No. WRONG.

The Xbox 360 = commodore - its common and it breaks down alot.

PS3 = Z Tune R34 GTR - power house piece of technology, slick styling.

Wii = smart car - cheap, something different, a to b.

Edited by vietorious
Wii = Nana's corolla (something that is cheap, but gets you from A to B)

PS3 = SS commodore (people with no idea think its the best thing on the road)

Xbox 360 = Z tune R34 GTR (the best all round package by an absolute mile)

Accept it.

rofl thats so stupid

xbox 360: $579.95 + Xbox 360 HD-DVD player: $250 = $830

OR

PS3 with Bluray = $580 (big W)

Seeing as HD-DVD seems to be losing the format wars thats another nail in the coffin for the xbox

Not to mention that you have to buy a specific xbox360 headset when the ps3 can use any blutooth headset etc...

Best all package my arse, the amount of extra accessories you need to spend ontop of the xbox, it doesnt turn out to be such a bargain

PS3 has more powerful hardware compared to 360.

Thats about the only good thing I can think about it atm...

Don't think I have seen mod chips for PS3, but theres plenty of them for 360.

Probably go with 360 much cheaper with mod chips & stuff.

What TV do the people have that you are giving the present to? You won't see any good graphics if you are still using an old CRT (like me :rofl: ) TV.

As for HD DVD vs BRD, I will stick with my trusty DVDs thank you.

Dude you need a girlfriend.

If I didn't have a girlfriend the Wii and Gamecube wouldn't be in the house. The Gamecube was a christmas for her a couple of years back because she wanted one and the Wii was a random gift because she wanted one of those. Its not a g/f I need its more money. Just so you know the only consoles still hooked up at are the PS3, Wii and PS2 on the projector in the downstairs lounge room and the Snes, Gamecube and PSone is hooked up in the upstairs loungeroom. I have 3 nephews and 2 nieces that visit weekly with another 2 nephews on the way so it helps keep them entertained while they are here.

Haha comparing consoles to cars, that cracked me up.

I gotta agree with what people are saying though about xbox360 not being that cheap - i paid bout $600 for one just after they came out and then i recently purchased a wireless adapter for it so i coulde use xbox live. The wireless adapter was $145 and xbox live was bout $90 for 1 year.

So all up thats $835 for an xbox360 with xbox live.

From what i have heard the playstation3 comes with a wireless adapter and online is free?

I am pretty keen to get a ps3 actually - not cus i think they are better but its got different games on it ;) i think xbox has some great games on it too, but i am looking forward to playing gt5 and mgs4 they look like awesome games. And ive always been a huge fan of the ff series.

Oh and there's no disputing anymore that bluray will win the next gen dvd war so it also doubles as that which is awesome value.

Its funny, when the ps3 was first released it seemed like such a rip-off compared to the xbo360 - cant help but think the tables have turned now though, the coming year will be a very interesting one in the world of consoles i think.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
