      I'm not convinced that adding IM support and movie playing detracts from gameplay?

      I'm not convinced you're bright enough to engage in a proper discussion here.

      • Now now Asher, pick on someone your own size.

        Like, for instance, how about replying to my post calling your bluff in the VG thread.

        • While a thumb keyboard is definately better than a virtual keyboard, I'd definately just prefer to use a full keyboard. Is there/will there be any way to hook one up?

              I wasn't calling you a name, I was merely making an observation that this discussion can go nowhere with you.

              There are USB ports for USB keyboards.

                Yeah, the advantage of this one as far as I can see is more around convenience, with it just clipping in and being wireless.

                • Does the 360 recognize keyboard input for all text forms, some, or none?

                    Depends on the game. In the Dashboard areas, it's worked since launch.

                    Games like FFXI support it in-game also.

                    • as an owner of Xbox. Xbox 360, PS2 and PS3 i will make the following comments.

                      Microsoft have not signed up enough developers for their syatems ever. Sony had the market flooded since PS1.

                      As for great games, well that depends on the individual..

                      Games i enjoy playing on XBOX360:
                      Oblivion (and all its expansions)
                      Test Drive Unlimited.

                      Plus many cool Arcade games from XBOX Live Market place.

                      Games i enjoy on PS3:
                      Motorstorm
                      Resistance : Fall of man


                      What does Xbox 360 have over PS3
                      Abiltiy to connect to a PC so i can leave my music and videos and pictures in one place, for PS3 i have to copy them to the hard drive first. Also XBOX 360 lets me have picture slide show and paly music at same time, cant seem to do that on PS3.

                      What does PS3 have over Xbox 360
                      Free Playstation NEtwork membership whislt Xbox live has a cost.

                      My favourite games for the consoles are no longer made the good old Adveture games such as Spyro, Supermario etc.

                      Have fun flaming

                      • I'm not going to flame you, and I don't think Asher will since you don't have a wii.

                        Although, from reading your comments it sounds like you should get one for old nintendo games!

                        One thing you might want to look into is Xbox Live Arcade and the equivalent wii service (whose name escapes me). These allow you to download sometimes enhanced versions of old games quite cheaply.

                          Are you not following the trend of the market?

                          PSX and PS2 had more developers since it had more marketshare. Xbox 360 has most developers this generation because it has more marketshare.

                          That's an advantage on paper or for the ubercheap (and if you have a PS3, you are not ubercheap). The quality of the PSN is inferior to XBL by several orders of magnitude...

                          • Though XBL has some irritating points for a paid service. For instance I downloaded a demo the other day to test XBLA, and now I can't get it out of my games profile. Thus unless I buy the game my achievements will forever be 0.

                            Otherwise I quite like XBL and when my new longer ethernet cable arrives will probably get a gold account.

                              I make movies. Come check 'em out.
