    Wrong thread to be discussing this, but they weren't unencrypted servers. If that was the case, anyone could have gained access

    Worth every EURO, excellent service.

    Overall, it works out cheaper to own an xbox.

    Launch playstation was close to €700.
    Launch Xbox was €300.

    The €400 I've saved has been reinvested in a working online system.

    EDIT: Another thing, if your XBox breaks they replace it. PlayStation dont.

    Xbox = WIN

    I got my PS3 for 250 :D Including uncharted2 + MW2 :D Bargin !!

    3 Reasons why i prefer my PS3

    1. IMO it has better exclusives + Far more of them
    2. Friends play on it (Works both ways obviously)
    3. Bluray - I've got a ton of bluray dvd's

    My xbox is loud as hell !!! Like a plane taking off when i start that bad boy up ! (Its a day 1 model)


    The PS3 outage couldn't have come at a better time in fairness !!! I'd love to compare exam results between xbox users + ps3 users this year !!!!

    Can't argue with the 3 points. Only thing I'll say is, the exclusives means nothing to me. I own 3 games. MW, MW2 and Blops. I don't play single player games. Gaming online with friends is the only thing that appeals to me and for that, I think Xbox provides a better service.

    Yep, no question about that in fairness, before the outage i'd argue that the PS3 does what its suppose to do, join a party and play some games, no need to be fancy. Hopefully they add some new features when it comes back online tho, doubt it somehow.

    Ye probably don't want to hear anymore about this, but I just clicked onto a few of the cod threads for the first time today, looks like everyone was on their time of the month :pac:

    I thought this was boards, not a turf war between the Bloods and Crips :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,026 ✭✭✭docdolittle


    Sorry if I didn't reply to Invites tonight, was playing with some mates :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,056 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    Similarily apologies to Floyd, Elkat and Paddyman. Being the Cod points whore I am, I wanted to make the most of the double xp.

    Played with Justsomebloke, Lazy and Lynx... excellent games - hard fought and v much enjoyed!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,152 ✭✭✭✭KERSPLAT!


    Usually the close games are the best, although I do like to spawn trap the odd time :P

    will be on in a while, get some more xp while 2x is still there

    Sorry for not accepting the invites lately either lads. I don't have the new maps so I'd feel like I'd be restricting ye in a way and also my brother playing splitscreen would take 2 places up in the parties! :mad:

    sometime today, not sure when though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,152 ✭✭✭✭KERSPLAT!


    Well what a load of arse :mad: came on just before 6 to keep the 2x xp going, at 6.20 I get an error message sayin BLOPS server unavailable n then got disconnected from XBL, think maybe they added something with the maps so ya couldnt keep gettin 2x xp after the actual 2x xp finished??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 99 ✭✭dohcturbo


    i thought it would have been 6pm.

    Is it the same as the ps3, if you dont go back to the main menu,
    Your still in the x2 xp playlist?

    Not sure, it kicked me back to dashboard, thats why im wondering if they patched something and now it doesnt let you stay in to keep getting the 2x xp

    I am still getting double XP, but none of the guys I play with are greedy like me so I am still on the older playlist and am stuck playing with randomers.
