I have both and a Wii. There are enough good games on both systmes to justify a although, I would have a hard time justifying buying both systems new though. I bought my 360 new and then lucked into a 60 gig PS3 for $300 at a pawn shop. Their loss is my gain:D

The correct tool is called a tamper-proof torx driver. The size you need is either a T-6 or a T-8, I can't remember. I am pretty sure it is a T-6 though. You can use a very small flat tip screw driver (like the size that you use for glasses) and wedge it in there and get them out.

You can only view your friends list (what game they're playing, when they last signed in, etc) by linking your account to the PSN over at playstation.com. The_Rick_14
Cool, thanks. I didn't know that. I will sign up and try it.

I have a serious question. On Xbox live you can go online from your PC and log in and see what your friends are doing, send and recieve messages and see who's online and stuff. Is there a service like that on PSN? Sometimes it is really handy. Does anyone know?

Sorry, I can't agree with you that it is poor. Although I wish it was free, I just haven't found a more unified online gaming community.

So can anyone tell me if the new PS3 really has no card reader anymore?Firasco
It is true, the new PS3's do not have any card readers of any kind. They now only have 2 usb ports and cannot play PS2 games. I hope that clears it up for you.

I'd say they're pretty even. Only thing I'd worry about is the amount of noise the 360 makes. I hear it's quieter with the newer hardware revisions though.red12355
That is true, the new ones are almost silent. One of my friends just bought one and it is quieter than my older 360 and my PS3 by alot.

I have 'em both and have to say that the multimedia capabilities are close to the same. The 360 has netflix which can be a big plus but, the PS3 will read almost any file on the PC (the 360 seems to only read what is in the windows media player on the PC) as far as videos go. The 360 will read almost anything put onto a thumbdrive though(the PS3 is alot pickier about it, only reading certain types of video files). And also, the PS3 does not have much of an advantage as far as power.

It is beautiful. The controls suck though, I set my controls to alternate 2 so that it plays like Uncharted does.

[QUOTE="Tiefster"][QUOTE="too_much_eslim"] Have you played Crackdown at all? If you didn't like it I aasume you will not be excited for Prototype andInfamous.too_much_eslim
I'm not really excited for either title. I was excited for inFamous for a while but I don't know now. I'm a strategy and JRPG fan mostly with indie games and TF2 being the games that are outside of my usual tastes. I'm weird I guess so you'll have to forgive me, this is just my opinion anyway.

Thats cool really wanted to know if you at least played crackdown. Its rare to find some someone who didin't like Crackdown from a pure gameplay perspective.

I agree, Crackdown was one of those games that I thought looked just ok. It turned out to be one of those games that I couldn't stop playing. It was my first game addiction of this generation:)
