Black, White and now Silver, thats it the 360 and Wii are finished!, well done Sony it giving the gamers what they really want!

Mmmm, silver consoles are the sex. Shame it's the stripped-back, 40GB no-BC console. But I want me a silver DualShock 3 now. Oh yeah. Hell yeah.

On the subject of PS2 BC, it nearly scuppered someone I know this week. They were after a Blu-Ray player. Some idiot in an electric hardware shop tried to sell them... a 360. Such lunacy. Fortunately they called me and asked me about it and after I stopped laughing I told them that 360 does not contain any built-in next-gen media device, although you can get an HD-DVD add-on if you fancy gambling on a bad deal. But if they wanted Blu-Ray in a console the only choice is a PS3. After I described SingStar to them as well, they were dead set for it.

So they went back to the store and the assistant was setting them up for a deal to get a HD TV, PS3 and a game for a decent price. But they did not have SingStar PS3. So what did the assistant offer them as an alternative?

SingStar PS2. Which they said "will work just as well".

Jesus. Fortunately the people called me up to check and I had to tell them that the assistant in the store had no bloody idea what they were talking about from start to finish. If the deal they were getting was not so special, they would have walked away.

But imagine, buying an HD TV, 360 and a stack of Blu-Ray discs, setting it all up only to find they had been misinformed. Then taking back the 360, getting a PS3, and SingStar PS2, getting that all home, and the game fails to load...

In summary: non-gamers who are buying PS3s for the Blu-Ray player are being confused by the inability to play PS2 games; and shop assistants are retards.

Well looks like your friend was after a blu-ray player shame the format is not as good as HD-DVD as it has better movies, better interface and extras.

Also with the 360 would have been able to play lots of better games and better controls along with Guitar Hero 3 which works better on the Xbox 360 and with the 360 having better exclusives, better graphics and online.

Shame your information is about as bad as that stupid shop assistant lol.

I hate to be uncouth, but f**k off SuperSaiyan. You are full of bullshit and fail. Anyone who thinks "LOL" is worth writing has not got any f**king clue about anything anyway. Your opinion is so worthless. HD DVD is a dwindling format; certainly not worth buying as an expensive add-on to a s**t console. This will be sitting in their living room, so they don't really want a noisy piece of ugly crap in there, thanks for your (s**t) advice. I can guarantee they have made the right choice; and by the way, Guitar Hero is a game for people who can't play real guitars. Me, and most of my friends, have no interest in it. SingStar is much more fun, but you won't see that as you need real friends to get the most out of it. You clueless t**t.

360 has better controls? What they hell are you on about anyway? Even my 360 owning friends will admit the controller is not as well-designed as the classic PS layout. Spoken like a true fanbaby, Saiyan. "Well done" for being a biased tit.

Knowing this family as well as I do, they will have a bloody riot on SingStar. They made a GOOD choice. I'd like to say "f**k off and die" to you, but I will not resort to such pathetic measures. I will, as usual, just laugh at your utter drivel and go off and do something more exciting than reading your constant nonsense. Idiot.

I swear to god this retard just come son here to wind us up, because no one can be as f**king retarded as he is, SuperSayian go and take your 360 HD addon and hide under a rock somewhere and f**k it until you actually have 1 clue about anything, and while we are on the subject make sure the rock is big enough to crush your tiny mind.
