the biggest advantage of PS3 really is BluRay and thats what your paying for too. In your case thats probably not so relevent. I went for an XBox largely due to price, but have been very happy with it. Its been out long enough that there are plenty of quality games available for in or abouts 30quid, Bioshock for example.

The picture quality will be better on a PS3 alright, but not by too much. If your projector is good quality, you should be grand. I set up my Xbox with a projector for a drunken ProEvo session last stevens day, covered the wall and was excellent. Since a projector won't be the same quality as a High Def TV, I'd say the difference between the XBox and PS3 would be negligible.

Bah, just went get a drink from the can machine and pressed Coke Zero instead of regular Coke. Great start to the week.

Xavi6 · 17-11-2008 01:56AM

Here's something to get a smile on your face for the week. A thread of epic proportions -

Post 93 is amazing.

One Cold Hand · 17-11-2008 06:37AM

Lol!!!
I'm not even going to ask how you came across that!

Xavi6 · 17-11-2008 06:39AM

I'm afraid I can't take any credit. The Humour Forum pointed me in the right direction.

Mila Kunis was made look like a butch bodyguard! Olga was amazing, but come on, you enjoyed it? There was a bit where he gets out of the water,
takes the drugs
, jumps up and screams like the Hulk when he transforms, except it's red instead of green. It was terrible and you know it Neil!

That was a hallucination he was having, that wasn't meant to be real to everyone else. And it looked awesome!

Mornin lads, xavi...that thread....I could have done without but still very funny!

Necronomicon · 17-11-2008 09:17AM

I'm a little late on the 360 vs PS3 debate. I have both, but right now I'm leaning towards the PS3. I ended my Live subscription because you can get most of the same games for the PS3 and play for free online. Plus, Blu-Rays are mad.

Does the xbox still sound like a jet engine or do you get used to it?

ShiverinEskimo · 17-11-2008 03:00PM

It's not too bad - I just turn the sound up on the receiver to drown it out. No worse than being sat beside the PC playing a game and hearing the CPU and GFX fans spin up when the going gets tough.

Diet drinks are probably worse, think no sugar but 5 times the carcinogens. Apparently phenolanylene is stored in your body as formeldehyde although that could just be a lie someone told me.

I expected him to rear his head at some stage but tbh the soccer forum is likely the last place he wants to be right now - especially given the fashion in which they were denied. Cruel way to lose it.

SantryRed · 17-11-2008 05:47PM

He's banned again I think:pac:

Ah yes "The Shining", great film. Reminds me of that time last Saturday when Dundalk got promoted to the Premier Division thanks to Colin Scanlon's last minute equalizer. How's tricks Des?

How's the 21st go? Did you escape or was the allure of the yang wans in skimpy skirts too much for you?

ShiverinEskimo · 17-11-2008 07:55PM

I am finished now at 7 and then straight down to 5-a-side. Going to take my anger out on some poor innocent lad on the opposite team.

Chong · 17-11-2008 08:54PM

I have had Footie Manager 3 days and its taking over my life.

Worst of all, I was managing Spurs, and won the Fa Cup, Pool sack Rafa for finishing 4th and they come a calling, so now I am the Pool Manager.

Chong · 17-11-2008 08:55PM

On a side note, has Charlie Mc Hugh come back yet?

eZe^ · 17-11-2008 08:59PM

Chong my mac loving buddy, how much did you purchase said game for? 40 bottle-caps?

Si Si Cheech, 40 Pesetas!!!

IF only they released the mac update patch as the game is ridiculously riddled with issues, they already released one for Windows.
