Hi folks!

No this isn't another thread about the fantastic-ultra-mega-awesome-gorgeous-sexy-giga-slim-PS3, it's more like a "warning" to some folks.

Don't just go and buy because you read lot's of stuff (at least in this forums) about the slim thing. It's slim in size and other things.

For example did you know that you CAN'T create a voice party with your friends? You can only create one in some games? So your only option is to create a text party.....

BUT in the XBOX LIVE you CAN create a VOICE PARTY with your friends! The maximum is 8. You can chat all night even if you aren't doing the same things. For example you can be playing an arcade game, one of your friends can be watching a video and other playing HALO or something. In the future you can watch movies or shows together.

There's no slimness that can beat this......

So think again when buying a new console.

Wooa... talk about flaming...

No flames at all. I didn't offend anyone.

It's just a thread like millions of others out there, just trying to balance things.

People are always creating threads about the RROD, about MS, etc. This is a thread to balance things out.

did you now on the xbox 360 you CAN'T use a web browser you CAN'T play with your friends for free with dedicated servers you CAN'T watch music videos for free You CAN'T play 60 player FPS online you CAN'T make a realistic avatar create a home walk about a community play games and socialize in a virtual world , both console have their perks, there no need for this really is there?

Yes I know all that. I have one.

Party, voice party beats all that. That's why we pay for the service, because it's better.

Did you know my friends have PS3s?

Some of mine too.

But you can't party chat with them like on LIVE, can't you? You can't play Assassins Creed 2 and chat with your friends at the same time, can't you?

I don't fancy paying £40, just to have voice chat, i play LAN party anyway with friends, its way more social , and if one of my friends shoot me in a drunken cod 4 session, if i call him a prick, I'm pretty sure he will still hear me. Also i can still talk when were in the same game like on gta , resistanse or whatever, I don't think i could play assassins creed single player, and have someone talking to me about something completly different it would put me off, if my friends want to get in touch with me while im playing they can leave me a message on my psn

I never got the point why you would want to talk to a friend playing a different game.
