you can do all as the ps3. the only thing is, you need to pay for online play.

and you get 250 hard drive with the new xbox slim so all the games can be copied.

you can't flash the new xbox yet.

you can play copy cds and dvds an dvd data full of movies.

avi xvid will play on the slim! but 1st u need to grab the update for you to watch movies.

That feature has been removed mate. Linux can no longer be installed on a PS3, an update was released that removed it and if you refuse to take it you aren't allowed to connect to PSN.

What can you tell me about knect ie is it similar to the wii.

AFAIK, it doesn't use any type of controller at all mate.

You just stand infront of it and move your arms and legs, sort of like the Eye Toy but better (allegedly).

I still haven't fully decided yet, at the min i have a starview box and its going to off before very long. So the ps3 is going into the bedroom and either a xbox or ps3 will be in the living room,so everyones happy. I'm interested in info on knect b4 i decide. My happiness is more important than the kids, cuz they'll leave home and then return with more kids who will wreck the house eat the food then leave.They already call me a coffin dodger.
