Buying Xbox 360/PS3 for offline gaming

how many of you Xbox 360 owners but non XB live member? Modded Xbox can't go online, the risk is that will ban your console for life. Most people still playing jacksparrow game on Xbox360, they got no choice but to stay offline, playing split screen once in a while.

As for PS3, though PSN is free but more unstable than Live, and games is more expensive and no alternative.
Since current gen consoles is about online gaming, is it really worth if I just buy Xbox 360 and play offline single player mode? I want to try on GTA4, RE5, upcoming FF13 which also fun enough to play offline

Is it worth to get PS3 now?

Though the price for 40 GB is as low as RM 1200-RM 1350, has dropped almost 100% if you compare to early 2007. My question is will it continue to drop further? My target is RM 1000 for 40 GB standard pack, possible to occur in next year? 75% of the reason I wanna buy PS3 is for FF13 and upcoming God of War 3. Burnout Paradise is quite tempting but I can wait for it. FF13 won't be out at least until end of year.

btw , do the current 40 GB using 45nm chips?

What advantage do the bigger size in PS3 games

Hi forummers, comparing Xbox360 and PC games DVD9 and PS3 blu-ray disc, PS3 games usually have more than 10 GB of game data for the same game in multiple platforms. I don't know what is the usage for the extra file size in PS3 game disc? What additional data to be stored? Does that mean PS3 uses least compression compare to PC and Xbox360?

I read that Bluray movie must have at least 7.1 ch sound, but does that includes games as well? Is that PS3 sound will always better than PC game sound? Coz most PC games will not have 7.1 ch nowadays, correct me if I m wrong.

And also isn't the bigger size in the disc, the longer time it take to access? This is one of the disadvantage of console compare to PC. Overall, PC games can have awesome graphics, Xbox360 can achieve decent ones too by just using DVD-DL which is 9 GB. So why PS3 games would need that much of game data size to produce graphic almost on par to PC?

XLink Kai on PSP

I am now connecting my PC via Netgear USB wifi to a wireless AP in my home
if I plug in a Planex to connect to the PSP, will it be any problem? Need this for Xlink connectivity

I not sure what does promiscuous actually means, but I ve run VMware with network bridge to host OS, and I can surf web under virtual machine. Asides that I also can see the IP of the virtual machine in Winshark, a network sniffer program. So does that mean promiscuous is enabled? Since it can connect to 2 LAN IP address with one physical adaptor.

Need to confirmation before spending RM69 for a Planex.
