Hey all

Well I have had a 360 since it went live and I wanted to get some feed back on the PS3. I cant see a price drop any time soon and I wanted to get one (I am not pro 360 or pro PS3 so dont think I am trying to set off the fan boys). But I do think that some PS3 games have a big WOW factor to them, like Motostorm and Warhawk. Now the PS3 pack I am getting has the PS3+2Trolers+Motostorm+Resistance. But I am getting it for Warhawk and Heavnlysword. I also Wana give lair a try to.

I am starting to get **** with the 360 and the amount of **** lag I get on shooter games. The thing I wanted to ask is if the PS3 is the same as PS2 where we could only get Australian severs. Even with ADSL2 I still Lag on games like Gears of War and it **** me to high hell! but when I play Forza I get no lag at all. I just wanted to know if its still Australian only severs.

The other thing I wanted to ask is if any one has had any hardware problems with there systems and has had to send them off to sony for repairs? I havent had to send my 360 off but I just wana make sure is all.

1 Last thing. What is the best thing you like about PS3? and why? and what is your Fav. game? and why? O yer also, is there any ppl who still play Motostorm online and do people still play it.

Thanks all!

I'm not sure about the server question you are asking about because I'm in Canada but I can tell you that the PS3 is a great system and it is VERY reliable (less then 1% failure rate compared to 360s 30%). And yes people still play motorstorm...it's still a new system and a new game, plus they have add-ons for it. Also more people will be getting it with the 80GB PS3 so more and mroe people will keep playing. As for my fav game I would have to say it's a tie between Warhawk and Resistance. Resistance has a great single player mode and great online while Warhawk has the headset and GREAT online play. Thing I like most about the PS3 is it's a BR player and the HDD swap takes 20seconds.

I dunno why forza has less lag than gears of war, but the ps3 servers have less lag than the 360 servers because the 360 servers are peer 2 peer so that they can integrate everything over xbl, on ps3 every game has its own unique server so it cuts down on lag. The ps3 is built like a tank, Sony excels at bulding hardware, where as microsoft specializes in the software, not hardware(explains the high failure rate on the xbox). Their alot of things i like about ps3, blu-ray is handy, online is really taking off with great games like warhawk(my favorite), and resistance/motorstorm. As well as home which i really believe will be a huge hit and killer app for the ps3. Alot of ppl complain about the line up of games for the ps3 but from here on in their will be so many games hitting the system, youll go broke trying to keep up.

Nothing we can say will make u understand the power of the ps3. U have to buy it and see for urself. But make sure to buy ninja gaiden sigma for ps3. And Rainbow six vegas and other shooters on the ps3 has no lag.

thanks for the replys guys! See the thing is, is that the 360 Lags on any FPS game I play, Even rainbow 6. I think the reason why I never laged on the Ps2 and why I think I also wont lag on PS3 is because Sony has a HQ down in Australia, Microsoft dont. Thus we will have dedicated severs.

I sont know about getting NinjaG. I played both of them and I liked them alot but just alittle extra content might not be much for me to get it, but I'll give it a shot, I really wana get Warhawk, that game looks like BF2 on Crack! and I must get Heavenly Sword.

LittleBigPlanet looks..............interesting, cant see the point of it but looks fun from the trailers.

ps3 has a great 2008 line-up, and likely by then there will be another price-drop.

as for getting it now, I wouldn't advice to do so, unless of course, I already purchased a ps3 and wanted more people to join the club.

as for lag, geow is just retarded. I've stopped playing that game online because there are no Israeli players for the most part and playing in the US is just painful.

PS3 isn't too shabby online, though.

Owning both these consoles is the absolute best position you can be in. :)

Let me say this - the 360 has allot of good games now and a few good ones coming.

The PS3 has a few good games now - and a HUGE amount of great exclusives coming.

You will be happy to own both and have the choice of all the good games available - as the PS3's power is only now just starting to be tapped - you are going to see a huge evolution in the "WOW" factor over the next 6 months or so on the PS3.

Buy a PS3 - you won't regret it. :)

I'm in Melbourne and get to play everyone in different countries. PS3 is pretty domanating and there is no lag for me. I know what you mean because I too keep reading that Americans get the price cut, but we don't. If you are gonna buy one I suggest you do it soon because I think the starter pack isn't arround for much longer. You may want to check that because I could be wrong. Hope to play against/with on Warhawk (when I eventually get it!)
