    I can help you but only if you want me to help you
    All the questions should start from what car, what year, what engine is what fuel. What are the symptoms of the problem. Only then is what you know, what fault code, live data, what you have done.

    i would go for the ps3 as u dont pay to go online wear as xbox u do, both have a wide range of games but that depends on your son,the ps3 is also a blu ray player and can play 3d films on a 3d tv,so id go for the ps3 mate any day.

      My boys got both. Ps3 has sat there for a year doing nothing, it's all xbox. He likes to play on line with mates. Years gold membership is about ?50. Hard decision, it depends on what his mates have.

              Ask him which he wants. Yes ps3 doubles up as blu ray player etc.

              The xbox imo is a better value for money. You pay ?25 a year for live.

              At end of the day its which your boy would prefer.

              Ive owned both. Jailbraked the ps3 and modded the xbox. I still own xbox the ps3 was sold on.

              Forgot to add that most titles now are cross platforms so mostly avail on both but there are a few that are platform specific

                Fave replies from various threads

                1: What the fff is all that about??? All that crap below your reply I mean, get a life mate
                2: no info on google abt the pace sv5 rang asda they have no idea what i was talking about,
                3: Your total contribution to this forum, bordering on trolling, seems to have been a collection of snipes, one liners & asterisked expletives

                      xbox much better value

                      unless he has loads of blue ray dvds he wants to watch the ps3 comes second imo

                      my kids have both and barely use the ps3

                        My brother & my partners youngest both have xbox & ps3.

                        The PS3's were used for about a week before both were packed away & never used again.

                        Xbox seems to have the better fan base for online gaming.

                            The Xbox is by far the easier to open and work on.

                              i have a xbox, and it seems everytime you switch it on something new is added, its turning from a pure gaming machine to a media centre, my lad has both or did have used the ps3 once packed it off never to be seen again
