And on top of the argument, people really shouldn't underestimate Achievements. Getting that little extra achievement on a game over friends really is great fun, especially if it's not easier. I know you actually like this because you platinum games on PS3, but the achievement system is so set up for instant comparison with anyone, any time, no syncing, instantly and can also be done online.

The reason it's done is because Xbox360 has implemented this from the very start, so it's involved in every way, this is, as I mentioned briefly above, moving into avatar clothing etc... now. Very exciting times.

Oh, and one more thing. Natal.


And I assume it's going to be implemented on some old games as it's currently set up and working with Burnout Paradise, which SuperKaylo was shown playing in this weeks "SentUAMessage"

Achievements, certainly, i'll never be able to catch up with people who go for the high scores as, as i said previously, all multiplayer games will go on the PS3 as that's where my mates play so my achievements will be split between consoles. But games like Assassins Creed which i basically just quickly played through i will be redoing for achievements just because i like that '100%' feeling and the PS3 version never got trophies patched in (this applies to many of the older games).

Natal really doesn't interest me i'm afraid, but then neither does Wii motion plus or that weird Sony day-glo motion detecting sex toy. Had my fill of motion sensing crap. I've been watching it closely and frankly, i just like a control pad.

It's not about the high scores, it's about the 1k's.

I too am not a fan of motion sensing, but Natal really looks to have so many possibilities outside of gaming.

Who cares about 'outside of gaming' when it comes to a games console?

Right, well, i'm convinced. Problem is i nearly bought a second hand 60GB for £115 off of a certain market for members (is that a good deal?) but realized i've got my car service due early on next month so i've got to wait and see how much that'll end up costing me before i go and fork out for another console. If the missus would let me sell the dusty box of crapness known as the Wii i would get it now, but she has to have access to Wii fit, damn that stupid game to hell.

Stupid car.

PS3 owners?
It's becoming the center of a media set up now, Twitter, Last.fm, Sky TV, Facebook, MSN and now you can use it as a video phone set up. Have you seen the one where they are scrolling through clothes, or where you can photo your own texture onto something like a Skateboard etc... Or how you can use it for social aspects like quiz games or pictionary (which looks AMAZINGLY cool), and that Milo tech demo is simply fantastic.

Seems a more than fair deal to me. Does he not have any games? Is he trustworthy?
