"hey guess what im hyped for a bunch of subpar pc games to get ported to my 360 , then itll break while im playing halo 3."

what subpar pc games when i get halo 3, mass effect, alan wake (pc/360), gear 2, pgr4, bioshock. if anything the pc gets some great 360 games but end up sucking on the pc unless they were made at same time like a bioshock. but halo for instance will always suck on the pc compared to xbox.

this was fun to bad u couldnt take a joke.

hype games not stupid features.

why dont you hype 360 games that you know will stay exclusive, the only one that willpermantly stay 360 exclusive is pgr 4, and its good the ps3 is getting the feature , it will also have bluray, and to top it offitll have awesome games that stay exclusive.

I've never heard of daily mail, so I can't really trust that this is true until I hear it from somewhere more official, but its an interesting thing to take note of.

Yeah, but did you actually go to the website? It uses a photo of the old silver PS3 with the boomerang like controller. How does a news site get information unheard of from anywhere else, but doesn't even bother to get an updated photo of a PS3? It kind of hurts their credibility, or at least I think so anyway.

In the UK at least, there will be no monthly charge. The adapter is basically a freeview reciever, which is something you pay once and then get 30 extra channels. Its been around for a long time outside of the PS3 and freeview is very widely used. This is just a way to record it etc.

Oh the irony.... "cows" are constantly bragging about the extra things that are built into the PS3 (wi-fi, HDD, Blu-Ray, etc.) and constantly slamming the 360 for having add-ons.... whereas here is an ability that has been announced for sometime now to be inherant into the 360 that Sony is now coming out with an add-on for..... iiiiiiinteresting.

pass. I guess this and IPTV will be cool for everyone to poor to get a real cable/satellite plan.

For everyone else, I simply recommend a tv tuner card for your PC/laptop.

I think the peripheral is great. Its only coming out in Europe because we get free digital TV and radio, however a lot of the sports and film only channels you do have to pay a premium through a cable/satelite company.

In the US cable is more common and so you probably don't have a need for it, and it's cheaper.
