360 already has all this stuff?
I only got my playstation 3 on August 9, and already i am completely in love with it, even more so now the update has come, it contains bbc i player, and loads of other cool features.
You really took the time to come here and be a “my system is better than yours” troll? How sad, sorry, and lonely you must be.
Xbox 360 crushes ps3 it’s only good for a blu ray player
Captain obvious yr a ******. It’s only an opionion for f**ks sake.
360 is a way better online experience than psn.
As a owner of both (and I’m not a Microsoft fanboy before any of u Fu**ers) start)
the 360 is way more interactive with better features, usability and content
@ Funkychopsta
You are just as bad as Captain Obvious by acting the way he did. No need for immature language and scoffs.
Now on the 360 is better than PS3……nope
PS3 kills 360 in every aspect. The only feature worth mentioning on the 360 is Netflix.
I own 360, Wii, PS3, DSi, and PSP
LOL, I was eagerly waiting for the 3.0 update… like WOW !! Three point O, it took my iphone to a completely different level, what will sony do?!
….
…
.
……
sparkles? LOL, so much for a MAJOR update..
USELESS!! xD
but still waiting for uncharted 2, totally awesome :D
Gotta love the damn 360 fanboys coming here…
I own both a PS3 and a 360 and while I use my 360 more for gaming I also love my PS3. The only thing I’m really waiting for on it is the ability to watch Netflix Instant Watch which is supposedly coming in November.
I like the “Whats New” screen, still checking it out.
I have both systems and must say the PS3 is more versitale, better graphics and has never locked up, cant say the same for the XBLOB.
