with my crappy old tv it only has a scart socket and not the 3 cable slots does the box contain a scart plug for the cables to plug into

What? Neither LCD or Plasma's have bulbs. LCD's are made of temperature sensitive Liquid Crystals hence the name Liquid Crystal Display. Plasma's are made of Xenon and Neon gas. LCD is overall a better longer lasting TV hence it costs significantly more then a plasma. Projectors are the ones that use bulbs.

The Xbox 360 does have its plus points though. Xbox Arcade has a tremendous selection of classic games that have been redesigned and remade with better graphics like bionic commando, Xevious, 1943 Joint Strike, Joust just to name a few. And then you have the xbox exclusives like halo 3(which i didn't care for) & Gears of War 2. In my opinion PS3 exclusives are a lot better but that might just be because i enjoyed their PS2 prequel counterparts (Gran Turismo, MGS2, MGS3, GOW1&2). hope this helps.

Also i might add you get a Blu-ray player with the PS3 which by itself is worth the cost of the PS3. PS3 online service is also free however I've heard xbox live is better but still come on its free. And with PS Home launching in the near future there is still potential there. Game wise the xbox hands down has more titles then the PS3 but it has been in the market a year longer then the PS3. But exclusive like MGS4, Gran Turismo 5, God of War 3(when it comes out) can only be enjoyed on the PS3.

You should buy both they are both great systems with a whole bunch of excellent exclusives for each. However if you had to pick one i would go with the PS3 strictly because specification wise the PS3 is a lot better. the PS3 processor better knows as the cell broadband has six cores as opposed to the xbox 360's tri-core. We have not seen any game utilize all six cores yet but atleast you will be set for the future when they do. The full potential of the PS3 has yet to be tapped.

Thnx for the post. I'm looking into buing my first console. Haven't decided on either 360 elite or the PS3. This helps with research! If u can give me any imput on the comparisons it will be greatly appreciated!

The Red-White-Yellow one is composite in which the Yellow carries the video and Red and White carry left and right audio signals. The Red-Blue-Green is component in which all three cables carry video. in fact when you buy a component cable it should come with 5 cables Red-Blue-Green--Red-White. The Red-Blue-Green to carry video and the othre Red-White carry audio. Naturally you want to use component as it has more then one cable for video so you are getting much better video quality.

multicore esentially means that the cpu IC(integrated circuit) has more then one core on the same dye. for example before we had multi-core we had multiple processors. Meaning more then one processor on the motherboard. However this was not very cost or power effective. Multi-core puts the two or more processors on the same dye so physically you have one cpu installed in the computer but logically as far as the computer is concerned you have more then one. dual core 2 tri core 3 quad core 4

65 nanometers is the distance across the gate of the transistors in the cpu. the cpu has millions of transistors in it and these transistors are getting smaller and smaller as technology increases. i beleive the new intel chips are 45nm which is even smaller. to put it in perspective a transistor is smaller then the flu virus.

your right its 1.8 amps =1,800 mili amps and 2.5 amps = 2,500 mili amps not 1,800 or 2,500 amps lol
