I was playing COD4 on both machines so I feel that I got a good neutral benchmank to judge the two systems, but I found the PSN very frustrating. When I managed to get into a game it was Host blah, Connection blah, Server blah and then I'm back out of the game again - very annoying. I'm not saying XBOX Live is perfect, it's not, but it certainly feels like a better platform to me.

Well thats my rant over with...

(PS - Minni, I've borrowed Burnout if you want someone to crash into )”

I still haven't managed to get it for the PS3. Don't really see the point now. Not really interested.

And I would absolutely LOVE someone to crash into Dragon

yep the scratches were the same on my original burnout disc(little one knocked the 360)and it was good enough for them to take it trade in a few months later

its 3 pound odd at game but if you take 3 in i think its a fiver,so if you have any other scratched discs(minor or major scratches) get them taken as well

This can't be good...

I've been getting "please remove and clean the game disk" type error messages while playing COD4 - the disk looks alright, some slight scratches, but not much damage - so I'm starting to wonder if 8 months of solid multiplayer hasn't burned out the disk or if the cd drive/laser reader is now on its last legs.

I agree. I can't believe it's been that long.

Yep, it was November last year that the game came out and took over our lives and free time

Even longer for those of you that played the Beta.

Don't worry, I've never played Burnout Paradise - so I expect I'll be even worse.

I love COD.

Anyone know if double XP is still happening? I know it finishes Monday but have no idea what that means in GMT (can't be bothered to google it...lazy!)

Just for future referency, games I have:

Burnout Paradise
COD4
RSV
Crackdown (never play it)
Rock Band
Guitar Hero 3
Viva Pinata
GTA IV

Boy you're clairvoyant!

How on earth are you checking out what your 360 says from work?

Unless.....exactly WHAT IS IT YOU DO?!?!

I didn't mean I was getting the messages right that second - I meant last week and over the weekend.

Mind you, maybe they could add that feature to the 360Voice website "I'm not feeling well Drag0n, please get me fixed"

The errors are hosts quitting the game, not a network problem (lag is a p2p problem anyway) so there are a fair share of plonkers who just quit the game all the time. To say Live! is better than PSN based on people quitting is a little unfair.

The thing about this game is, when you don't play for a short while, you're fooked when you try and make sense of it all again!

I will definitely need to get some practice in before I go on this weekend. Oh Oh that reminds me!

You do realise that the host end game problems are nothing to do with the PSN or the playstation?

I'm really surprised you two even knew that was posted. Why do you feel the need to defend everything regarding the PS3, whenever it was just a general comment, which he even said about the 360?? Not one of us even replied so it was dropped as soon as it was mentioned bar you.

This thread will not turn into one of them other stupid threads all about the PS3 and its pluses and the 360 and it's minuses. He came on here and told friends what he had thought of his experience. He wasn't trying to start anything.

Please drop it for the sake of harmony guys.
