........to be released but im starting to think fuck it, ill get a 360 once I have purchased my new TV. Shall I?
By the time PS3 is released, I could probably have saved enough for one of them too

get a 360, its more powerful, slightly. And only one core out of 3 of the chip has been used by games people so far so plenty of room for improvement

ive been looking at ps3 gameplay footage and its no more impressive than the 360, so i would get yourself a 360 premium and save yourself 200 quid. plus by the end of the year there will be some great games out for the 360 and some games and the consoles will be dropping in price aswell

How do you save 200 quid?
And when you add on the hd-dvd player theres not much difference at all.

go for a 360 Jamie, you know it makes sense.
Agreed with people here also, for the extra £70 or £80 you may as well get the Premium version. You get the hard drive (which you will need to save games), a headset so you can shout at people online, a wireless controller instead of a wired one and the HD Component cable which you will need to play your games in High Definition
Get it bought

at least the 360 allows people to build up the extras they want/need whereas sony you have to pay for stuff you might not even want.

To give you an idea of the cost of items if you were to purchase them seperately...
Hard Disk is £70
Wireless controller is £10 extra
HD cable is around £30/40
Headset is £20 i believe.
So for £70 extra, it's well worth it

The premium is better than the core for all the bits.
And topshot you are 100% correct about how europe get shat on by sony. I have had a subciption to games master for this year and in the american and jap ton ten games sales there is no sony games for months.
America choose pc and japan choose nintendo sony should release it here first and america nad japan last
