Advantages: Good value on special deals Disadvantages: Not so great if you have to pay premium prices
Have you heard the one about how copper wire was invented by two Scotsmen fighting over a penny? You haven't? Well I haven't got time to tell you it just now, but it's a blatant misrepresentation of the Scottish psyche.
I was discussing this slur on our national character with a friend recently when I happened upon 4-pack (330ml) of KINGFISHER beer for the knock-down price of £1.99.
I grabbed those suckers quicker than a Jock slipping out the fire exit when it's his round at the bar, and toddled off home by myself (so I didn't have to share them).
But enough of that, what about the beer?
KINGFISHER is India's leading brand of premium lager with a share approaching 25% of the total beer market, it's the top-selling Indian lager in the UK and Europe, and it's also available in 50 other countries ...
Advantages: Excellent graphics, blu ray player, dvd upscaler, built in wi-fi, free internet gaming Disadvantages: Still quite expensive
i have now owned my PS3 slim for just over a month, and could not be more pleased with my purchase. As a gaming machine it is fantastic, and in my opinion far better than the xbox 360. Unlike the xbox 360 the ps3 comes with built in wireless and internet gaming is free, which to me is a massive advantage for the ps3. the extra features on ps3 are vast, theres the blu ray player which gives outstanding picture quality with a 1080p tv, not only that but the ps3 slim is also a dvd upscaler, brilliant if like me you have a vast dvd collection that you can't afford to upgrade to blu ray. One of the most recent firmware updates gives you the ability to watch bbc iplayer through the ps3, no more having to watch to missed episodes of top gear on a tiny laptop screen. In my opinion the small things make such a difference in putting the PS3 above ...
Advantages: Blu-ray, free online, nice extras like vidzone & iplayer. Almost silent operation Disadvantages: Rubbish controller, still expensive, online nowhere near as good as xbox live
Well, had the slim for a few weeks now (my 1st ever playstation), personally, I'm a little underwhelmed by it, I've been a gamer since the nintendo game & watch days & owned @ least 1 of the current gen consoles since the Mega Drive(Genesis).
Graphically the system has the potential to wipe the floor with the 360, but this is really only going to apply to PS3 exclusives as any software house making a multi-platform game is going to be as cost effective (lazy) as possible & use the same graphics on all the games where possible(ok, they need to dumb them down for the Wii). My problem here is that I have yet to get a game for it that runs in 1080P, they all seem to be in 720P! Why???? I'm sure they are out there, but I haven't found one yet. I guess this is down to most HD tv's being HD ready rather than Full HD.
Sound-Yeah, ok ...
