Yes, and you probably wanted a platform with more than half a dozen games...

That crashes, requires add ons for wireless internet & does not play blu-ray discs.
A matter of choice of course, but am more than happy with the ps3, had no problems with it & the bonus of blu-ray.

I appreciate that the PS3 is technically a better console, but a games console is exactly that - for playing games on. Any games console that only has a handful of titles falls at the first hurdle, irrespective of the extra bells and whistles.

Given that the OP was looking for a games console for her relative, I think she's probably made the best choice. I imagine that little jimmy couldn't give a rat's arse if it plays Bluray or not ;)

Like I said its your choice. Blu-ray stores more info, the ps3 is a lot better end of.
The guy is thrilled to bits with his console & thats all that matters for this post, every-body happy.
So you own an outdated console that has a million and one games & you are happy with it, good onya:blink:

Take it from a household that has a PS3, an Xbox360 Elite and a Wii for that matter, the differences between a PS3 and an Xbox are not worth bothering about. They are both excellent games consoles. The PS3 may have a slight edge because of its 'extra' abilities but in terms of sheer game play there is nothing to chose between them.
