    Hey,

    Are people playing mostly on PC? Xbox? PS3? Wii? or mainly mobile / casual?

    I'm mainly on PC and XBOX, although quite taken by OnLive.

    I would buy a Ps3 but would rather take an arrow to the knee. (jk)

    ouch an arrow to the knee over a ps3?,im mainly on x box and ps3,plenty of games and online opponents are the consoles appeal to me plus they are relatively cheap compared to a pc.

    not literally, was a skyrim reference, I went off sony's a while ago, dont know why though as it makes more sense to buy a ps3 now than an xbox, particulary if you're into home cinema as I believe the bluray player in the ps3 is quite powerful.

    consoles are cheaper than consoles, for sure, but pc's are always evolving. I guess each to their own. I think the gaming industry has had a huge boom given the recessions, which means better games and in turn better consoles / graphics cards.

    the new consoles though such as the ps3 are constantly updating themselves with the latest technology through firmware updates,and yes the blu ray player is superb and will play 3d blu rays if you have a 3d telly too,rumours are that the replacement for the xbox 360 and the ps3 are gettin announced in the summer.

    I wouldn't use the PS3 for blu ray use on a home cinema, very buggy and it's difficult to navigate the menu's even witht he Sony remote.
    PS3 for me all the way as are most folks on here

    And that's why I changed to PS3 the day it was launched in the UK. I got absolutely fed up of buying a new graphics card for £100 only to find the next game I want required an even more powerful one, then I needed a new PC because the one I bought two years ago wouldn't run the new graphics card required to run the new game, yada yada yada.

    PS3 All the way for me. Love it. It's like an Apple - IT JUST WORKS.

    Edit: I agree with Alan (Gismo), I have a dedicated Blu Ray player as the player in the PS3 is noisy as hell.

    I buried the PS3 in a cupboard so I can't hear it - the joy of a bluetooth controller :-)

    Also have a Wii but that's not been used in a year.

    Off topic, but, if you compare a dedicated blu ray player to the PS3 you'd get better results, however, it's all down to personal preferences and room condition and positioning

    really? will agree to disagree,i have the latest panasanonic 3d blu ray player as a backup and its no better in clarity or sound quality,the ps3 has come top 3 in choice of blu ray players for the passed two years against all top brands and thats by customer votes but as you say its all down to personal preference.each to there own.
