| Quote Robbo="Robbo"Just starting out on GT5 and so far so good. Quite an enjoyable game, My only problem is that because I broke the controller I have a cheap crappy wired generic one from asda which is ok but as the analog sticks seem a bit stiff steering seems a bit trickier than it needs to be.'"
What is your opinion on it after coming over from 360? My PS3 tends to be used more often than my xbox, but as far as Driving/Racing games go Forza is king IMO, far superior than GT5, GT has fallen behind.

Never really played Forza tbh, But I did play a lot of dirt 3 and I really enjoyed that.
Both consoles have good and bad point's. Not used the ps3 much but part of the reason I got it is I was after a blu ray player. I only paid £70 by the time I'd fixed the drive so it seemed worth it. The web browser seems a lot better. And not needing to pay for a "gold" service to use Lovefilm and other online apps that I'm already paying for to begin with is good. Infact if the ps3 had sky go I'd probably never sign upto xbox live again. I only really used Live for sky go and Halo 4 which I have drifted away from now anyway.
As I get more games I imagine that with newer title's I'll probably be choosing the ps3 version over the xbox.

| Are we all mega excited now for the unveiling of the new Xbox? I think we are.
I was going to take the day off work for it, but if the PS4 reveal was anything to go by, the stream will be so poor it's impossible to watch live anyway.
I just hope it looks cool, get some nice lights on the thing.

| It doesn't start until about 6pm so I should make it home in time to catch it all.
Looking forward to what they have to offer this time around, and I think it has been confirmed that both FIFA 14 and CoD: Ghosts will be getting some screen time during the conference.

| Not seen much as i have just got home from work, but the live switching between tv, games, music and apps is mega impressive.
The bit about this gen having 15,000 servers for Xbox Live and the new one having 300,000 sounds implausible unless i heard it wrong.

| It's not the most aesthetically pleasing console I've ever seen, and that's putting it nicely 
It looked absolutely massive! Really hope the ps4 looks better than that.
Not bothered about talking and waving my hands around to change outputs, I have no issues with using a tv remote.
Also, this isn't great news [urlhttp://www.computerandvideogames.com/407912/microsoft-confirms-pre-owned-fee-for-xbox-one/[/url

| I'm not impressed tbh. The console itself reminds me of an old top loading VHS player I used to have from the 80's :/ , and all they seemed to focus on was entertainment. Which to me is already covered with my ps3 having a blu ray and my pc. They made a big deal of being able to use a mobile device as a remote which again, isn't anything new and something that I do all the time with my iphone and pc when I'm watching stuff through my pc.
the new xbox live does look impressive, but it will come at a cost which is another thing that put's me off. with GTA5 coming to this generation and probably keeping me occupied for a while I don't think I'll be in any rush to be getting a next gen console.
It would appear that they have made deals with E.A to try and get exclusive content but it's all stuff that would usually be added extra's anyway.

| I like the design. Simple and minimalist.
Not sure if I'll buy it on launch, will depend on the price. Not too fussed about the various features and Kinect etc as I only really play the 360 simply for games and I don't play online, although having a blu ray player will be handy.

| Having looked at it closer, it's a very classy design. The thing is apparently silent in operation, which is an enormous improvement over the helicopter like running of the 360.
The reveal did focus on entertainment, but so it should. Xbox Live is an incredible facility and people now spend more time doing stuff other than games than they do playing games. Whenever I go on, everyone is watching TV, films etc. People go on about it not being free, but I'd pay double for Live, it's that good. 15,000 servers for 360 becomes 300,000 servers. Butter smooth.
The TV integration looks utterly fabulous. If they get Sky on board with that, I'd buy it just for that. And they will.
The instant switching and launching is great. Being able to go straight back into your game might sound like a minor thing, but in reality it'll be such a good experience that you'll soon wonder how we ever waited those two or thee minutes to fire up the console, log in, launch the game and get through all the splash screens and menus.
The controller looks like a masterpiece. It's just beautiful. Digital clicky button switches like the expensive tournament controllers, fantastic sticks and a beautiful fit in the hand (As it's based on the 360 controller which is great) and force feedback in the triggers. IN THE TRIGGERS!
The reveal shows all the good ideas Sony came up with, like the sharing features are already on Live. I don't think the status quo of Live>PSN is going to change any time soon. E3 is going to be good this year for once, plenty to see there.
The only worry I have is the price. That level of depth at launch has got to be expensive, especially with Kinnect no longer an optional extra? Are we looking at £500+?
