That's definitely horrendous.

I have the PS3. Bought it because of xbox rrod issues. Love its blu-ray support and works as a media server so I can download episodes of family guy and then watch them on the TV.

In retrospect, if I wanted pure gameplay I'd have gone with xbox but given the ps3 does so much more, I went for the latter.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I have both. The PS3 is the better all round media player (Blu-Ray, iplayer) but prefer using the 360 for gaming (prefer the controller).

Both are great. Most games are multi-platform so you won't miss many games.

If you will be playing online then just get whichever one your mates have.

I have had both and settled with the PS3.

PS3 also does 3D gaming and can be used as a 3D blu-ray player too.

the on demad stuff is great and i've used it a few times when my wife has missed her programmes.

I do miss Forza and PGR, but GT5 is a decent alternative.

Hope the ops go okay Gaz :happy2:

Double Ouch!! Though you'll be like the bionic man when you're done...... :jumping:

Probably worth getting a Medal of Honour / Battlefield / Call of Duty game as well. Great to take out frustration with some shooting and general mayhem!!  :fighting:

Sounds very painful indeed but think of the benefits after! (Im a physio by trade and kinda love this type of stuff!) Iv got both, PS3 and Xbox and if you want a purely gaming machine, get the xbox. If you want blu ray and some games, PS3 it is. Iv just bought Ratchet and Clank - thats the first game iv played on the PS3 and iv had it 2 months!
