RE: Stupid PS3 software updates

RE: Stupid PS3 software updates

RE: Stupid PS3 software updates
I had a 360 from release and never had the RROD, but because it did not have a HDMI port I gave that to my little brother (with whom it is still running perfectly, so that is 3.5 years so far) and bought a newer one with my most recent Christmas bonus. And you are 110% right Shandy, it is nowhere near as loud with the newer consoles, you can barely hear it.
Plus the 40 minutes really is not bullshit, I have actually had to wait longer for some of the main PS3 updates which don't actually change much, whereas I have had to wait 12 minutes I think it was for the NXE on the 360 which changed EVERYTHING on it. The difference in games is also very debatable, with most multi-format games actually looking better on the 360 if the reviews on ign are to be believed. Plus I have like 5 mates who own 360's and about 5 that own PS3's, not one 360 has had to be replaced and one mate has had to replace a PS3 once and one has had to replace his twice, and you cannot keep the stuff saved on the PS3 because the hard-drive is internal so the twofer guy was SO pissed haha.
Don't get me wrong the PS3 is still very useful for me film-wise, like the fact it signs you out so you aren't bothered when watching a film and films like Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk really are superb on Blu-Ray. But the 360 is so much better for gaming and ridiculously more user-friendly.

RE: Stupid PS3 software updates
wicked on the noise mas, am toying with an elite upgrade in the next few months cos i am gonna get a 1080p telly since my old telly broke and i'm futureproofing
yea the NXE was nearly a whole new OS and it downloaded and installed for me in about 10 mins or so, i was suprised at how quick it was.
to be honest, i'm not getting into blu-ray for at least a year or so, and i'll just buy a blu ray drive for that seperately anyway not in a rush since i can stream HD movies from my PC thru the xbox anyway
