quite managed to pull it off yet with their online service. i also like the wireless headset, and the ability to download many arcade games with have been upgraded, like a new version of jet pac and street fighter. i also ...

ps3 slim somewhat of disappointment. can now bitstream dts-hd and dolby hd directly, but it is only 30% slimmer, looks cheaper in build quality, and has no IR.

Quote: krlock3 another older game i can heartily recommend is uncharted: drakes fortune, also a budget title now for gbp 15. thats a bit like tomb raider / indiana jones... its very cool and cinematic. I had that game for ages, and for some reason, didn't like it at first, and it sat around unused for ages. Second time I tried, I couldn't stop playing, even after you complete it, it's fun to go back over and try to get more...

Quote: Russkov The give their bank info and you just complete the pay-in slip at a Multimat or by Ebanking yourself. Isn't that pretty much the same thing? Or do you want to do it at a post office? I'm just spoiled by WOG.ch. Order it in the afternoon and its in your mailbox the next day with a payment slip. Of course, in this case, they're much more expensive.
