    It's also great for two player games with the missus. She seems to get the right hump with me continually coming first though.

    I thought about signing up for some online gaming, although the missus wasn't so keen. Too high risk of catching a virus she says.


    Good work PL

Besides I can now play fast paced good looking games on a large screen with 5.1 sound from the comfort of my sofa rather than sitting in my office with my face 10 inches from the screen.

      Of course a top spec PC will outperform a 3 year old console (at a price) but the current batch are better than anything that came before and they are now often the lead format when it comes to development. PC gaming has become a niche market.

        fell out with my 360 due to crap "live" on COD4 and 5. fell out with it that much i sold it to nephew for his boyfriends xmas pressie.

        Have a wii, PS3, and 2 NDS (and a game cube, PS1, PS2 and dreamcast but they're ina cupboard!). My lad and his mates are never off the wii, and the PS3 is constantly on but mainly for the media centre and bluray.
        I didn't say it was your ******* fault, I said I was blaming you!

            Sounds like you have too much RAM and a dodgy joystick

              Don't forget the dodgy floppy disk.

                XBox360 and PSP.

                Play the XBox every night, its an addiction I have.

                Most recent games I'm playing is GOW2m Fallout3 and Guitar Hero World Tour

                Maybe us XBox'ers could get online for a game?

                  Never could see the point of wasting so much time on computer games. Get outside, take up a sport, get some fresh air.

                  Have a mate that plays them all the time - what will he have to show for it?
                  Another friend spends all day playing them - but he designs and tests them for a living.

                    Gamecube that my son plays mostly, although I will help him kill particularly tough monsters etc. £5 for games on ebay, even replaced the whole console for £11 when it stopped reading discs

                    I'll get a Wii when they're equally as cheap

                      You figured out which end of the tennis racquet to hold yet or is the missus still giving you an ass whooping?
