    Sony nor Microsoft have yet to profit ...

    I've just installed my PS3

    one hour after having my 37" Panasonic TV installed. (I felt something was missing in the gap liberated when the huge tube set went out the door..)

    We havn't played a game on it yet as we're using it to

    a) browse the internet

    b) playback shows/audio from usb sticks

    c) download Tv programming

    d) playing back BD/DVD discs

    When my rj45 cable extenders arrive (ooh, this afternoon) I can put all the house cabling back and stream my media of my XP too.

    Common sense

    I have a PS3 a 360 and a Wii, can you not just see that it dont matter, the ps3 is better, wheres my blueray player on my 360? the only reason most people liked the 360 is cos they are like me and like the stupid little achievements but now ps3 has that too so wot is reli better about the 360? the smaller hard drive? how loud it is? im not sure? and as for the Wii they only sold millions and millions because there soo cheap to buy not cos they better they are cheap.

    its like saying PC are better than Apple macs they really are not, no one can argue that because apple run windows XP and Vista in a window.
