I have a special tweaked version of XP (200 mb installation disc even) on it which boots and runs extremely fast and use Mandriva linux 2009 (2008 till a few days ago), so my XP installation doesn't get clogged up with programs that aren't used for gaming. Anyone who games on a pc knows the biggest reason in gaming slowdown is all the additional crap installed. Besides that Mandriva is extremely versatile and user friendly, way more then XP and I hardly have to worry about virusses. Booting into a different OS can be a pain sometimes, but is well worth it. I am also not offering the option of PS3 vs 360. That is a done deal for me as Starcraft so clearly pointed out. I have my PS3 hooked up to my HDTV downstairs and it's a blast. Streaming, playing games, BD movies which aren't even an option on 360, basic browsing to check the current weather on radar and so on. Biggest advantage is that it is SILENT (big deal while watching a film as you all must be aware), something my previously owned 360's were not and would never deserve a place in the living room as a media center for. Note, even though I have a coolermaster case and special fans, my pc simply isn't silent enough to compete with PS3, love it otherwise though. This topic is about the choice between a handheld and a console that will get a place next to my PC, not one that gets center attention as that position is filled with full satisfaction. A luxury item that will get less attention then my other units and getting some dust on it is ok. Please bugger off with the " he is biased because he criticized my topic" crap. I have owned a 360 before and I am trying to be open minded about this myself. I don't need distracting posts from a certain fanboy who has never even owned another console then his precious 360 so f... off. The 360 is only 149 Euro right now for a limited period and well worth considering. Thanks for the advice from everyone else though. You guys rule, though I have still have to make up my mind unfortunately. |
ok, than PSP
