The last console I had was a Wii (which I was pleased with for the first couple months) and then I sold it before going travelling... about 3-4 years ago.

I've now finally bought an XBox360!

I got it with Kinect and Dance Central.

I've got CODBLOPS at home as my housemate had a spare copy!

Going to set it up tonight! Can't wait!

Apparently, Xbox doesn't have the multiplayer problems that PS3 has. The only thing that dissuaded me from ever buying an xbox was the RRoD.

Give it a few months and I'll have my HD TV and I'll prob buy a PS3 aswell :D

Just seen that LBP2 is out in Jan! Still, no regrets, Forza is excellent and GT5 is reported to be not that much of an improvement so overall I'm happy.

Can't remember my PS3 making any noise and as reported above Sainsbury's were going the PS3 for £200

PS3 is also a capable BluRay player, and with the addition of PlayTV, a decent Freeview based PVR too. My PS3 is used for more than just games as result, and we don’t need two extra boxes.

Though a bit of a bugger if someone wants to watch a BR, whilst another wants to play a game. Sometimes it doesn't matter if you have an extra box.

My HTPC/server does that with films, Freesat HD, Freeview (if I could get a signal where I live), BBC iPlayer, and HD streaming etc

Don't get me wrong, I know I'm going to get a PS3, just not for a while

I must say I haven't noticed my PS3 making too much noise. I certainly don't notice it while watching a DVD/BR or playing games.

I imagine it may pick up after it's been on for a few hours when the fan works overtime but I always switch mine off when I'm not using it.

The fans are quieter yes - they're larger and spin slower, but the DVD drive is the same, so presumably just as noisy and prone to gouging discs...

The PS3 is more expensive, but I couldn't say I miss my 360 or that I'd ever buy another one.

I think we know that by now ;) :lol:
