    Just got me a PS3

    However you look at it, it's unhelpful. On this occasion Royal Mail are Plays customer therefore Play should persue the items on Sneeks behalf, and taking a "we can't do anything for 21 days" response is frankly bull. I refuse to believe that a company the size of Play sent items out 'willy...

    ...Assassin's Creed...

    That's just the E3 trailer mate, which is pretty much universal. So not really a true indication of either system, but for the record, they'll likely look indentical i'd imagine.

    MSN alternative

    If MSN is blocked then try using Web Messenger. Failing that try Trillian (msn/icq/yahoo all-in-one).

    Just got me a PS3

    Jesus christ man... So you're telling me that these games are poor releases? The reason I listed them is because for me they look like being good additions to any games collection, and games are what the PS3 needs by all accounts. I'll put this in big letters so you can all read it: CAN YOU...

    Yeh SC, was superb...I loved Kalik! Powerstone was where the fun was at though, superb game!

    Just got me a PS3

    ^I'm not really up on the games scene mate in honesty these days. Have no time of real thirst for sitting playing games, but i'm sure there is some great titles being released. I used to love playing games like Rez on my DC, theres an original game for you :)

    Looking for a new contract? Look no further!

    '3' = Worst customer service i've EVER received, period. I'd not sign upto 12 months of that again, even if it were free. The amount of dropped called, network busy, and failed SMS was bloody ridiculous...97% coverage my arse!

    Can you elaborate on this matey? Well when GT5, PES, MGS, GTA IV are launched things will change somewhat I'm sure.

    HDMI lead

    Saying what though, that's the point lol. I can appreciate that with SCART leads, using the crappy ones they always bundle isn't conducive to getting a decent picture, but it goes for VGA/DVI/HDMI cables, there really isn't a lot to choose between them. The likes of IXOS/Monster/QED would like...

    Just got me a PS3

    Lee, remind me of a console launch that actually had a good array of titles on launch to satisfy everybody. It's always been a problem with early adoption - was the same on the N64, the DC, Wii (save for Zelda, which isn't for everyone), and the 360(?). I'm not in a rush to buy games, I want it...

    Being delivered tomorrow, so don't have it just yet. Can't wait to get on Virtua Fighter though lol, used to love paint VF3 coin-op...drunken shun! ;)

    HDMI lead

    McBunny...it's a cable mate, if it works then it works. Unless you swing off the cables, and use them for skipping they're not likely to break overnight. If they don't work, you take them back and get a replacement. Very simple.

    Just got me a PS3

    Superb! :) I'll take the wired option then as it's going to be living like 3ft from my router. Ubuntu sounds great, is that via an install or via a Live disc? EDIT Yeh RJ45 = Network connection = "phoney type thingy"

    HDMI lead

    Well many people on AVforums have commented their findings on various leads, and for lengths sub-3m there's little/nothing between them. I was going to get a Mark Grant G1080 lead, but I couldn't justify the cost given peoples experiences.

    Just got me a PS3

    Super, I'll check it out. BTW - Does the PS3 have an RJ45 port, or will I have to buy some additional kit? I'm hoping I can just wire it into my router and get playing. Also did you receive your free copy of Casino Royale mate?

    HDMI lead

    Indeed Daz, either the 1's and 0's get there, or they don't. Anyway i'll update the thread when it arrives, although my TV won't do 1080p so I can't test that. Seems a decent cable anyway.

    Just got me a PS3

    Guys...lets not have some "my dad is better than yours" argument, there's a million forums on the web debating/arguing about 360/ps3. Personally I couldn't give a monkeys who thinks what is better, unless they have something good to say. Can those with a PS3 already post up some useful links to...

    HDMI lead

    Can be closed/deleted. I went for a Linx HDMI cable off of Play's sale for £12 delivered. Read that anything under 3M you can pretty much use string for, and theres nothing to choose between a £200 IXOS to a £5 Tesco value cable (source: Avforums). Cheers.

    HDMI lead

    Any of you folks able to recommend a decent HDMI lead to link a PS3 to a HDTV? Links appreciated! Cheers :)

    Just got me a PS3

    Thing to remember though is the Xbox has had lots of time to mature, and for the developers to really get to grips with the dev kits. Things ALWAYS suck to start with ;) I haven't even played one mind, so pretty much a blind date with a PS3. As long as it plays BR movies nice and sharp though...

    Just got me a PS3

    Elaborate. I'm sure there is some glitches to be fixed and improvements to be made, but in the age of online updates that's not a problem. TBH I didn't even buy it for the games side of things, purely for the BR capability/media center. Hopefully within a year they'll be a good mod on the...

    Just got me a PS3

    Off eBay for £360, new, UK 60gb edition, COD3, Virtua Fighter 5 and some BR film called Click. Good deal, right? :o Now I finally get to enjoy some movies on my HDTV :D Anybody else got one that has any recommendations media wise, I think i'll need a HDMI cable(?) and just wondering what...

    Still worth getting a Wii?

    They're a good piece of kit, and despite selling mine (lack of time) I enjoyed it. The other point being that now you can use them as a media center, and have them chipped too is added value. Good for the casual gamer i'd say, and certainly good with friends. Some quality titles out there which...

    Forza Motorsport 2...

    Can someone tell me why a car with that power/weight is able to simply continue driving whilst on grass/gravel with little/no problem - seems ultra realistic :o

    Nobody is in the same league as '3' for incompetant customer service, they're imbeciles. I had to threaten with court action - never again!

    Anyone know why this lcd is so cheap?

    The thing is, it's going to be f00king ages before we see true 1080p stuff with any regularity. The other point is i'm willing to bet that you'd not be able to tell the difference between a 720p and a 1080p scene on a 37" screen! People make a big deal of all these numbers, but 720p in the home...
