Just thought of another question.

Is the PS3 quiet when running?

My 360 makes quite a racket with it's noisy fan.

Thanks a lot to everyone who replied.

One final question though - what 'i' or 'p' does the PS3 run PS2 games at?

As stated above, the recent improvement in UK bundle deals has made me think very seriously about getting a PS3 tomorrow. Any general tips or advice would be fantastic guys. I already own a 360, so any comparisons differing features would be great. Just ahandful ofquestions that I can think of right now include:

Is the Sony version of Live any good?

Are there plenty of playable demo's around also?

Is HDMI a lot better picture quality wise than component or VGA?

What can a PS3 do that a 360 can't (feature wise)?

Any killer titles due to arrive any time soon?

Any absolute must have tiles around now?

Do I need a PS3 if I already have a 360?

You get the idea guys, any input would be much apprieciated.

Thanks in advance.

A quick point though. It would be nice to see a message on your 360 telling you that it's down, rather than it making out that your MTU isn't large enough.

Makes you think your router's to blame.
