I own all the good exclusive games on PS3 - Uncharted and Resistance. And only Killzone 2 to come... PS3 aint looking good. In response to Robtot, when PS3 finally gets going, Microsoft will have its next console out... and it will be doing poorly like PS3 is doing. Its a cycle!

I have 2 360 consoles. They both lock up a lot, more then my ps3. My old ps2 locked up more then my ps3, my mobile phone locks up more then all put together........... This is just life. so stop your whingeing. deal with it.
If your complaining about how long the updates are, get faster broadband. i have 1500 and it only takes me 15 mins, not 1 hour. or use that time to do something productive. lol

At work we run high processing applications 24hours a day, 365 days a year, hardly ever a fail. There is no excuse for a system to lock up, using software that was designed for the system, Its a design fault pure and simple.

Am i over acting or is anyone else starting to get angry at this. I feel like selling and buying a 360 again.

I think .. People with too many choices are becoming harder to please. Does anyone remember when you were a kid how one game was enough value to keep you happy and content for weeks if not months. When finishing a game just meant you could start fresh and do it all again.

My point is, when you have choice you are never going to 100% happy. There will always be greener grass on the other side. However if what you have is all you know.. then its better than nothing at all!!

Ive had just about every possible console from the atari through to the ps3 (many i still have today)..each have their place and have something the others dont. Granted i dont play some of the old systems anymore, but i dont feel like chucking them out just because the last game release was 10 years ago..

I feel as i get a bit older, im starting to understand the term value. Nearly the best thing i have done with the PS3 is to only buy one game at a time. This way, i will get the most value from it.. instead of playing games half way and then stopping to play something else. Im getting weeks dare i say months out them.. just like it was when i was a kid!!

my suggestion.. get one game, play it through, if it wasnt what you were after sell it... and move on to the next option. There is always choice, just dont abuse it or it will reduce the value of your PS3!!!

For all those people complaining that the ps3 has less ram then the 360, get it through your heads that they both have 512mb's, yes thats right both of them. The only difference is the ps3's split into 2 specialist 256mb (2 x 256 =512mb) blocks meaning that it can act a lot faster (4x in fact) than the 360's one general 512mb. So stop jumping on the 'ps3 lacks ram' bandwagon.

My PS3 has only frozen when my internet crashed and i was in a online game, other than that, it has been fine.

And it isn't the PS3's fault, it is the developers fault, the PS3 has lots more games coming out this year. I never thought Haze would be good anyway.

And yes, you are over-reacting

If your not happy with PS3 then go get a 360. I'm very happy with my PS3 and all my 360 friends wish they had one.

Dude if it does fail (and most likely does at some point) you wouldnt notice due to redundancies etc. We have the same thing, and believe me no matter what you do or how good your **** is, it will inevitably fail or play up in some way

Hay guys first off don’t go telling members were they should or shouldn't post. They are able to have an opinion and all of you should respect that.

Now I think I’m the total opposite of most of you guys. I seem to be drowning in games this year. And I know that there are still tones more to come. Just so far this year I've gotten Burnout paradise, DMC4, GT5p and GTA IV and they have all be extent titles. sure most of them are all available on the 360 but I don’t have one so it doesn’t worry me.

And looking forward we have MGS4, DBZ: burst limit, Civilization revolution, Ghostbusters, the force unleashed, socom: confrontation, Little Big Planet, Motor storm 2, Valkyria Chronicles, fallout 3 and resistance 2.

So to me there are just so many dam good games coming up on my PS3(not to mention the few PC games that I’m looking forward to ) that I’m not going to have the time to play them all.

I love it as a Blu Ray player and divx player.

As a games machine I'm honestly so underwhelmed by the graphics so far (on all the games I have at least).

In no way would I offload it though. I'm hoping the developers will eventually get their act together, because at the moment the 360 is embarassing it graphics wise when it shouldn't.

"Im running out of patience with the PS3" ............yeah?...and?

Dont want it then sell it, no need to start a big commotion out of nothing over it, make your own decision, but dont go crying when MGS4 comes out and blows everything away...

The reason Killzone 2 was pushed back to next year is because of the amount of AAA games coming out at the end of the year. Developers are milking everything they can in order to get some money.

Patience is a virtue, and when you succeed, you shall be rewarded.
