You want to use Component if you dont have HDMI on your xbox, its 3 wires (red green and blue) for the picture and red and white for the audio (yellow for a sub if you have one i think)

I have a PS3 and Xbox next to each other. Xbox connects to Wireless with no problems, PS3 connects but disconnects immediately.

£50 on a wireless adaptor well spent.

How so?

We have a wireless PC, wireless laptop, wireless PS3, and a wireless Xbox360 adapter; they all connect together, and stay on together.

Graham88 doesn't actually own a PS3, and is just an Xbox fanboy.

Flog it and spend the money on games for the PS3.


IMO none of them are 'quality games, GOW on the other hand

Never had a problem with my wireless connector thingy on my xbox. Had it on my old premium and now an Elite, prob getting on for 2 years I bought my xbox at the time simply because of the amount of decent games it had over the ps3. Seems to be in a bit of a dry spell at the moment though

But if you change the channel for the PS3 you are changing the channel for all wireless devices on that router. If it is interference from another wireless network then yes, changing the channel on your router probably will resolve the issue.

KillZone 2 and Resi 5 aren't out yet so how would you know fool?


And about the Graphics; I've got my PS3 hooked up to my 32" Bravia, and my brother has his hooked up to his 42" Panasonic, and his actually looks better But they BOTH look better than the Xbox that gets flung from room to room when there's nothing else to do. The only reason I actually play it is GOW2. Other than that I think they are tripe these days tbh.
