hello, probably a stupid question but need to know:

i have a ps3 and connected it by ethernet connection from the modem to ps3, do i get charged by virgin broadband

blakey_8 · 17-08-09, 07:54 PM

No ISP charges for using the Playstation Network, online play is free on the PS3 which is why I prefer it to the XBox 360 and XBox Live

.

The very reason i swapped from xbox live to ps3 was cos its free also
im now born again ps3 gamer lol in fact ive had less problems with ps3 than i did with xbox 360

The PS3 has rarely been known to overheat (Yellow Light Of Death) whereas the first XBox 360 consoles (and some newer models) are RRODing left right and centre :O.

wrong, i have had 360 for nearly 2 year and also my kids one and not one red light, i do clean mine every 3 month of dust etc which helps.
I don't mind paying £26 a year for live as i dont pay £40 a game.
I had a ps3 and sold it, way overpriced and 360 does excactly same as ps3 in terms of games, actually been proven the picture quality is better from a 360 than of the ps3, so i get best of both worlds

I said the PS3 doesn't overheat as much as the XBox 360, I wasn't talking about any prices.

Im with virgin and im online on my ps3 most night and its all free well i pay for my virgin of course lmao

its not the dust anyway thatt makes it rrod it doesnt help but its not that
its microsofts ****ty xclamps, they built them like this on perpose so you have to keep replacing them
think about it they know why they rrod so why not get rid of the xclamps and clamp the heatsinks down properly on all there newer models
easier than them stupid clamps anyway but no they wont do it because people out there are still buying them when they rrod
and most are after the warrenty anyway so they gain there
when you have one with a problem and you send it to microsoft when you get a new one the warrenty doesnt start a fresh it carries on from what was left over
which is wrong imo
think they charge 60 quid to start a fresh warrenty
thats what they charged a mate of mine anyway
