What you on about, the new online features (which we now have), or full HDMI (which the 360 still doesn't have as a 'standard' feature)? Hmm..

I got a HDMI cable with my xbox so I don't know what you are chatting about.

Maybe I shouldn't take crisp, clear, perfect images for granted - or the ability to message friends and shit while i'm in the middle of game - or like, the ability to message someone while a game is loading.

Im surprised some thick shit PS3 developer was bare enthusiastic at like "YEAH LETS MAKE IT SO YOU HAVE TO STOP PLAYING THE GAME TO MESSAGE" and they only just fixed it. I wonder if that guy got fired.

Unless you have the 360 Elite, you don't get full HDMI output. So if yours isn't an Elite, then your HDMI cable is giving you 720p only - there's a difference, clever guy, hence why I said "full" HDMI to start with.

Anyway.. you want a PS3 and you know it. I don't want an Xbox. Bye now.

I play xbox for purely CoD4...

The release of PlayStation 3 firmware 2.40 last night seems to have caused a wide number of issues for those who updated to the new release, as we reported earlier. It now appears that Sony has since pulled the newest update, reverting back to firmware 2.36 as the most recent available version. We were just prompted to download version 2.36 after having skipped the most recent pair of PS3 software updates. This may be a temporary move to prevent more widespread reliability issues. We are awaiting confirmation on the move from Sony and will update when we hear back.

Enjoy exiting your game to say hello.

Christ almighty, you really are pathetic. You've been racking them posts up recently, Ash, get out and get some air fella.

(Whether or not you're taking the piss, posting cos you're bored, whatever.. it really is laborious putting up with your juvenile bullshit. Don't like the PS3? Move on.)

Im only trolling bro. And yeh my post count has sky rocketed thanks to not having any work to do at work.

If I could have a PS3 - I would, but you know, it somewhat dosent appeal to me - xbox360 didnt either till my bro bought one. Only thing that does appeal to me is Guitar hero.

I would like to take this moment to spend my special thanks to Badger, Kins, Kozee and eLbe.

Minor thanks go to the afterschoolers such as Diss04, and Blizzard.

Other thanks go to those who have helped me along my way.

*bows*

Lol, fair enough. I'm just a bit aggy because 1) I've not played my PS3 in about three months and can't wait to be reunited when I go back to London on Friday, and 2) I've been battling with a GIANT fly for the past 3 hours, and only managed to SQUASH IT'S SHIT about 30 seconds ago.

I GAVE YOU A CHANCE, FLY, I OPENED THE WINDOW FOR YOU AGAINST MY WILL. I EVEN LET YOU WATCH ONE TREE HILL WITH ME FOR A BIT, BUT YOU TOOK THE PISS AND CROSSED THE LINE. FUCKING PRK FLY.

Should of bust out with the can of lynx and a lighter.

Only have a bit of deodorant left, and I've not got a lighter.

But it wouldnt have mattered anyweh, this thing was MASSIVE and I swear I got a direct hit at least twice before the final one brought it to it's knees.
