I sold my PS3 over 18 months ago due to it taking up too much time. They will be practically giving them away after xmas so will grab another while I wait fro PS4 bugs to get sorted and prices drop a bit. If you are a first time gamer id do the same, seems a waste to pump £400 + into a console you may not like/get bored of.
I tried to convince my son that Sensible Soccer was better than FIFA the other day. He wasn't having any of it!
See, that was a proper football game. I used to love Kick Off when it first came out on the Amiga. Sensible Soccer was a huge step up though
Kick off was made by company Anco owned by the father of Jints who posts on here. Remember playing Tekken on early version of PS1 that his brother had borrowed and was blown away by the game/graphics.
Oh cool. I remember that Anco was based in Dartford somewhere.
When Kick Off first came out on the Amiga, that was just like the ultimate football game ever. I used to play it for hours every day with my brother then. Just being able to shoot and score from the centre circle was a thing to behold. We used to have games that were 38 goals to 37 just by shooting from halfway lol. Happy times.

Yeah Anco had shop bottom of West Hill and their offices on industrial estate by Unwins. His brother was my best man.
After-touch seemed such an amazing thing back then.

I used to work in the unit next door to them in Victoria industrial estate. At the time I didn't realise they made Kick off.........
Bit the bullet and bought an Xbox One today, Couldn't be arsed with going back to playstation and signing up to a plethora of things when all i have to do for my xbox is redeem my email and im on me way, plus with the intergration it has with windows 8 etc it made the decision for me.
what bugs are you lot on about, I got a ps3 the day it came out and it still works now, someone explain
First batch releases of hardware often have hardware issues ....but ur right u r still talking about a very small percentage of actual unita affected in real terms
i am now reminded that my ps1 still works fine and anyone else remember "chipping" it with a pencil and a rubber band so u could play the copied games sold at woolwich market? Ha ha
After-touch!! So brilliant, yet bending the ball after you've hit it... so unrealistic. Lobs nearly always went in, and you could save all penalties by holding the button down. Yet still Kick Off was legendary.
Emlyn Hughes, Kick Off, Sensible Soccer, ISS, PES 4 (I think) and Fifa 9 (i think) were the football video-game-changers.

Always problems with launch consoles. I doubt very much there are too many first generation X-Boxes on the go these days! Avoiding the ring of death was a game in itself. Don't remember the PS3 having too many problems, but I think I remember the launch of it being delayed quite a bit in the first place so that might be why. Just a guess though.
I've still got my original "thunderbird 2" style PS3 which I bought 6 months after it's release and it's still going strong (although I did have to have a new laser fitted a couple of years back). I also still have my original playstation & PS2, both still work fine last time I checked............
Had a ps4 for a few weeks but do t get much time to play annoyingly! Got assassins creed waiting for a blast but waiting for mum in law to go to bed first
Ok theres an issue with the discs , you have too download disc 2 first then disc 1 , then download the updates , now got to find receipt as it says the discs scratched and it won't read , don't you just love Christmas! :-0
Got my boy an xbox 360 for crimbo with fifa14. Is there any way he can play a tournament/league without having to connect to the WI Fi and Xbox live. Keeps saying he must be signed into xbox live to get the online features but won't let him carry on with a league.

ta in advance
If he wants to play Single Player then he shouldnt have any problems playing a tournament / league - If he wants to play multiplayer for example then he'd definitely need WiFi or Xbox Live... Can have a look later when I'm home from work

Cheers.He just wants to play single player premier league,fa cup kind of thing. Can't for the life of me see how you do it. Seems to keep pushing us down the 'go online.Play with 50 friends' route.

also i think the snes had one around 1990 where the game was pants but.the penalty shoot out were amazing
The Wii has been replaced twice and the xbox sold
Also did anyone have installation problems on the Xbox 360 with Battlefield 4 , having trouble getting it to load on my sons xbox 360.
Thanks , MIA.
I'm not surprised!
Im hearing the games will not be fully next gen for another 6 months, I still want one now
Its an xbox 360 game , and a xbox 360 console!
Easily the best console and easiest to set up and run straight out of the box
The wireless headphones are superb
Ps4 running like a dream
PS4 all day long. FIFA 14 is amazing as is bf4, thought assassins was a bit boring
They need good batteries but they are the nuts as good as turtle beaches
Cost 70 quid if you got a console from game 100 if you didn't
Well worth the money
