How did you set it up!? If you did it manually try scanning and vice versa.

That's weird! Have you tried resetting the router after setting up your PS3. Because sometimes mine doesn't connect but after a couple of router restarts it works fine!

I'll go with the PS3 I currently own one and think it is overall better, gameplay, other media stuff (movies, music, internet, etc) and of course Blu-Ray. But I think XBox 360 has more game options.

I actually got a pretty fair amount for a trade-in credit @ EB Games to trade my Xbox 360 + games for a PS3 120gb Slim + extra controller + 2 games.. Yeah I go from 15 games to 2, but it was definitely worth it.

LIttle Big Planet is worth all the hype haha.. It's fun, and it's a co-op game my girl actually really enjoys. I also picked up the first Uncharted, and it's also fun. Kinda like Tomb Raider meets Gears of War (in the mechanics/take cover/3rd person sense).

Apart from the random errors I get when trying to download stuff, I have no regrets. Well, I was kinda upset that a NEXTGEN console did NOT come with ANY kind of HD cable... No HDMI, and no component.. Like REALLY???

There is a way to stop from getting the errors while downloading.. There is a setting that is probably checked that shouldn't really be checked.. I had the same problem when I first got my PS3 a couple years ago. I don't remember what it was, but google the problem and you should find your answer...

I bought the 360 because it seemed better value for money than the PS3 when it first came out. I know it has a lot of extras the 360 doesn't have but I don't really need those. My only disappointment is that Metal Gear was for the PS3 only :(

We're a PS3 family. We currently have 3 in the house. Prior to that we had an XBOX 360. We had to send it back twice for the RROD. It started acting up again so I said screw Microsoft and their crappy product. We've been happy PS3 owners ever since. (approximately 3 years).

I like the PS3 because it just works. Hey, where have we heard that before?

Crikey,
Is there anyone on this old thread that doesn't have a cool forum name?

Anyway, my daughter has an xbox360 and does those shoot-em-up thingy games but it's just not my bag.

You see I'm an old fogie and want things like F1, WRC and plane flying related stuff.

Should I go PS3 or xbox ?

Thanks in advance folks
